The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly sent nearly 200 aircraft to the aerial area near the island of Taiwan for exercises in October, in a move that experts said on Monday has deterred Taiwan secessionist provocations and foreign interference attempts.
 
The KC-46 and KC-767 are both based on the 767, and KC-46 came from the KC-767 development. Basically the KC-767 was developed for the Japanese Defense Forces, and the Italian Air Force. When the USAF selected the KC-767 for its next tanker, it was designated the KC-46 by the USAF. The 46, however, is a new development and is slightly different. The Japanese placed orders for the 46 then as well.

There is obviously more to it, both politically and aircraft wise than that. What I posted is an over-simplification of it.

As long as they buy more of the plane, they can call it what they want.
