ในกรณีของโครงการเรือดำน้ำ S26T ของไทยนั้นนอกจากการสนับสนุนอะไหล่ระยะเวลา ๘ปี
จีนได้ปฏิเสธที่จะมอบเรือดำน้ำโจมตีดีเซล-ไฟฟ้าแบบให้เปล่าทั้งเรือดำน้ำชั้น Type
039A Yuan และเรือดำน้ำชั้น Type 039G Song
เพราะกองทัพเรือปลดปล่อยประชาชนจีนยังคงต้องใช้ประจำการอยู่
แต่จะเสนอขายเรือดำน้ำชั้น Type 035 Ming
ที่ปลดประจำการแล้วเช่นเดียวกับที่ส่งมอบให้บังคลาเทศและพม่า
โดยจะขายให้ไทยในราคามิตรภาพแต่ไม่รวมค่าอะไหล่การสนับสนุนและการฝึกที่ไทยต้องจ่ายเพิ่มเอง
ทำให้เห็นได้ว่าจีนเป็นชาติมหาอำนาจที่ไม่มีความจริงใจกับประเทศเล็กกว่าอย่างไทย
