Yes, having a carrier is a big deal. However, the Chinese now have the same problem that many countries face when they attain new capabilities/equipment. That is experience. Their two biggest competitors are the US and India. Each of which have decades upon decades of carrier operations experience. They may have a carrier, but fighting and winning with it is a whole other story.... A least for now.
