With Type 92 out of the picture as there's no airsoft variant to date, here's what I can find.

Although most firearms chambered in this caliber were declared obsolete and removed from military inventories, some Russian police and special forces units still use it for its superior penetration, rather than the more popular 9 mm Makarov ammunition in current use. 7.62 mm Tokarev rounds.

The TT-33 is still in service in the Chinese and North Korean armed forces today.

However, no mention is made regarding Chinese special forces. In addition, Wikipedia says one of Norinco's pistols, NP-58(p226 .40 cal clone) is in use. But there are no embedded citations supporting that claim. If I was arguing against TT-33, I would say there are more modern designs available such as NP-58 sporting more stopping power of the .40 round. On the other hand, If I was to argue for TT-33, I would cite the better penetration the 7.62mm has as well as the fact that it is a design that withstood the test of time.
And that's all the research I could come up with since I can't type Chinese and search Chinese sites.
My vote so far goes to Norinco by a slim margin
