Theoretically the electronics could be modified for elint but then it wouldn't perform the space tracking well, if at all, anymore.

Not modify. Remove. The two tasks are very different animals.

This is how a spy ship should look like.

That rag article rises to the level of malevolent dishonesty, to be perfectly honest. Giving it space on SDF is giving it exposure it doesn't deserve.

Missing the earlier 053Hx series frigates. No reason to exclude them if the smaller 056s are included.

Well, I guess the 051s are missing as well. And the 022s.

The title of the pictures is "the navy's modern main surface warships". So they drew the line where they did for a reason

i took the second of those pictures (2019) and highlighted the ones present only in the first (2009), I think it shows the scale of the expansion of the surface force much clearer

Another way to look at it, the backbones of PLAN's modern surface combat ships: carriers, 055's, 052D, 054A, 071, were basically non-existent in 2009. It's almost saying that a large, modern navy has been created from scratch within a decade.
