Some said that the Chinese would typically wait for more ideal period (ie. warmer, less humid) to apply paint coatings for the best possible effect. By that logic that means it'd be after Spring then they'd apply paint work, and so until then work schedule would concentrate on other aspects of construction, such as fitting out the interior etc.

According to the newspaper’s report, ‘Shandong’ is the working title of the aircraft carrier, which was given in honor of an eastern China’s province. Its other possible names are under consideration – if the newly formed Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission decides to change the title, it will have an opportunity to do this.
The aircraft carrier will become the country’s second vessel of such a type after the Liaoning, which is currently based in Qingdao, northern China, looking at Japan and .
China and other countries in the region have territorial disputes with Beijing over the South China Sea. Sovereignty over almost all of the strategically vital waters is asserted by China, while its Southeast Asian neighbors, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei, have rival claims.

To admit IMO unlikely. In order to set a sign for the greater imprtance of the SCS more regular deployments of PLAAF and PLANAF regiments to the alreay established islands would make much more sense. Even more the name Shandong - if indeed correct - is IMO a clear hint that it will also be based in the North. If the SCS-fleet would have been its future assignment, then Hainan or any of the Southern Provinces would be a better name ...
Just my 2 Cents.
