Just a comment on this current back and forth proof demanding. If someone said on December 25th that the next day two (TWO!) sixth generation fighters will fly/be unveiled, there are many who would have jumped and demanded proof, doubting and deriding such claims. Next day they were proven wrong.

So when it comes to new carriers, don't jump with doubts and demands of proof when claims are made, at least stay neutral. More often than not claims and hints regarding major chinese defence programs have proven to be true.

No, since we knew, who claimed this ... here - at least per my understanding - it is not one of the usual suspects but a rumour and now a few satellite images that are not really conclusive. As such already now to jump the band-wagon and calculate displacements since two flat modules are lying in a dry-dock is not the same quality of credibility like for both next generation fighters!

And concerning "More often than not claims and hints regarding major chinese defence programs have proven to be true" it shows only how naive you are ... there are countless claims in Chinese social media claiming the J-36 would be hypersonic-capable, would be powered by a dedicated RAMjet engine in the middle" and none of this is likely or in fact plain stupid. As such it all depends on WHO claims what and here I haven't seen a credible poster like the usual three "confirming" it.
