Frankly, not at all impressive to me. The only interesting bit is the firing of their "GAU-8":

Chinese 30 mm Type 730 Close in Weapon System

China has historically fared poorly in military operations outside its own borders.

Recognizing this, their plans for future warfare with the US don't include a lot of military operations.

Winston, I suggest you do some research on China's plans for "Unrestricted Warfare" or post here what you've already found.

Sounds like you already have, so please elaborate.
 
Some things struck me in the video: #1 Shoulder launched SAMs from the deck? #2 Looked like 40MM Bofor Quad mounts. Still an effective weapon & in use by the US (AC 130's for one), but I believe the US Navy no longer employs them on US Ships.
But, I would believe someone is a threat with a flintlock just as soon as one with an RPG!
