- The Republic of China (中華民國), exiled in Taiwan, was a key US ally in East Asia during the later stages of the Cold War. Following the defeat in mainland China and Hainan during the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang and Republic of China were able to hold out in Taiwan. With the rest of China now part of the People’s Republic of China (中华人民共和国), the preservation of this strategic ally in the region meant that the Republic of China would receive large deliveries of American surplus equipment to build up the ROCA (中華民國陸軍/ Republic of China Army) and prevent a potential invasion attempt by the PLA (中国人民解放军/ People’s Liberation Army). However, the Republic of China was still late in receiving any of the more advanced US tanks, and had to rely on lighter M18s, M24s, and M41s for the first two decades of its exile on Taiwan. It was only in 1973 that the first M48A1 Patton tanks would be received by the ROCA. In 1975, the large Wan Cheng program was launched in order to repurpose and improve US vehicles. By that point, the United States had recently introduced the M48A5 tank for its National Guard units, and Taiwan attempted to replicate a similar upgrade on an M48A1; this would be called the Wan Cheng 4.

Could you guys do the cm 11 and the cm12 brave tiger?
Likely someday yes
Brave tiger pls. I find it interesting that the m48 based tank was better than the m60 based tank
I would like to see a video on the CM-11/12 program, as well as the Type 65
There are two pronunciations of word 乘
cheng means multiplication or ride(v.)
sheng means chariot
古时四马一车为一乘 A four horse drawn chariot means a sheng in acient times
Wan sheng symbolizes a powerful military force (wan 萬 means ten thousand）
all in all，in this case it should be wan sheng 4 .love your video😁
Yeah it's Sheng but the right pronunciations are for the devil
Viva La Taiwan !!!
I always get amased when good videos about asian tanks come out!
Thanks for your time and research!
will you guys do a independent video on the type 64?
it looks and sounds interesting
Original author here; Type 64 may be in the plans if we can get more sources on it, I am definitely interested in covering it.
@@marisacursedisame8413 cool, I'll be looking forward to seeing that
@@marisacursedisame8413 They scrap everything but leaves tons of baseline M41s around
The answer to 萬乘四 is obviously 40,000
How about a video about the V-150 armored vehicle. It was widely used by South Vietnam during the war and some countries still uses them.
I like the M48
I never knew how little suport Taiwan actualy got from the US.
China wasn't really that much of a threat to Taiwan until the US started supporting China with industry and US consumer dollars. Modern China was " made in America. " Anything they do is the fault of the US government and their global corporate masters.
@@MikeBrown-go1pc
Wrong. ROC in Taiwan continue to receive US military assistance. ROC also permitted trade & commerce with the PROC via joint venture with HK business enterprises.
Just wait a few weeks until China finally makes good on it's threats to invade Taiwan...
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 What does that have to do with US government creating modern China? Where am I wrong. 20 years ago, China was completely unable to even consider a successful invasion on Taiwan. Now, they have a damn good shot.
A beach landing or multiple beach landings will be difficult and getting enough men and equipment even more difficult, but with their new improved military made by US industry and US consumer dollars I'd bet on China in this one. They have a lot of decent air now. A lot
@@s.marcus3669 We'll just have to hope they don't because it could start some really bad stuff.
Patton kinda looks like a t55 but the turret is a bit taller and a mantlet
What kind of crack cocaine are YOU smoking, Phil?
@@s.marcus3669 from the side
Great video
AKA M48A1 in World of Tanks (Gasoline engline, high-profile cupola but with 105mm M68 gun).
The only M48's in World of Tanks are the A2 and A5.
@@larry-three8225 U must be new. Prior to patch 0.9.19 the top US medium was M48A1 with a god-awful 90mm stock gun.
@@qingyunwang3802 Oh, yeah. That was before my time. I joined Tanks in 2018 around the 1.0 patch.
@@qingyunwang3802 I still wish they'd made the M46 the tier 8 tank, M48 at tier 9, and M60 at tier 10. And make the M48A5 Instead of M60 be a clan wars reward. But that ship sailed years ago. Oh well.
Did they buy some M1 Abrams and receive them a few years ago?
Yes, we should start receiving them in 2022 if things go as planned.
@@Mustache_Sam We support Taiwan!
Ahh yes, the real and legitimate China.
I have my own One China policy, it’s RoC.
