Exchange the ROC and Thai TT will solve the problem, the Taiwan M1 and others western equipment stay in Japan while the PRC TT get the Thai VT-4. Problem solved.

Honestly I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Thailand also heavily relies on western equipment, with Chinese equipment being only a small part of what they have. Their relation to China is also mainly transactional, which shows best with China more extensively supporting Cambodia in the current conflict, simply because they have more significant financial ties.
This is not more relation than Thailand has with Japan, since they had a former military alliance and Thailand used a lot of Japanese equipment, including the only armed combat aircraft exported after WWII, the FB-25 Defender.
Sure, there is a connection between China and Thailand, but I don’t think it’s strong enough to justify moving an established subtree, something that would set a very bad precedent for the rest of the game.
Meanwhile ROC is the Republic of China, and the internationally recognized Chinese government until 1971, which is a significant part of the games timeframe. They also contribute about half of the entire techtrees content, mainly centered at the earlier tiers where there just isn’t enough Thai options to replace them, and especially Gaijin has only made a single Thai vehicle for, the SB2C-5.
I’d also say there’s no problem with a Chinese nation in the Chinese tree, so it seems a bit arbitrary to move it. This seems like an East / West Germany or North / South Korea situation, and should be treated the same way.
That said, this also means we need the ROC as a techtree customization option, just like we see with Germany in game.
