The Chinese are carefully increasing the squadron sizes and the complexity of the air wings. How many aircraft fit on the flight deck is pretty much the last question that arises.
Just assume there are enough space on the flight deck to fit all aircraft that are needed to sustain the decades-long process.
... and the next aircraft carrier design will certainly contain a larger ship - or it will stick with several aircraft carriers of the current size in order to be resilient.

So now people are no longer afraid of MSS.
Much of the orange layer coating on the flight deck has disappeared/been covered. Satellite photograph taken by Sentinel 2 today (28 January 2024).

Imagine this beast transiting the Suez Canal with a full deck of J15/J-35 on route to the Mediterranean
that would be some sight
