Didn't they buy one from an ex-Soviet state? And isn't it in the Black Sea waiting for permission from Turkey to go through the Bosporus? (Think so.)

It appears that you are partially correct.

China has apparently purchased an incomplete Aircraft carrier from the Ukraine. It has no engines and is being towed around in circles in the Black Sea north of Turkey. That'll certainly provide air cover for their invasion of the United States.
