If China is so outraged and innocent why is it selling submarines to Thailand (What's the threat to Thailand that it need these weapons?)
The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) is set to receive three Type 039B Yuan-class submarines from China at a total cost of US$1.1 billion.
The Deal now on hold as Thailand is broke however seems it now has an offer of Buy 2 get one free!!!!

PS from Wikipedia Type 39A Sub
Combat control systemsChina was known to have imported the Thales TSM 2233 ELEDONE / DSUV-22 and Thales TSM 2255 / DUUX-5 from France during the 1980s and early 1990s. It also has access to a wide range of modern Russian
sonar systems (MG-519 MOUSE ROAR, MGK-500 SHARK GILL) through its purchase of the
Kilo class. Comparable systems are expected to be copied for the Type 039A. It is likely to be fitted with a comparable surface/air search radar similar to the MRK-50 SNOOP TRAY, a commercial navigation radar like a
Furuno unit observed on a number of SONG class and ESM system is comparable to the Type 921A.
No wonder the French are upset they want to sell the stuff to both sides............................
