They were actually supplied DURING the war to the Eastern Group Supply Council, who in turn supplied them to the Nationalist Chinese forces under Chiang Kai Chek. As we know, after they had dealt with the Japanese, the Nationalists and Communists got stuck into each other, with the Nationalists fleeing WITHOUT their equipment to the island of Formosa to form the Chinese Republic of Taiwan. If any survived the fighting during the Civil war, they were abandoned to the Communists on the Mainland. None appear to be in any Chinese Museums, so it would seem they were scrapped.
