My bad. It might actually be 11 extra not 9.
There are also rumored to have ordered more 055 and 20 054A.

Check out this link below.
In fact, Chinese netizens generally believe that 23 052d and 20 054 will be added.

A few quick questions. How reliable the dimensions of the Type 052D actually is? Are reporting from CCTV reliable enough?

I checked the numbers stated on english and Mandarin wikipedia, and out of curiosity checked the source on the mandarin wiki. It shows

and I checked it out. Its a 2015 reporting from CCTV 13 and the dimensions stated are:

Full load Displacement: around 7000 tons
Length: 156m
Width: 18m

Now I'm curious if the stated numbers are accurate or just an estimation/"official" numbers which the reporter just read as instructed.

It is interesting that at the Chinese wikipedia, they have expanded the # of entries from 30 to 50 for type 054. But they have not made any updates to type 052d yet.

No, it's not interesting, as it has been pointed out to you on multiple occasions by myself and others, that anybody and his grandmother can edit Wikipedia without providing sources. Stop your obsession with wikipedia. Just stop.

You don't need to go there of you don't like. Those people have collected a large amount of information before they made any changes. It is only one of many sources of information.

As the presenter speaks, you can see one of the older Type 052 on the background.

The number 117 already tells you this is in the Qingdao base, and the background would tell you that too.
