Now that the Chinese coast guard have become more capable is there any indication that it is taking over some of the brown and even green water patrol tasks of the navy ?

Here is a index of the Chinese Coast Guard Ships. It seems that the CG ships in China are slower than their Navy counterparts. Naval ships goes between 25 to 30 knots while most of the CG ships goes for about 19 to 20 knots unless they are ex navy ships. The index is from 2015.

The main weapon installed on Chinese Coast Guard ships is the NORINCO 30mm naval gun. But most of the ships seems to be unarmed.

China released what coast guard can do when the Malaysian flight disappeared

They also know the value after recent tensions in South China Sea

So coast guard now is getting lots of money and rightly so
