Can't see M1's being sent to China, but older M48's and M60's sure. 105mm guns should be sufficient to reinforce what China already had, the older tanks are cheaper and mostly out of service anyway, there's plenty of ammo and parts available, and you can cram more on the transport ships too.
Then there's the issue of sensitive electronics. Do you really want China getting their hands on the latest generation of range finders, etc? Even though the west was supporting China, they were still a communist country...
