Chinese infantry fighting vehicles

We've known about this for a while now. Manned turrets eat into internal space, which reduces seating capacity for embarked infantry to six. IIRC, the exception is the APC variant, because the basket for machine gunner is very compact.

As an example, the Thai VN1s feature remote weapon stations that don't penetrate into the hull, thereby allowing eight soldiers to embark.

In a video about the new telescoped cannon there are 8 seats in the back with an unmanned turret.

Do we know if they're in service? What is their designation?

We're developing a game and a mod with PLA inside of it and this would be interesting to add for the PLA.

A side question - how many soldiers does a PLA squad have? 9? 8? fewer?
Is it configured closer to the US one, with two equal fire teams?
Or to the Russian one, with a weapons team and a maneuver team?
