New York Times, General Hints China’s Navy May Add Carrier:

Although he did not mention any country by name, his comments were clearly aimed at the United States, which has 11 aircraft carriers, including the George Washington, which was recently deployed to Japan. Of the handful of other nations that have aircraft carriers, including Britain, France, Italy and Russia, none have more than two.

Maybe if we sold one to China we could drive down our trade deficit a bit and stave of the recession.
