You should check up CCG 3901 and CCG 5901. One of them came in handy during the last encounter with destroyer size US Coast Guard ships in SSC a few years ago. CCG3901 and 5901 are way way larger than type 052D in size.

Why don't they just transfer all the type 056 to the coast guard?
PLAN did transfer all their 056's to the CCG. The 056A's are still all in PLAN.
There are currently 25 052D/DGs in active service with the PLAN, with at least 10 more under various stages of construction or sea trials.
There is no singular, ultimate source to depend upon when it comes to PLA-watching, as it is always the case to first gather from wide variety of sources, followed by making analysis and inference on our own before deciding/concluding on which findings are true/more accurate or not.
But if you only just want a quick brief look at numbers, Chinese Wikipedia on modern PLAN warships are somewhat more accurate and up-to-date. However, they can and do get wrong on some information, hence caution is advised.

A bit of a gap since the last 052d why would this be you think?
Because unlike building cars - Building ships takes much more time. And the shipyards typically receive orders from the navy to build them in batches.
