And why is there still 59s in service with the PLA? Shouldn't these round-turret old dudes belong to museums or the Middle East?

Same reason why Israel keeps a bunch of really old tanks around. China used to expect an apocalyptic ground war with Russia, and the older tanks would work as mobile artillery for non-frontline troops.

Now that Russia isn’t a threat... it’s pretty much organizational inertia.

Nice picture but what are those four boxes on the right of the commander with the machinegun?
Perhaps a kind of aps? And what about the original laser self protection system behind the gunner?
Seems disappeared?

Sonic "weapons" only displayed and installed for parades.
