Depends on what you mean by a modern tank engagement. Chinese tanks saw extensive action in the 79 Sin-VN War though as inf support and more than a few was on the wrong end of an RPG.
Chinese and VN tanks did saw action against one another though more of a one-on-one type deal and never en mass.
The PLA held a tank reserve against the Red Army during the Cold War. Their concept was to be the decisive force when the Red Army got exhausted over a stretched LOC.
So, yes, China is more experienced than Japan but nowhere near the Russians or the West.
