The onset and growth of Chinese naval airpower has always been exactly that. ☺️

China is also now building drone carriers, roughly the size of WWII era escort carriers.

Interesting, and to me seemingly quite sensible to at least try. If it turns out a dud and is scrapped or repurposed, they won't be the first.

If useful, I wonder if the RAN will start toting drones in numbers on their Adelaides?

Unlikely, as all of the Adelaides have been gone from the RAN since 2019. 😉
