Who decides when China's fleet is large enough

When China's government is satisfied with its size, which the answer does not expect soon.

Question

When will the Chinese Navy stop growing?

Short answer

When China's government is satisfied with its size, which the answer does not expect soon.

Notes

The answer does not predict a fixed fleet size or date. Growth is tied to when China's political leadership decides it has reached the desired scale. That point is judged unlikely to arrive soon. This is a political assessment rather than a quantified force-structure forecast.
