It is almost certain that the new Chinese IFV will be based on Russian technology. China has reportedly obtained some BMP-3 IFVs from Russia in the 1990s for trial and evaluation purposes. A technology transfer deal of BMP-3's weapon system has also been reportedly completed.
A source from the Chinese military industry confirms that China is designing 2G IFV with the upgraded version BMP3 turret technologies. The progress of the project has been slow, as there are still disputes and disagreement within the Chinese army concerning the future direction of 2G IFV. Besides, the 2G IFV upgraded from BMP3 technology is extremely expensive and therefore cannot be deployed in the army in large scale. The source claims China has conducted tests on two upgraded models of 2G IFV. The latest version adopts the upgraded version BMP3 turret.
The chassis of 2G IFV is designed by China, and the reliability of the chassis is still one of the major problems.The source stresses the major reason of importing BMP3 fire control system is to further study the designing principles of MBT gun launched laser guided ATM.
The Russian source further confirmed that according to the agreement signed in 1999 concerning the transfer of MBP3 IFV fire control system, China has already obtained latest BMP3M turrets, though the fire control system is still the earlier version.
The PLA was reported to have acquired a small number of the BMP-3 in 1997 for trial and evaluation. The PLA also purchased the fire control and associated missile laser guidance system technology on the BMP-3 from Russia to be used on its own IFV design.
From the photo it can be seen that the next-generation Chinese IFV features a turret similar to those on the modified BMP-3
The latest version adopts the upgraded version BMP3 turret.
China also is considering upgrading older Type 69 main battle tanks
with new fire-control systems, engines, turrets, and explosive reactive armor and designing a next-generation infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) incorporating the upgraded version of Russian BMP-3 turret technologies (including the fire-control system).
China revealed a new tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) that featured the gun and missile launching turret from the Russian BMP-3. It is a novel amphibious design which employs the combined 100mm and 30mm cannon turret of the Russian BMP-3 APC. Norinco says this new vehicle is now in production for the PLA, and that it will also co-produce the Russian BMP-3 turret.
According to an article published in Hong Kong "Wide Angle Lens" last year, BMP-3 turret was imported to be mounted on new generation Chinese IFV that would use existing Chinese chassis.

The Type 86, also known as WZ501, is a Chinese copy of the the Russian BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). China obtained several BMP-1s from the Middle East in the 1980s, and these vehicles were used as patterns for reverse engineering, which was known as Project WZ501. Later in 1986 the project received its approval certificate and the vehicle was officially named as Type 86.

let me tell you that the BMP-3M has a round turrnet. the BMP-3 is for airborne troops.
look at the picture i posted of the BMP-3. thats what a BMP-3M is

look like to poorly protected IFV
another copy product
and i soon going to revive
chines thread about copying
In the late 1990s reports out of Hong Kong media noted that since 1995 the PLA airborne force had been equipped with a paratroops combat vehicle, which ‘used to be exclusively owned by the Russian paratroops’. The vehicle was said to weight about 12 tonnes and uses large calibre gun and anti-tank missiles. Other reports also indicated that an unknown number of the Russian-made BMD-3 airborne combat vehicle was sold to China in the mid-1990s.
In late 2004 a new model of airborne combat vehicle was spotted in service with the PLA airborne force. The vehicle, which is possibily developed from the BMD-3, was seen in action during the PLA airborne force’s exercise.
Like the BMD-3, the vehicle also uses five pair of roadwheels.
In the BMD-3/new airborne combat vehicle the PLA airborne force
obtained significant increase in combat capability by providing the light infantry paratroopers with a respectable light-weight armoured fighting vehicle.
