052C/052D Class Destroyers

"yours"? My country is not sending any warships to the Chinese coast.
I dont take any side in this, but nothing is help by this.

The moment your country sucked up to NATO, she became a tool in the US hard power arsenal. Did you really think you can enjoy the benefits of an alliance and only be viewed as a part of that alliance when it's convenient for you? Once you're in, you're in 24/7 and the entire alliance will be held accountable for the actions of any one member. If you don't want to take any sides then distance yourself from the alliance whose sole purpose is to screw with anyone the US doesn't like.

I doubt very much that will happen. The polititans say no to that, the people dont want in either.
The whole reason why we spend more time with other western countrys military is beacouse Russia/Putin is acting like a typical soviet bully.
But this is all off topic.

one view from the North Sea (I posted more in
PLAN breaking news, pics, & videos 8 minutes ago
and I wonder if at one point I'll remember the names EDIT with pennant numbers of Type 052D destroyers LOL now I know just DDG-172 "Kunming" for sure, checking ... 174 is "Hefei"):

comes from the tweet
Footage at first light of the Chinese Task Group passing the North Sea towards the Baltic region, escorted by HNLMS Van Amstel.

So all the rumor about Hefei experience shaft problem is not true
Yes DDG 174 is Hefei

Before you'll get a flood of 'likes' - it was Changsha, not Hefei...

saying "The Type 052D destroyer, Changsha, ... left Sunday from Sanya ... to ... Russia ..."

so in my post I pointed to the fact it wasn't "Changsha" which is coming;
I of course don't know what's happened, one of the possibilities would be that GlobalTimes article mistook "Changsha" for "Hefei"
