Below is a collection of Type 093B SSGN "surfaced" on the Chinese internet the last three months. Bad pun, of course, intended. Sadly, a close up of the much talked about pump-jet propulsor has not available yet but I will be keeping an closer eye on it.
Quoting US DOD Annual report to Congress 2024:
"The PRC launched four SHANG III class (Type 093B) guided-missile
nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSGN) between May 2022 and January
2023 and could have three hulls of this class operational by 2025. This
new SHANG class variant enhances the PLAN's anti-surface warfare
capability and could provide a clandestine land-attack option if
equipped with LACMs "
