Re: China M-777 155mm LWG
If the Chinese think of export this first, and then press the improved version into their arsenal, then the question is who'd buy this and be their "guinea pig"? UFH's advantage is its heliborne capability and those who could field a helicopter fleet to make use of such would either be buying stuff from the West or make their own...even Singapore have make and field their own version of UFH.
After all, those who'd buy from China is either too poor to even buy Russian weapons or can't buy from the West...

Re: China M-777 155mm LWG
Kuwait and Saudi Arabian Army could be possible customs. Anyway Kuwait army has bought 45 piece of PLZ45 155mm howitzers, and Saudi Arabian army have bought 27 pieces. Iran have bought at least one battalion o f WAC21 155 howitzer. Then how about Thailand, their marine corp also bought 12 pieces of WAC21.
I believe Pakistani army would definitely interested in these howitzers. They need something to replace their obsolete M46/Type59 130 guns, which is not suitable for the mountain warfare. They are ordering chinese SH-1 155mm mounted howitzers, and it seems they are happy with it. And finally They do have some Mi17 to lift the chinese UFH.

SH-5 105mm gun
系统概况
SH5型105毫米榴弹炮是轻型、高机动的车载榴弹炮的典型，具有很高的战术机动性和战略机动性。它外形简洁、低矮，采用高性能的越野车辆底盘，系统重量轻、射程远、精度高、威力大，具有信息化和数字化能力。该炮在研制过程中突出解决了总体优化设计，车炮一体化和轻量化、高效能防护、射击稳定性、底盘四轮转向、火控与信息系统综合集成等多项关键技术。
SH5型105毫米车载榴弹炮战斗全重小于11吨，携弹量40发，具有在行进方向高低角零度射击功能，最大射速8发／分，最大射程达18.2千米(底排弹)。该炮采用6×6越野卡车底盘，发动机功率为160千瓦，最大公路行驶速度可达100千米／小时。底盘采用前后轴转向，转弯直径小于13米，并配有轮胎中央充放气系统。最小离地间隙大干400毫米，涉水深米，越野能力强。火炮的信息化程度高，行军／战斗转换时间小于45秒。
轻、快、猛、准、灵
火力打击猛SH5具有较强的火力打击能力，可发射MI榴弹、底凹弹或底排弹，可在高低0°～+70°、前向左右30°范围内射击。该炮配用弹种齐全，发射M1榴弹最大射程可达12千米，发射底凹弹时最大射程为15千米，发射底排弹时最大射程为18.2千米。
SH5 is light weight 105mm howitzer mounted light,high mobility 6x6 vehicle.weight just a total 11 ton, carry 40 rd. of shells, 8 rds./minute,max. range 18.2km (base bleed).conventional rd.-12km,
max. speed at 100km
the vechles also carry digital fire control system.

Hmm, Pakistan would be the reasonable "tester" of such weapon for the Chinese, though I wonder how much that'd still hold true in the current time...US is keen to get Pakistan under its banner - though how successful it'd be still undetermined - and one way to do so would be military aid; yet, disregard the Pakistani being sympathetic towards the Taliban, Pakistani should remember how the US screwed them over in this matter as well.
