From what I gather the only tank they have that has any protection against Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical weapons is the T-72 which they imported from Russia. This tank has a radiation detection system and a NBC filtration system and overpressure system but going by this site's info the Chinese only have about 200 of them at this time(maybe a little more). I may be wrong because they simply dont mention anything about these kinds of capabilites in any of their other tank versions(which means they might have this capability as well).

I think they have these NBC tanks as well: T-54/55 (retrofitted with NBC?), T-63, T-69, T-80, and T-85, some of which are described at the website
Military Analysis Network
. (they have a search engine for their own site.)
Here is one of them: T-80 Tank Characteristics
