YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Type-15 light weight tank could be used to quell growing internal domestic problems in China as well. In July 2022 there were reports that China had deployed PLA army tanks including the Type-15 against their own people to prevent their citizens from withdrawing their life savings from their banks.

The reason it seemed plausible was because since April this year there have been four major banks in China’s Henan Province that have frozen 1.5 billion dollars and lost hundreds of thousands of people's life savings. Now people are beginning to defy their government and are refusing to repay loans on apartments that they purchased that were never completed. Social credit score be damned! One reason this might be happening is fraud or because of bad real estate investments made by the banks. If China’s real estate bubble pops it could hurt the world economy.
This video of PLA tanks on the streets looking like they were deployed against their own people was shared over 50 thousand times on twitter and appeared to show the Type-15 tank intimidating people and stopping them from reaching their bank. And it’s true the Type-15 light tank would be perfect for this kind of riot control mission as a quick reaction force for emergency situations.
