In 1930s, Chiang Kai-shek bought many M1930 and M1932 for his elite troops. Rumor saying that was advised by his German military advisor, who happened to be a C96 enthusiast and strongly recommended Mauser. Even had rumor saying that was recommended by von Seeckt himself. The gun itself was a little bit outdated in 1930's context, but its special features of wood stock and selective firing, still made it attractive at that time.
