Seems more like problems making the engine.
Is there a Chinese mil-rated counterpart which they could have ordered instead? If so, yeah, penny-wise, pound-foolish.
I personally don't know of any. The closest I could find were 5400kW-class diesels on the 054A and 056, and 1500kW-class diesels on their small minesweepers and 073 LSTs. The successful development in 2015/16 of the 3000kW-class diesel that was exported to Russia was lauded as filling in a significant gap in the Chinese marine propulsion catalogue. Given how recent this development was, I doubt they've had time to modify it to conform to military standards.

Is this for real?? The Russians are so broke, they bought civilian engines for their corvette?? I googled the model and got this:
Sold on Alibaba for $120-250K each depending on precise variant and order quantity, up to 2,000 per month can be ordered... They tried to use this for their corvette??
Unsurprising to see this finally emerge, assuming it is recent. One of the final lynchpins necessary for a successful Taiwan invasion, though a port would have to be taken first.20,000-ton RORO ship, 140m in length, 24.4m in beam, with 8 decks.

I thought this has been going on for some time They have STUFT(Ship taken up from trade) program Identifying and catalogue all possible transport ship and ferry, roro, ship to transport car etc
And they do exercise regularly with this civilian ships
In fact 2 or 3 years ago they change the ship building standard so that all transport ship must be able to carry military good
And Laioning, Tianjin and other coastal province will built special purpose Roro for military which this ship is all about
In time of war those ships will be requisition. And the goal of any amphibious operation is getting a port intact

Great example of military-civil integration.20,000-ton RORO ship, 140m in length, 24.4m in beam, with 8 decks.
