How many sea trials do Chinese carriers make? Also at this speed what is the expected date of sea trials ending?

No one knows the exact number. Franklin have made a note on the sea trials for the previous two carriers. You'll have to search for it as it's buried in their respective threads. Based on the previous two carriers, the sea trials lasted just over a year (IIRC). Keep in mind that this carrier (Fujian) is more complex with the catapult system (and other things that we don't know about) so I'd expect the sea trials to last a bit longer than the previous two (assuming no problems found).
