It's obvious that CASIC (a missile maker) and CSIC (shipbuilder) collaborate closely on something like a VLS.

Looking back at 2018 Zhuhai Air show, I found this one for HQ-16E, with missiles in container/canister. They are not the same but share some similar features. The new VLS could be an improved version.
Forget about the missiles shown in the new VLS for next week's show, they are just models, not exact replication of the real thing. Also note that they are not stored in container/canister unlike the display in the 2018 show.

Note that the quad packer is at the corner. IMO the VLS display with the quad packers was shifted in this pic so the HHQ-10 launcher display took its position.

If Shandong goes as well they will have enough for a mahjong table.
Counter what?
VLS should be from CASIC. Only ship is CSSC.

All 3 carriers are within DF-21D range and other Chinese ASBM and ASCM.
