Why no China?

My ex is from Shenyang up in the north east not too far from the NK border. She was one of the few who could speak English mainly due to her father who before retiring had been a local government official responsible for most communications with English speakers.
My understanding from her is the further you get from Hong Kong, the fewer English speakers, and those that can have reduced fluency.

I've been trying to think of reasons why Israel would not sell T-55s, etc to China and honestly I can't really think of too many besides them perhaps wanting to keep them for their own forces. That said, I understand they've got quite a few anyway and have been gradually replacing them with better machines, refurbishing and flogging the old stuff off to Africa or whoever stumps up the cash.
Pretty sure there's no mention anywhere in the books of them supplying anyone throughout the war(s), but also hasn't been ruled out.

Isreal sells our restricted stuff to China, why not the T55's

It would probably cost more to ship a T-55 from Israel than it would to make one

Yeah, I was thinking shipping costs might be an issue along with transport availability, but this is all happening before the action in Europe kicks off, so that shouldn't really be a problem, especially since there's obviously the capability to send heavy equipment by sea to places like Africa (can't imagine Israel's neighbours would be very happy about allowing land transport).
The big sticking point I think is probably just how many tanks the Israeli's have in the parking lot in 1995 and whether or not they're thinking they might need them themselves. Other than that, not really seeing any significant reasons not to sell to China (they're certainly not giving them away!).
