More Type 055s or a Chinese nuclear surface combatant?

Will China build another Type 055 batch or stop at sixteen and move to a new class?

Another Type 055 batch is likely, though a nuclear-powered surface combatant could serve as a stepping stone toward nuclear carriers.

Another Type 055 batch is likely because the design is successful. The main alternative is a nuclear-powered surface combatant, potentially used to develop reactor experience before nuclear-powered carrier construction.
