This is a poll to see what the SPF members think about the chances of China starting construction on at least one nuclear powered cruiser in the near future to complement/protect her carriers, actual and planned.

For the record, I voted for 18 months.
 
During all the excitement earlier in the year, one of the things that got drowned out was reports in the Russian and Chinese media back in March that the Chinese government had given the go ahead for the construction of large nuclear powered vessels for the PLAN (excluding for the moment aircraft carriers). So 2015 may be an interesting year indeed...
