You don't need the T-34, KVs or IS to prove Soviet armor superiority. The existing Japanese armor, such as the Type 89 and anti-tank weapons had already proven in the incident to be completely inferior to the Soviet BT-series tanks.
Although I was not talking about the existence of Japanese heavy industry at the time, I was talking about small-arms.

Enough of a threat for Japan to maintain more than half of their total army manpower in China. What people seldom recall is the fact that approximately half of Japan's total army casualties occurred in China.
