Would another navy buy old Chinese frigates?

Could the older Chinese frigates be sold to another navy?

Possibly, but hard use and age make them an unattractive purchase with a risk of poor availability.

A buyer might emerge for an elderly Chinese frigate, though the prospect seems doubtful after around 35 years of hard use. A purchase could leave its new owner with a ship spending much of its time in harbour. Keeping the vessel useful after acquisition could prove a greater burden than finding one to buy.
