Can type 52D modified to launch cruise missles in the future?

Why type 52D need modify to launch cruise missile ?
All naval missile is design to fit specification of VLS, means dimension.
for China main issue is can't make small missile compare to US/Euro arm maker,
but believe China arm company is keep R & D future will see more smaller missile with same performance.
Example CJ-10 Cruise missile long 8.3 meter only can fit in 9 meter VLS, china can RnD small version CJ-10
or China should develop new cruise missile with 6.5 meter so can fit int 52D VLS (7 meter version).
compare to Tomahawk 6.25 meter and MdCN 6.5 meter long.

Will this configuration for export?

should no issue for Export.
But basically not much country navy have budget enough to buy/operate destroyer. some is geographic issue so no need destroyer.
 
So, will PLAN eventually go with this "New" class DDG, something to fill in between the Type 052 series and Type 055 DDG? Think there's some significant cost gap with Type 055 to pursue this way...

When will be the kick-off estimation? This year or in the first half of 2018?

Btw there are many kinds of variations within the PLA arsenals, be it the Navy, AF, RF, etc :D:lol: each for its own designation... not easy to grasp for the external parties
