DC Think Tank Says China's Third Carrier Can 'Put China in a Very Elite Status'
The company building China's aircraft carriers has said that it wants to create and field nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with electromagnetically assisted launch systems by the mid-2020s. US observers say that even if only the second requirement is met, China will quickly join a very small group of nations with carrier-building capabilities.
Last month, The Diplomat reported that China could have as many as seven operational aircraft carrying ships by 2025, including four carriers and three smaller aircraft carrying vessels. The estimate followed rumors that a Chinese company's request for a bid on a nuclear-powered icebreaker may in fact be the first step toward the creation of a nuclear-powered carrier.
That news followed the leak of an image that appeared to show a carrier design with three catapult launchers, prompting speculation that China is well underway to developing electromagnetic launch catapult technologies as well.

Can anybody tell from the hull blocks already if it will be like 001A or different?
Im not so known with the cross section of the kuznetsov class.

Looks more like we have another demo module in our focus.
Another grainy flyover photo, dated August 19, 2018...
By the way ... are these buildings or additional modules?`

Because it looks like this site is (still) mainly used for other things that have nothing to do with an aircraft carrier.
