There is growing speculation that Russia is running low on its huge stocks of Soviet era tanks. There is also speculation that the Russian economy will be unable to generate replacements. If so, China would be virtually the only option for Russia to acquire new tanks. Obviously, in geopolitical terms it would be a major step for China to do this, and it would be impossble to conceal the fact they had done so.
For the purposes of this question, the Al-Khalid/MBT-2000 counts as a Chinese tank.
Resolves YES on conclusive photographic evidence.

Resolves as NO. All tanks destroyed in Ukraine are of Soviet or Russian origin, see https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html
There's no evidence at all that Russia ever fielded Chinese main battle tanks even though nowadays it seems to badly lack tanks.
