Would not surprise me, they are hot to trot in space, stands to reason they aren't going to ignore the sea.

If these rumors prove to be true, the most disturbing thing is how it challenges the conventional wisdom that China's given up on aircraft carriers for the time being. I remember a while back People's Daily English version actually ran an article explaining why the PLAN won't acquire carriers in the near future. More recently the Taiwanese press has reported China's seeking small helicopter carriers as a stopgap measure. We'll see soon enough what's really been going on.
