Chinese military forums are all talking about the imminent construction of aircraft carrier 004 in Dalian Shipyard.
Weibo is also talking about 004. Haha, 003 was forgotten by Chinese netizens just after it was launched.

If Type 004 Is going to be a CVN it is probably more exciting to speculate about.

Once the type 003 is ready for catapult launches and recoveries, especially with the J-35 and upgraded J-15, people won’t see it in action, so the shipyard developments of the Type 004 are probably the most interesting of the Chinese carrier program.

Btw, is the following an accurate guess of the design of the Type 004?

Considering it may take years to work out all the issues with a CVN, if the PLAN builds a nuclear powered Carrier one day, the sooner the better to work out any design or operational issue, so CVN21/Type 005 will be a refined design; a Chinese equivalent to the USN’s Ford Class.
