This is the Type 093, not the Type 093G.

I'm curious, with Type 095, why they still need to build the Type 093G? What is the different between Type 095 and Type 093G?

Type095 maybe a radical design SSN which construction will be time consuming and perfecting it will take another amount of time. Type093G will be nicely fit in the time gap before type095 enter combat service status. PLAN is in urgent need of replacing very outdated type091 sub. Type093G may not be the best but far more reliable and capable than type091.
