do I look like I care enough to keep an inventory of what goes into Chinese ships? I do know China has access to dual use technology. Just because a ship is built in a Chinese ship yard doesn't mean it's fully indigenous. Of course the opposite is also true, but based on what I know about 'made in china' commercial ships and Chinese defense exports I can assume there is some foreign content.
Type 052D destroyers are equipped with a combined diesel or gas (CODOG) propulsion system integrating two QC-280 gas turbines and two MTU 20V 956TB92 diesel engines.
The Luyang-III-class, Type 052D, guided-missile destroyers are built by JNCX and DSIC for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).

OK. Let me take it as an example.
Among China's warships in active service, there are nine warships of the six models 051B, 051C, 052, 052B, 053H and 054. They do have a large number of technologies and components from Russia and Western countries. However, these nine warships were all commissioned before 2004 and are ready to be sold or retired. Their models have all been discontinued long ago.
Starting from 052C, all warship models, including 002, 003, 004, 055, 052C, 052D, 054A, 075, 076, 071, 072A and other latest models of warships, all use Chinese made parts.
However, the type 056 light frigates exported from China to Bangladesh, Thailand, Egypt, Nigeria, Albania and other countries use the 16PA6V280 civil diesel engine produced by China shanchai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. authorized by French SEMT PIELSTICK. And the 056 of the Chinese Navy uses Chinese made military engines.
The German media also said that the 052C/D used MTU's diesel engines, which is also wrong. The gas turbine used in the 052C/D came from China and copied the DA80 from Ukraine. However, 052 and 052B do use MTU-20 v956tb92 diesel engines, but these two destroyers will be retired soon.
As for 052D, it uses Chinese made GT-25000 gas turbine. The news in the German media is wrong.
When China provides 052D to the Nigerian military, Nigerians are allowed to choose to use GT-25000 or MTU-20 v956tb92.
In fact, MTU-20 v956tb92 was only used in China's early 052B warships, which belonged to a lower class.
