If it does fit into PLAMC doctrine(assumption based on class called 07x),And for the 076 he mentioned, there's something interesting for 施佬, looks like these are from a group chat he's in:

He says 076 solves the problem that China doesn't have F35B with a unique solution, and "you will understand once you see it".
So I guess no matter how they achieve that, what we do know is that PLAN does value LHD/LHA that could transform into carriers when needed... And we won't see a STOVL jet from them anytime soon.
POP3's original words says " 054B is close to start", I don't know why the tweet rephrase that to "054B will be built simultaneously".
I understand why this could be the case, maybe they want more operational ready frigates quickly as the 054B might need more time testing after been built.
I just want to clarify for anyone that can't speak Chinese that POP3 didn't say "simultaneously", at least not in this quote.

It's described as "you will understand once you see it".
If we assume that it's not a half-measure like VLS for "strike + air defense, and if we are all in agreement that it's not a STOVL aircraft, then I can only assume it to be some kind of fixed wing conventional take off aircraft.
For a large LHD, the space available would likely be appropriate for large UCAVs.
For a large LHD, it wouldn't be impossible to install a single EM catapult and landing gear in a workable fashion...
