It seems China is taking incremental steps.
First build a conventional ski-jump aircraft carrier.
Then 2-3 conventionally powered ones, but with catapult launch tracks.
Then, go for the gold with a nuclear-powered AC with EM catapults.
BTW, rumor has it the Chinese nuclear AC(s) will be even larger than the largest (US) AC in the world in terms of tonnage displacement...
