Looks like C-803. These photos show its structure well.

not really sure where to put this, but a new marine surveillance ship (I guess) is getting launched as 990
if you remember back a couple of years ago, they launched 991, which was China's first naval SWATH ship if I remember correctly. Looks like for this one, they are adopting catamaran design.
荆楚网消息 (楚天金报) 昨日，武船重工建造的我国最大最先进的60米全铝合金穿浪双体试验船顺利下水。
该双体船是我国自主研发、自主设计、自主建造的最大型全铝合金穿浪双体船。为深V双体船型，总长60米，型宽18米，型深5.9米，最高航速可达到38节（每小时70公里）。可广泛用于水上客运、交通作业、海洋监测、安全救助、海关缉私等。（记者朱安璋 通讯员阿龙摄影报道）
basically, it's an all alumium catamaran ship. It's 60 m long, 18 m wide, 5.9 m draft and has a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Looks like a commercial ferry to me. Australian commercial ferries are the genesis of this design. The Chinese acquired some when they took Hong Kong back and applied the design to FAC's. This one looks pretty commercial though. It would be interesting to see the stern, that would prove or disprove the point.
What do you mean they took designs when they took Hong Kong back? PRC boat builders have various business collaborations with Australian boat builders.
While it may look like a commercial ferry, that 990 pennant says its government owned.

It may indeed be government owned. Without a stern view however it is impossible to determine what if any sort of surveillance mission it might achieve. It may be nothing more than a ferry for military personnel.
That hull form was developed by Incat of Australia. They have been building ferries on that hull form for well over a decade, it is their signature product. Here is their home page.
There were several of these in operation in Hong Kong when the British returned Hong Kong to China.

'hull form' ? I thought you were going to show reports of Incat working with the Chinese on this boat or they bought some parts from Incat.
Car A has same '4-wheel form' as car B so it took the design from car A. LOL
For any of the ships ordered by the gov't, they have very specific designations and this one is for what what I mentioned. There is no need to see the stern, since the article already said exactly what it's for.
doesn't really matter what the Australians are using it for, PLAN has been using this hull form for a lot of stuff other than ferry, although they do have a design for transports.

Have a look. China is using Incat's signature hull form. Their direct competitor in this class, Austal, uses a different hull form. This hull form has been around for two decades, long before the Type 022's or this thing.
At least give credit to the Aussies for their innovation. China emphatically did not develope that hull form.

LOL, you want me to show you a 4 wheeled car & then claim other cars have taken the design ?
To claim credit for a piece of engineering work whose design can just be taken by looking at it is really a sign of desperation for credit really.
If they want credit, better come up with something better whose design takes more than just being looked at to be 'taken'. LOL
At least then the credit will be worth something.
