If you're building a costly fleet of Carriers only to restrict them to operating within 1000 or so nautical miles of your coastline, all you are doing is wasting your money. You should also, at the same time, forget about dominating the oceans that surround your coastline.
....

Is this suppose to be some troll statement?

Everybody knows that conventionally powered carriers have the range to travel across an entire ocean.

this article says that China has 2 more 003 carriers under contruction. lol any truth to this?
Maybe it is true. I used to hear a rumor that the amount of 003 is three.

Considering type-004 is nuclear, I think China need more conventional carriers before nuclear carrier.

After finishing the new bunch of 052Ds and 055s, JiangNan and DaLian may construct the type-003 at the same time.

Can you copy and paste the full article here? The rest of the article is being paywalled.

When and where did you hear such rumor before?

I would be estatic if that's really the case, but I'd like to keep observing.
