yes, the first visit of Chinese warships in Poland "ever" (I don't know about pre-WW2 times); they arrived October 7 -- 66 years after diplomatic relations were established between the two countries (I don't think this was a coincidence

the program included a soccer game played by Chinese and Polish Sailors (on Friday), and you could tour DDG-152 "Yinan" (yesterday between 0830 - 1630; I'll post about FFG-548 "Yiyang" in Type054A Thread in a minute)

the Chinese also visited the monument commemorating

they will leave today

I am just wondering if that's a sea-launched cruise missile, or YJ-18/100.

That looks like HHQ-9 tube. The earlier one looks like a torpedo.
