The Z-8A variant is in limited service with the PLA, no one will miss them when they are gone. The improved B, K, S and J variants seem to enjoy a greater success with the Army, the Navy and the Air Force.

74th LH Brigade, 74h Group Army, to replace its Z-8 helicopters with Z-20
The PLA Army Aviation has not been happy with their Changhe Z-8A mainly due to its low performance, heavy maintenance overhead and worst of all, prone to stall at mid-air (here). After only 6 years of service the 76th LH Brigade is ready to rip-and-replace it with Z-20.
