According to the statement made by the Chinese Ministry of Defense, the delivery of the ZTQ-15 (aka VT-5) light tank to the Chinese navy continues.
The Marine Corps currently uses the ZTD-05A and ZBD-05 amphibious combat vehicles.
According to defense industry researchers in China, the newly arrived ZTQ-15 light tank will significantly increase the capabilities of the marines, thanks to its thicker armor and larger caliber guns.

The Vehicle’s main weapon can penetrate 500 mm Rolled Homogeneous Armor with its APFSDS-T ammo.
