Chinese power armor

Chinese power armor was China's attempt to replicate technological advancements made by the United States of America in the field of powered infantry armor, and remain competitive against the opposing suits. The development was prompted by the arrival of the first West Tek production model of powered combat infantry armor (designated T-45) in early 2067 was a shock to Chinese military planners and the People's Liberation Army. The communists rushed to create their own version, but they were years behind the United States. Despite that, the United States military invested in the development of electromagnetic weapons to counter the threat of Chinese power armor in the event of its deployment.

The Chinese focused primarily on countering American power armor through the use of stealth armor, rather than brute force. As a result, Chinese power armor remained a rare curiosity. Even among Chinese operatives on American soil, captured American suits (such as T-60 power armor) took preference, rather than their own designs.
