According to the OP, the excerpt talks about carrier Shandong. Apparently, close to 10,000 landings have been carried out on the Shandong. Does anyone have access to this article?

Seems like there's been quite a few news stories about the carriers these couple days
People's Daily front page:
yeah, I also saw it here
This is pretty impressive if true. close to 10000 takeoff/landings in just over 5 years would mean 2000 per year (at least recently).
In this recent deployment, they did 380. But most of the time, I assume they do land based takeoff/landings.
There's also this story:
In here, this is mentioned: He clearly remembers: the first 1,000 takeoffs and landings took 3 years; the second 1,000 took 7 months...
So very roughly, if we start from where the first flight took place, the first 2000 takeoffs were done by around April 2022, which leaves around 3 years for the rest with this assumption. This is about 1000 per ~4.8 months, which is not too far off from the 7 months figure. It's also "close to 10k", which could mean something as low as 8k, for example.
the first takeoff of the J-15 from the Shandong aircraft carrier occurred on August 8, 2019. It took 3 years, until August 2022, to complete 1,000 takeoffs and landings. The next 1,000 were achieved 7 months later, in March 2023. By July 2025, the total reached nearly 10,000, meaning approximately 6,000 takeoffs and landings were completed in the following 28 months.
