Presently the US Navy is a snake eating his tail. Smaller ship need less crew, Constellation class would have helped in number in that case.

We can see a difference of more than 50 crew members between 052d and 055, about 15% minimum. Dont know if China run in the same problems. We can look also where these ships are build, keeping busy multiple shipyards bring larger production and competances.

there could be large amount of chinese sailors in various shipping companies willing to join PLAN if tensions get high (at least for the very basic sailor)

There is no lack of Chinese youth wanting to join PLA, PLAAF and PLAN. Although China has conscription law but they don't need to apply them because every year, the number of volunteers far exceeded the recruitment target. They also have large enough training facilities and training ships to train their targetted number of crew.
