I search the entire Web and this term appears only once: in this article and nowhere else; apparently the author coins this (Chinese) term. Naturally there is no English translation.
(ii) "M型"?
(A) The article explains: "美中关系在M的两个端点间不断摆荡，紧张关系将成为新常态."
Therefore this is the definition of M型, by the author himself.
(B) The concept is not new, in a sense.

Joseph Trevithick, Chinese Aircraft Carrier Seen with a fleet of Drones on Its Deck; Imagery shows the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong working as a deployment platform for vertical takeoff and landing drones. The Drive, June 2 2022 https://www.thedrive.com/the-war ... t-of-drones-onboard
(:mages have emerged online that appear to show multiple examples of at least two different types of commercial or commercial-derivative drones with vertical takeoff and landing capability on the deck of the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong. * * * The images were posted recently on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo, but it's unclear when they were taken. At least one, which actually shows a drone in flight, has a CCTV-7 watermark, indicating that it is a frame from a segment that aired on that television network. China Central Television's (CCTV) channel seven is devoted to People's Liberation Army (PLA) related programming")
There is no need to read this report (beyond the quotation above. When I read the this report in VOA Chinese and the title in The Drive, I thought The "vertical takeoff and landing" (VTOL) is based on America's either Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey or F-35C. However, the video clip (title: "JOUAV CW-20 HD Video") in this The Drive article shows primitive quadrotor AV (aerial vehicle) made by Chengdu Jouav Automation Technology Co 成都纵横自动化技术股份有限公司 (established in 2010; UAV stands for unmanned aerial vehicle -- I do not know what JO stands for).
(c) "据了解，中国新航母的排水量为8万多吨，辽宁舰和山东舰的排水量约为6万多吨。 * * * 台湾军方智库、国防安全研究院中共政军与作战概念研究所副研究员舒孝煌 * * * 表示，虽然003航母使用电磁弹射系统，但它仍采用传统动力，不论是用燃气涡轮或是蒸汽涡轮来产生动力，都会有相当耗油的问题，因此003航母打击群在向外投送武力的时候，将不可避免地在它背后需要维持一条很长的补给线。 舒孝煌以辽宁舰过去在西太平洋演训10天的情况推算， 辽宁舰在中途有换过一艘油船，代表辽宁舰大概7天就需要换一艘油弹补给舰；但003比辽宁舰更大，消耗的燃油更多，尤其若要维持电磁弹射系统的运作，它的主机必须全时开机，再加上003舰载机的数量又比辽宁舰更多，所以燃油消耗也更大，这将是003航母未来的作战挑战之一。"

蒸汽涡轮 steam turbine
(ii) Both turbines will explored further in a follow-up posting.
