Or they just simply sold them for cash.
Remember that China was ripped by warlordism in 20′s.
We don’t even know what faction was owner of that tank.

I think it’s more likely a direct conversion of a Newton Cargo Carrier than the Studebaker Supply Tank. See how the side plating leaves parts of the drive and idler wheels exposed liked on a NCCwhereas on the SST those are fully covered. NCCs would have been in greater supply to share around too.

“Could have been the first documented indigenous tank conversion in China.”

And possibly the only one that was actually designed entirely by the Chinese (with exception of converting it from a tractor, but that’s excusable, as literally EVERYONE who developed their own tank rather than importing someone else’s converted a civilian machine as a basis for their first few attempts)

I doubt its the same because 1. the rear end is thinner and 2. the front lacies is mounted lower

A strong isolationist sentiment and the Peace Progressives’ increasing control of legislative direction in the 1920s made a mess out of American foreign policy of the period — even bigger than the mess we have right now, if you can believe it. However, due to American opposition to European imperialism under the Peace Progressives and the fact that the American government was the first to formally recognize Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalist government in 1927, it is entirely possible that the Studebaker prototypes were shipped to the Chinese as a goodwill gesture. Anglo-American relations weren’t exactly stellar during the 1920s, and there were several contingency plans within the US War Department to fight the British. Meanwhile, the Japanese were busy imitating European imperialism, which didn’t endear them to Washington. The implicit message in giving the Studebaker prototypes to the Chinese would have been: “Feel free to make copies of these and use them to kill British and Japanese.”

It would make a very interesting research project if I had the time, which I unfortunately do not.

It’s fascinating how information on things like this tank just disappeared, leaving only vague rumors about their fate.
