The PLAN does have a number of Shkvals, but their Kilo's can't use them (unless they have been modified since the Russians built them). As for their home built subs who knows. Also only PLAAF jets and the PLAN's Sovermenny class DDGs can use N-22 Sunburn missiles since they are way to large for torpedo tube launch. However the PLAN does have a number of N-27 Alfa ASMs which are quite dangrous, they are launched from Kilo Improved class subs. PLAN SSNs and SSKs (Han, Song, Yuan, and a Single Ming) do have the capablity to launch C-802 missiles from torpedo tubes (or in the case of that Ming dedcated launch tubes like on an Echo SSGN), the C-802 is the equivlent of an Exocet missile.
