I see there is 2 lifts. One rear and one in the centre (roughly) It doesn't look that big going by the render.

My question is, I don't see evidence of a side lift so why have one in the centre?

Obviously the chinese had the US experience to inform their choice, but they have opted for this configuration. I really wonder why?

While this does not answer the question, The PLAN are not the first who has opt for this configuration. The French Mistral Class has a similar layout albeit with the center lift located after the island tower instead of before it.
The PLAN might have drawn their inspiration there.

Yes, I know the Canberra class and the spanish equivalent has this configuration too. Perhaps they do not envisage need for high intensity sorties. The lack of side lifts give a slimmer profile and perhaps that allows them to enter more ports or passage ways?

There was a mega-debate about the ship's dimensions and sizes with the PLA observer netizen community. Hence all the posting with pictures measuring the ship. There appears to be a "smaller ship" camp, and a "larger ship" camp. Thank goodness, October 1 came and everyone's attention turned to the parade.

I use the following image as reference and I got for the 075 LHD 1474 pixels and for the 071 LPD 1304 pixels
1474/1304*210 m = 237.38 m, maybe someone with better tools can measure it with more accuracy.

235 seems to be the right figure ?

That’s pretty long

I am beginning to think that the original rumour about a Type 075 at 30,000 tons and a Type 075A at 40,000 might be false

This seems to be 30,000 tons +
