Look at all those beautiful T-72 clones. They make them look so much more modern with clean ERA tiles and slanted turrets.

here MBTs may be inferior to western MBTs as of now but infuture it will be equal.
not these tanks.
they like most of the PLA equipment right now is a stop gap.
The Chinese will have to start all over again for a western or future mbt.
preferably one with a separated ammo compartment and era becomes a option,
not a must.

They have inferior suspension to Russian tanks, engines, ERA, and inferior optics thanks to Catherine FC.

Both have torson bar, Chinese use 780-1200hp engines, rest is ok..
Chinese use inferior steel and proven they couldn't handle Russian exercise grounds. Chinese engines aren't good enough for Pak since they beg for Ukraine.
