Hi another foreseeable environment in future for more procurement can be related with CEPEC specially fully operational Gawadar port & then to take in & out cargo related duties will include more Naval role
beside that Indian/USA/ and to some extent even Australian are putting pressure toward Chinese naval ships it will be in the best interest of China to ward that pressure off from their back to some extent while strengthening the PN to roam around itself with more confidence building measures
thank you
