Actually, do they really need an aircraft carrier? (Other than showing off and stuff, I doubt with their economy they aren't willing to fight a war lol.
If they were to launch an attack to Taiwan (which I hope not and doubts it), their airbases are so close to that island that they can just fly there :| (Speaking of aircraft, anyone knows if Taiwan is planning to buy F35-B? That would be a great advantage because STOVL... if China takes out their airbases then Taiwan can still launch their planes)
Anyways, for those who are interested about the chinese space program...
Project 921
Stage 1: Develop a manned space craft (just accomplished)
Stage 2: Space lab (I am guessing its not perminantly manned)

Stage 3: Reuseable orbiter

I doubt the 3rd will be any time soon. I'd say at least 20 years from now.
