That might confirm 75 is 31000t and 75A is 40000t (as SCMP reported). CSSC did a great job boosting the hype around it.From "大猫和他的小伙伴们“:-
Type 075 is around 31,000 tons. And its hangar is able to accommodate helicopters only.
Its subsequent variant Type 075A has much larger displacement. The hangar is able to take in various types of aircraft (presumably it meant rotor wing and fixed wing).
(As for what type of fixed wing aircraft, nobody knows. You may guess it as a STOVL or VTOL, time will tell).
The design of this variant is said have been completed.
Last point - priority is given to complete construction of additional contract for type 071 LP D over that of type 075, that is why the appearance of type 075 hull is late.
*** This is a info not confirmed by PLAN nor the shipyard (they never confirm anything until you see the leaked photo ) ***

It won't be a surprise to expect UAVs on top of it either then.
