I'm posting these pics for Dr. Mark.
The Chinese produced a milled Type 56 variant labled as a "M22" for export all over the world.
I don't know if they're still in production, but with the production of stamped 56's for decades, I kind of doubt it.
The only difference I see between the milled Type 56 in Chinese service and the M22 the lack of the integral spike bayonet on the M22.
The Chinese Polytech Legend, which were imported to the US in the mid to late 80's, are basically semi auto M22's.

These are Type 56's with the integral spike bayonet for comparison.
