Would one Soviet cruiser change China's Pacific position?

Would transferring Chapayev to China just before the Sino-Soviet split change the Pacific force balance?

No significant change is expected from one cruiser; technical plans might offer additional value but would not transform the balance.

A hypothetical Soviet transfer of Chapayev shortly before the relationship with China breaks down is judged too small to alter the Pacific balance. The ship is initially described as a heavy cruiser, then corrected to a light cruiser with twelve 6-inch guns and about 11,000 tons displacement. Technical plans could offer additional value to China. Even with that addition, a single cruiser is expected to have little strategic effect.
