Yikes! I'm guilty.. I did not read it either..
Looking at the flight deck I see where another helo spot could be added on the starboard side aft..Or on the stern.
Compare to the old USN Iwo Jima class & Mistral..Remember modern ships give much more space for accommodating the crew and embarked marines. the troop accomdations on an Iwo Jima were horrid. I don't think the Iwo Jima's carrier any large vehicles..They were lacking a well deck..
PLAN LHD proposal;
If you actually took the time to read the article you would see that
And you can see the outlines of the well deck door, again at the link:

I saw an article on this in Kanwa. It looks like the domestic design is supposed to be a lot larger. Even Type 071 can handle 4 helicopters in the hangar and could land 2 Z-8s (and possibly another Z-9) at the same time. If this get exported, maybe they can export the Type 726 also.

It all comes down to price... To me, if the price is right, this design could be competing against something like the Makassar class sold by DSME to countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Peru...

Egypt is also Looking into expanding its amphibious capabilitys but the political situation is not allowing follow through, buying Chinese ships would be a obvious choice for Egypt especially a LHD
Turkey can and is building its own LHD, but Egypt does not posses that kind of resources and experience so buying off the shelve LHD would be the best choice, throw in a few LSTs and you have a very good landing party and the hovercrafts would be the iceing on the cake
Malaysia is also looking into LHD
