This doesn't seem right, since a Nimitz carrier which is 50% larger costs around $6.2 billion.

And the two new British flattops cost only GBP 6.2 b together. If you take out the investment that is also meant for following flattops 001A must cost much less than GBP 3.1 billion, say around $ 2 or 2.5 billion. Chinese shipyards are much more efficient than British ones and comparable equipment will be cheaper too.

Maybe entire program cost, not just unit costs ? Wikipedia also mentions its $9B dollars. There was Chinese tv shows says 500B yuan
