#3 From a look at the Type 054 Frigate information available online it appears that our good buddies the Frogs sold a lot of their technology to the Chinese and licensed them to produce it in the 1980's. At least one site speculates that the Type 054s may be 1 generation behind the French or that they may have upgraded to 1990's criteria just as the French did.
The smart way to bet is that your opponent is at least as capable as you are. That way you're less likely to get surprised and hurt real bad when the abloon goes up.
