The PLA hasn't introduced a new service rifle in ages? The last new service rifle they introduced could be argued to be the QBZ-03 and even it was a complement to QBZ-95 at most.

This new service rifle has been spoken of as a military wide new service rifle.

It was a figure of speech, seeing that China has made at least 3 service rifles after the QBZ-95 including this one, none of which seems to satisfy the PLA enough to fully replace the former.

And what was this figure of speech of yours trying to express?

That the PLA has introduced a number of service rifles uptill this date and so far none has seemed to latch on. So that raises the issue of how far will this new rifle go in the PLA.
Every now and then a new rifle pop its head only to fade away into relative obscurity even when it does showed up in a major parade like this.

Okay you need to be a bit more specific.

Which service rifles after QBZ-95 has the PLA actually inducted?

Because after QBZ-95, the only one they did indict was the QBZ-03 which was intended as a complement to QBZ-95.
The only other rifle could be the QBZ-95-1, but that's a variant of the original QBZ-95.


So, not including original QBZ-95, the PLA has only inducted 1 wholly new service rifle in the form of the QBZ-03. The QBZ-95-1 can be considered a variant of the original QBZ-95.


The Chinese arms industry produces some new service rifles every few years for export yes, and some designs are for trial.
However in terms of service rifles that are actually adopted by the PLA, there's only been the QBZ-95, QBZ-03, and QBZ-95-1.

... And now this new service rifle whose designation we still don't know.

Are there any definitive answer to if the buttstock is foldable or if it contains recoil buffer like m16?

We don't have a definitive answer yet. I'm sure we will get pictures in a little while which will tell us.

1)The QBZ-03 which is only found in the PAP, selected units of the Militia, and the Airborne Corps. Even thought it was shown in full parade back then. Which is a tad shame.
2) Another rifle which was not named which seems to be the Chinese attempt at the AR-15 which generated quite a bit of fuzz but then fizzled off.

for the pictures.
3) And finally this one which is seems to be another variant of the above said rifle with redesigns to the muzzle and barrel (3 vents instead of 2).
