Default Status of the Kiev?

Does anyone know the current status of the former
Soviet aircraft carrier Kiev? It was supposed sold
to a Korean company for scrapping, but was then bought
by China. It has been undergoing refit as a museum and
casino. The ship had a fatal fire in 2003, and that is
the last I have heard of it.

I am not talking about the Minsk, which is open as a
museum, nor the Varyag (which is not Kiev class), nor
the Kiev-class carrier that was just bought by India.

This one I am looking for is hull number/project 1143.1,
the first of the Kiev class that was actually called the
Kiev.
