Montford Point is the first of the Navy’s mobile landing platforms, built to support the seabasing concept. The main mission of the ship is to facilitate the transfer of military personnel, equipment, and cargo when port access is limited or unavailable. Utilizing its submersible midsection, the ship can adjust its relationship to the sea to allow for float-on/float-off operations.

Vessel 868 is seen transporting a Zubr class (Project 12322) LCAC in this official picture from the shipyard in charge of the building the vessel.

While vessel 868 may not be as large and advanced as the US Navy's Montford Point class MLP, it shows non the less that the China is increasing its amphibious assets at a rapid pace:

GXV-T Envisions Future Armored Ground Vehicles that Could Sprint, Dodge and Shield Their Way Out of Danger
https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2014-09-05

One of the key goals of DARPA's Ground X-Vehicle Technology (GXV-T) program is improving the survivability of ground-based armored fighting vehicles by increasing vehicle agility. Vehicle agility involves the ability to autonomously avoid incoming threats, either by rapidly moving out of the way or reconfiguring the vehicle so incoming threats have a low probability of hitting and penetrating—all without injuring the occupants in the process. This concept video illustrates three of many potential approaches: active repositioning of armor, burst acceleration and suspensions that would enable the vehicle to dodge.
