Which fleet will Varyag go to, East or South? What about the indigenous carrier after the Varyag--to the same fleet or spread out the wealth?
In the future use the FAQ thread for your questions.
Was this vehicle ever entered into service because Jane's also claims it is in PLA service ?

The Type 90 Armored Fighting Vehicle, with the NORINCO manufacturer's designation of WZ551 is derived from the chassis of the German Mercedes-Benz Tiema XC2200. Since 1992, the Type 90 has been deployed with PLA ground forces. Following the trend of PLA infantry modernization towards larger rapid reaction capabilities, the Type 90 provides an ideal means of transportation for such needs.
