  ABSTRACT: This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the manufacturing history of the modern 75 mm mountain howitzer in China, focusing on the assimilation of foreign technology. The industrialization of China commenced in the late 1870s under the influence of European technology, leading to the establishment of several arsenals for producing mountain howitzers. It is noteworthy that Northwest Industrial Corporation, as one of China’s major military enterprises before 1949, played a pivotal role in this historical process. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the machinery utilized in the production of Chinese 75 mm mountain howitzers, providing insight into the key characteristics of modern Chinese mountain howitzer manufacturing. This highlights the intricate developmental trajectory of China’s military industry during 1876-1949.
