Very good news. I was banned in CJDBY.
The management of CJDBY is so bad, I hate it.

You mean 001? 001 was commissioned in 2012. It's not scheduled for decommissioning until after 2050.

It is completely unsubstantiated. There were no reports from the Chinese (or Pakistani) government about this. And not even any rumors in the Chinese forums.

Besides being only one of two carriers in operation, the Liaoning will be needed to train carrier pilots for many more years after the CATOBAR carriers come online.

It'll be in PLAN service for most of our lifetimes.
