Historical information (in English):
As relations between the USSR and the PRC deteriorated at the end of 1959, the PRC leadership realized the risk of being left without Soviet scientific and technical assistance in the field of armored vehicles. It was decided to develop an alternative medium tank based on the proven Type-59 base using technologies and solutions from other sources.
