Look at both tank's armor and you will see the difference. Although they look same, there's a little bit difference. Kaplan looks like an IFV with turret.
According FNSS CEO, the MMWT provides ballistic and mine protection Level 4 (STANAG 4569) firing of small arms 14.5 mm AP caliber on 360°, 155mm shell splinter at 30 m and mine explosion of 10 kg TNT under the track and the floor. It can be fitted with add-on armour to increase protection to Level 5 (STANAG 4569) protection against 25mm APDS-T (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot - Tracer) ammunition.
The VT5 can be fitted with two different armor configurations. The hull and the turret of the VT5 is made with all-welded steel armour which provides stand protection against firing of small arms and shell splinters. To increase the protection, the VT5 can be equipped with advanced composite armour and/or explosive reactive armour (ERA). At AirShow China 2016, the VT5 was also fitted with slat armour (wire cage armour) on the turret sides and either side of the hull to increase protection against rocket-propelled grenades (RPG) and anti-tank guided missiles.

Both tanks have similar specification. But the possible reason for VT-5 to win the tender could be the more powerful engine pack, RWS and 40mm grenade launcher. It can be fitted with an APS too. Besides all of our tanks are Chinese.
@Michael Corleone might be able to explain better.
And Type-59 is an MBT which had originally 36 ton weight until it's been upgraded with new wielded turret, gun, armor etc.

And what gave you the impression army will never go for beach landing to push enemy inside their territory as counter-attack?
