The Type 88 (Chinese: 88式; pinyin: Bābā shì) is a series of second-generation main battle tanks (MBTs) from China. Based on the Type 79 design the Type 88 entered service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the 1980s. By 2003 it was estimated that no Type 88 MBTs remained in service with the PLA. The tank was followed by the Type 96 MBT.
