The AVIC TA-600 (AG-600) is designed to replace the Harbin Sh-5.

Amphibious means suited to both land and water.

An aircraft with a hydrodynamic hull is generally referred to as a flying boat.

A flying boat capable of land operations would be considered an amphibious flying boat.

Wheeled dollies temporarily attached to a flying boat used for the purposes of hauling the aircraft out of the water for maintenance purposes does not make for an amphibious flying boat.
