The Sino-Soviet relationship was warming up right before WWII and the Soviets had started supporting China armour-wise in around 1938 after the German advisors left at the request of their allies Japan.
The Chinese government (then Nationalist China) largely utilised light and medium tanks from Soviet Russia against the Japanese invasion for the most part of the duration of the war until the signing of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact in 1941. As Soviet support dwindled, China looked to the USA for support and the United States then supplied China with American light, medium, and the Hellcat tank destroyer tanks under the United States Military Assistance Program between 1943 and 1944.
As the current Chinese research tree only researches Japanese tanks, this may not be historically accurate.
My suggestion would be to change the research tree for the Chinese region to the Soviet tank line as the majority of tanks used by China at that time were Soviet. Thanks!
Kind regards,

The armament of China during the second world war was mainly Soviet or American.

I would support a change of the Chinese tech tree from Japanese to Soviet.

China is not a nation in the game, China is divided into various fictitious Nations. Furthermore, during the second world war, China have a civil war where there were two sides with different armament.

Then all Chinese splinter nations should get Soviet or American gear. Unless, of course, you propose giving the British and French some German gear too.
