Nope..China does not have the logistical capablity to continuly deploy ships away from China. I believe it's most recent "deployment" was two years ago to the Philippines, Hawaii, US & Canada. A short jaunt of 2 months or so.

We had a thread about that particular deployment.

Will the PLAN support/protect PRC flagged vessels in the Gulf of Aden? That's the big question. Only time will tell. Logistics will be the big problem.
