Chinese are working on a modular HIFV which is at least at the prototype stage.
Probably a tech demo jointly funded by NORINCO and the PLA(N) to try out the HIFV concept to see if it can be made to work with PLA(N) doctrine.

The China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO Group) is developing a new heavy infantry fighting vehicle based on tank chassis.
The new Chinese heavy infantry fighting vehicle has modular armor with add-on armor modules. So protection level can be tailored to counter specific threats or to suit mission requirements. The mobility and protection of the vehicle is comparable to the latest VT-5 tanks.
The new fighting vehicle also fitted with a turret that is armed with a 30 mm gun. The new IFV is fitted with an unmanned turret armed with one 30mm automatic cannon. The turret has panoramic sighting system and integrated gun-and-fire control system.
