Honestly I don’t see there being a issue
My only question is, is it nuclear or conventional power?

Should be enough for two carriers and one crew ship as we have seen in Dalian.

Looks like an upper hull module incorporating the structure that supports the flight deck-edge overhangs.

What are the large buildings on the right? They have only been built recently. Anybody know?

I think the term for extensions from the hull is "sponson", but don't quote me on that...
The beam estimate of 41m is on the higher side but is within bounds of what we've guessed it to be like.
For those wanting the original source and picture:
The article isn't very useful as it doesn't add much that we already know, and it still makes the mistake of calling it 002 rather than 003.
Otherwise the key reason it's useful for us is the satellite picture where we get a good estimate of its beam. 41m is a bit bigger than expected but it's within bounds of what some of us have estimated in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being closer to 38-39m. But we know that it isn't something like 32m.
