oh, it's not mine, I got this one off twitter: https://xcancel.com/Type56AK47/status/2043594781763485736
apparently this is in Myanmar
Burma.
That's just the name in their local language.
In English it's China not Zhongguo and Japan not Nihon.
I used to have a Burmese buddy with the most unpronounceable name ever. Kyawswar.
not many people know this, but the PLA issues a different type of AK to each of China's recognized 56 ethnic groups
