It's a few feet longer & the island is smaller. Also it doesn't have the missile compartment like Yaryag/Liaoning had/has.

It has the same length.
Key Facts
- The island of the Shandong is approximately 10 percent smaller than that of the Liaoning, which provides additional deck space.
- It displaces roughly 66,000 – 70,000 tons, a few thousand more tons than the Liaoning.
- It features the advanced Type 346 S-band AESA radar system.
- Its airwing is expected to be slightly larger than that of the Liaoning, featuring around 8 additional aircraft.
- The Shandong may have an internal arrangement that is better optimized than that of the Liaoning.
- The Shandong is limited to six days at sea before refueling, which is similar to the Liaoning.
- The Shandong reportedly underwent back-to-back sea trials in early August 2019, suggesting the vessel experienced technical problems during trials.
Oh please ... just do a simple fact-check and do NOT repeat the most often wrong Wiki!
Yes, the island is smaller and eventually its displacement is a bit larger ... but the Shandong is surely not 315m long; they are the same in this regard.
Its ski rump is not as steep, so it is a bit longer.
Care to prove? And please not again via such BS-sites like "The National Interest" (which just posted, the J-20A will now use again a new Russian engine) ... from all I know, they are exactly the same.

The ski-jumps of Kuznetsov, Liaoning and Shandong are all angled at the same 12°.
compare
The slope of the ski-jump ramp on the 001A is 12 degrees, compared with 14 degrees on the Liaoning. Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie said the 12-degree ramp would help fighters shorten their take-off distance, save fuel and increase their weapons payload while strengthening the ship’s structure.
Have a nice day!

just from the photos of them it's clear its ski ramp isn't as steep as on the CV-16. The Chinese would be stupid not to make it better & longer.
