Without better pics, it's not possible to say.  Maybe some of the guys who study Chinese swords will be able to comment.

Thanks Bruce; from my limited research there isn't much information circulating on Chinese swords of this period ( at least on the internet). I wonder if this might have to do with Mao's mass extermination campaign of weapons for his steel mill plan.

The sword depicted looks to have a European coat of arms on the crossguard.  Exactly why is it considered Chinese?

I do know a slightly similar design crossguard was used in WWII by the Japanese for the civilian/police.
