no significant improvement, why bother.
There are many weapons to destroy main battle tank nowadays. Medium brigades also have heavy firepower which can confront heavy brigades as long as you have information superiority.

The firepower projection is the key, find the target, destroy it from any other platforms is the future I think.

96 will be replaced by main battle tank with only 2 crews.

something like the bmpt would be more suited to today's battlefields. The reality is China's only land war is against India and that's high in the mountains where the 96B would not be useful. China's military budget is limited and resources are better spent on high altitude, airborne, and amphibious platforms that would be more useful.
