This photo taken on August 4, 2011 shows China’s first aircraft carrier, the former Soviet carrier Varyag which China bought from Ukraine in 1998, at the port of Dalian, in northeast China’s Liaoning province. The aircraft carrier has begun its inaugural sea trial, the defence ministry said on August 10, a move likely to stoke concerns about the nation’s rapid military expansion. CHINA OUT AFP PHOTO
