Their new class is extremely small, though it does look well built. I would agree it probably runs well.

I think the Japanese subs, though non-nuclear, are much more dangerous to all Chinese vessels including their subs. I don’t view their non-nuclear status as being much of a handicap, given the job their sub fleet was likely built for.

Also, even though they have emasculated their warships to a degree, they have a history of seafaring far more robust than the Chinese. More experience of all kinds.
