China blends East and West. Its low tiers lean on American Lend-Lease and captured vehicles, while the modern end brings domestic designs like the ZTZ96 and ZTZ99 MBTs and the J-7/J-8 jets.
The tree is eclectic, so China rewards knowing which lines are strong at each bracket. Done right, it fields some very capable lineups.

Moderate: an eclectic tree with some strong lineups, but you need to know which sub-lines to pursue.
Vehicle names are illustrative examples from this nation's tech tree, not a full roster — War Thunder has thousands of vehicles in total.
