Most impressive.
I see the Chinese are calling it a Cruiser.
If this were a western ship it would be a "corvette" or some such nonsense to please the handwringers in the legislatures.
"Frigate" sounds less expensive and scary than "Cruiser" or "Battlecruiser".

At 10,000 tons, we’d call it a destroyer.
