What do the Japanese know that we don't?
I've been waiting for advanced armor out of China for awhile now...could they have eyes on something that causes concern for them? The Type 10 is relatively new yet they're already looking at a replacement? Something strange is going on.

The appeal to the German side the small size and high mobility is a characteristic of the 10 Tank of GSDF state-of-the-art, to explore the possibility of joint development of the successor to the Type 90 and Leopard 2 in the future.Google Translate struggles with Japanese...as a matter of fact it handles Mandarin much better...but the gist of the article points to the Japanese and Germans working on the next gen MBT. Again, the translation is sketchy but it looks like they're going to do studies with the idea of joint development/production.
