China Begins Flying Jets Off Carrier

Two months after the Liaoning set sail jets have begun flying off of her decks.

J-15 fighters, built completely in China spent Sunday doing test landings and takeoffs.

It's a history event for the country, who never before had an aircraft carrier.

 China is increasingly boosting it's military spending, with 2012 expenditure jumping by over eleven percent.

This comes as the country pushes it's claims over disputed islands in the South China Sea and with Japan.
