Chinese bombs 1925-1941

Can somebody bring details about Chinese bombs of the 1925-1941 period (in China the term "Interwar" can really not be applied to this period)
Beyond a few photos of Italian bombs and even French bombs, this chinese document raises the possibility of US Mk series bombs imported (or/and even produced) in China in this period.
However I must say that the weights indicated are puzzling (US Mk bombs ranged: 25lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs, 1100lbs, 2000lbs cylindrical, 4000lbs cylindrical, with as an addition the Navy 520lb Light case MkI and 550lb Heavy case Mk I)
