Two CIWS. One is eleven barrel gun system called H/PJ-11 aka type 1130 , another is short range 24 cell missile system called HQ-10 (can be reload at sea).

There is also soft kill option of 4 decoy/chauf launchers.

And the UVLS can be fitted with 3 or 4 short to medium range air defense missiles in each launch cell.

The Pakistani Type 054A/P also have these CIWS in place. I hope they too will be able to get an AESA upgrade in due time.
