That is probably for export, around 20k tonnes.
The Chinese navy I think would prefer a 40k tonnes variant.

I've been hearing the news for a long time and still waiting to see Z9 in Cambodia. (Some reality) Believe or not, the $195m will be written off some day in the future. That's the way Cambodian government always deal with foreign debt, especially from China.
Now you know why Cambodia is a stern supporter of China during the ASEAN summit....
