I would think that the M3 37mm would have been more common. 
Here is an interesting thread on the subject - http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=105386
i have no idea how accurate the info is...
I cannot find any reference to the 57mm or British 6lb gun in Chinese service.

Very helpful, thanks again! :)
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

I'd guess that much of what was supplied to China was not brand new or first line quality. As there was a 'Europe First' policy in any case as regards its own army, the US would have China pretty far down the list of priorities as for as equipment goes. Hence I'd guess they didn't get the 57mm.

I came across this, you might be intereted;
