I think what China needs is more helicopter and other vertical transport capability. Maybe something like a tiltrotor.

They would still need places to operate from. And for greater distances between allied land bases and combat zones (ECS, SCS and maybe even the southern stretch of the Taiwan Strait), more LHD/As (and perhaps LPDs too) will certainly be needed.

Looks like sure thing the arresting cable is right in the middle!
Total width 45m, landing stripe with safe margin = 25m, 10m parking lot on each side.

My theory is that while angled deck needs a 30m landing stripe, stright deck only need 25m, beacuse it is easier to land.
10m vertical is enough for the drone's max body length of 12-13m.

high-speed drone/plane max wingspan cap at 15m, 5m margin on each side. ( Chengdu multi-role, J35?,GJ-11 )
low-speed drone max wingspan cap at 17m, 4m margin on each side. (Wing Loong 10 & 3 carrier verion)

My theory might be true:
Its possible that they might use the middle of the deck for recovery.
Blue: for launching aircraft
Red: for landing and recovery
Yellow: for island and parking aircraft/helicopter
