I think this may be catalogued as a medium tank or a new class entirely. We´ve seen prototypes with extra armor (and not just extra side ERA, even the hatches were different) and 3 gun options so far. So this is what I´m thinking: this is a 2 man, low base weight "lego tank". With firepower, protection and mobility tayloreable depending on mission needs.
PLA Next Generation Main Battle Tank

I wonder what the tall thingy shrouded under the camouflage on the back of the turret is... Awfully large and placed in a golden spot. My money is on some kind of hard-kill counter UAS system.
reloading APS isn't normally done since after a few interceptions the sensors are gonna be basically non-functional.
If the system can't be reloaded why it's retractable? Also can you elaborate why the sensor will be non functional after a few interception? first time heard of that.
Fragmentation can still damage the sensors
Ah that makes a lot of sense never thought of that thanks.
New MBT seen in May 2024:
Seems very quiet. I checked back through the thread and it doesn't seem we've seen this footage before, but maybe stills from it? Interesting that the gun doesn't appear to be faceted like we've seen in other images.

Tangential question...
Is that a street sign with a tank on it? ~20s mark over the police car
The video isn´t new but its the first time I see it fully.

if this was taken where I think it was then yes it will have a tank on the street sign, they move vehicles pretty frequently on a public road between facilities.
