I would not be surprised if China got access to the blueprints of the Mistral by this time.
Not that they would need them given their current naval industry construction capabilities.

no, China wouldn't need Mistral design ... but it is always useful to look at other good design like Mistral, you would always learn something from it ;)

Mistral is just too small for China (~20k tons), China would build in my opinion about 40k tons LHD

works fine but does not give where or whom the tonnage came from.

Inside the link, there is a "

Also as I said the other two links (Wikipedia and National Interest) do not seem credible.
