The Chinese tiger is closer to the original tiger population of the pre-Toba eruption era, but keep in mind that they were also intermixing with both Amur and Bengal for thousands of years. So the original archaic features of the Wanhsien tiger could be diluted in process.

Also, P. youngi is probably the synonym of the Wanhsien tiger, and many modern scientists did not recognize it as a valid species, but either a tiger or a leopard. By judging its size, it is definitely more likely being a tiger.
