This video from Cappy Army discusses how the Russians and the Chinese are developing 6.8mm rounds for combat rifles, with both apparently aimed at developing rounds capable of penetrating body armor. He notes that the Russians already have issues with this because most Ukrainians soldiers have body armor. The Russian cartridge will feature a tungsten-steel penetrator intended to not only defeat body armor, but also light vehicle armor. It is also supposed to offer substantial improvements in range over current or past military rounds.
The Chinese round appears to be a near copy of the U.S. 6.8x51mm, except that the case is 1mm shorter. Not much on it, but what little there is suggests that their focus is on defeating U.S. body armor.
