Seems like the Chinese found a way to work around the Obscene Articles Tribunal.
There are at least two Chinese automobile manufacturers building Humvee copies, possibly with the assistance of AM General. Both Humvee copies rely heavily on imported U.S.-made parts including chassis, gear box, and diesel engine. It appears that at least one company, Dongfeng Motor Corporation (DFM), has the full consent and cooperation of AM General. Both manufacturers claimed that they will be able to gradually increase the percentage of indigenously made content on the vehicles in the future, since the PLA is unlikely willing to accept any equipment that relies largely on foreign made parts.

The wiki page is wrong
The PLA currently deploy Humvee in great numbers, especially in Chengdu and Tibet as specialized variants.Both manufacturers claimed that they will be able to gradually increase the percentage of indigenously made content on the vehicles in the future, since the PLA is unlikely willing to accept any equipment that relies largely on foreign made parts.

yes it is a type 96 without the ERA tiles. double return rollers and a single wheel guide roller are type 96 standard and the gun is a 125mm smooth bore based on the bore evacuator.
Also, seems the Chinese haven't figured out camoflauge yet.... everyone knows camo is mixing colors. Here are some examples of effective camo, blonde and brunette, blonde, brunette and red, white Asian and African.... you have to mix colors for good camo
looks like some poor trigger discipline/firearm safety in the second pic, lol.
The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"
