The article assumed that 003 would be repeated (once) so the fourth carrier would remain be 003.Ähhhm ... From Type 001 to Type 003 I count only 001, 002 & 003 to three?! So how do they come to 4?
It's mentioned in the lines you quoted above, it should have set its wording more explicit
"From type 001 to type 003, China would have 4 aircraft carriers in 2025. In 2025, it is estimated that China's fourth aircraft carrier type 003 will be launched into service. By then, China will have at least 4 aircraft carriers."
