After the formation of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, the Soviet Union sent many T-34-85s to the PRC's People's Liberation Army (PLA). [[Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Corporation|Factory 617]] had the ability to produce every part of the T-34-85, and during decades of service many modifications were made that visibly distinguish the PRC T-34-85 from the original specification, but no T-34-85 was actually made in China. The production plan of the T-34-85 in China was ended soon after the PRC received [[T-54/T-55|T-54A]] main battle tanks from the Soviet Union and began to build the [[Type 59 tank|Type 59]] tank, a licensed production version of the T-54A.<ref>王立等主编：《当代中国的兵器工业》，当代中国出版社,1993年.</ref>
