Official cabin-product page states that widebody Business seats recline to a 180-degree flat bed, most narrowbody Business seats recline to 155 degrees, and Premium Class has dedicated space with 33-35 inch pitch.
Product-family claims are used only where the exact aircraft page does not publish a narrower specification; 'most' narrowbody seats is not treated as proof of a type-specific pitch.

Official FAQ says Shenzhen aircraft normally have two or three forward 2-2 premium/Business rows followed by 3-3 Economy, and that emergency-exit and aircraft-last-row seatbacks do not adjust.
This is a fleet-wide FAQ rather than a configuration-specific map. It supports general narrowbody geometry and conservative no-recline flags, not exact row numbers.
