There's no Chinese aircraft carrier in Syria
China may deploy her navy to Syria in the coming days, but there are no reliable indications that any Chinese navy arrivals are imminent.
Taking the reports one by one:
1. The web has exploded in the last few days with relays of a vague report from Al Masdar News that Chinese military personnel are expected to arrive in Syria in the next six weeks. That could happen. Now that it's clear U.S. power will not be used in any decisive way in Syria, China may indeed see utility in putting down a serious political stake in the outcome there. More on that at another time.
