Yes, you're right, thanksI believe his name is Huang Xuhua/黄旭华。
092 is equipped with JL-1 which has diameter 1.4 meter. Take a look at this image of 092 with hatches opened, how is it possible for sailors standing on the podium in a 8 by 20 formation ?I would not discuss whether it is decommissioned or not but this picture was taken 6 years ago.

Yours was taken before multiple modifications. Here are some another images of 09II at various stages with hatches closed for your reference.

09IVs have very different SLBM hatches.
Your imagination made me laugh. You are telling me to imagine the podium width of the hump to be 7 nteters while the launch tube is not much larger than 1.4 meters in diameter.The top width of the hump of 09II is around 7 meters and the shoulder width of the sailors is 40 centimeters. I don't think it is too hard to imagine.
Something strange and fishy as the original poster of that alleged 096 photography removed his post, therefore I may have jumped too quickly into that 096 belief. Sorry mate.Is there any good CGI of Type 095 and 096? Saw around internet but could not find any, while piling here is too thick to dig.
It maybe 094, but thanks anyway.
There are rumors that the 09V will finish construction this year if it has not done so already ... as for the commissioning of Chinese nuclear subs, I wouldn't bother waiting. The Chinese nuclear sub program is one of the most, if not most secretive program in the entire Chinese military.09VI hasn't even started building. Better watch when 09IIIB starts launching/commissioning. By the way from the pic the design looks backward, no way it would be next-gen SSBN.
