Who says this isn't just one giant inflatable bouncy station?

The Chinese are not stupid and know that other nations would be taking satellite photos, so one of the possible explanations is the Chinese just trolling everyone with a satellite camera.

Maybe it's just a hull and they build the real ship inside the ship?
