Its most likely based on ZTQ15.

Some say it is China 4th Gen MBT prototype (thus not a light tank)
ZTQ15/VT-5 is classed as a Light weight MBT and this thing is also getting classified as MBT. So that could mean that its based on VT-5/ZTQ15. Also the shape and size of the hull is almost same as ZTQ15/VT5.
It doesn’t have the same hull shape as the ZTQ-15, i think its own independent project that we last year.
Note the similarities on the turret face.

Yes I think thats the most possible case as well. But since its not the only one…
wz1001 should be foldered with ztz99a

Type 59 with ZTZ 96 turret. Is this a training tank with a dummy turret?
Driver training vehicle. Note the windows on the turret.

This one would be a great choice in the CN TT. The ZTQ-15 has almost everything you can ask for a good tank: Great movility, good firepower and some protection. Maybe its main drawbacks are the tightly packed crew compartment and that it’s a Light Tank (althought that is reasonable since the ZTQ-15 is tasked as a Rapid response to threats on rough terrains)
There are currently no news of a Chinese 4th Gen MBT. The closest thing we have so far is a ZTZ99A armed with a 140 gun for testing purposes
