I assume they are broadly equivalent as far as inter-operable pecking order purposes are concerned, since that seems to how Brigadiers are treated. But the key difference being, Brigadier + Senior Colonel = senior field officer, whereas BG = junior general officer.

Currently in
PLA of China, the Senior Colonel is assigned to 1. the grade of division officers such as division commander and the division commissar; 2. the grade of vice-corp officers with the posts less than two years; 3, the grade of vice-division officers with the posts more than two years. Most technical officers (pilots, military medicals, military engineers etc.) can reach such rank before retire.

Colonel General comparison
The reference here to
Colonel Generals seems at variance with the information in that article (or at least to be confusing in that regard). Does China, for example, actually have them? In no case do they seem to be an equivalent rank to BG, so it seems problematic to say they "make up for" such a lack.

The rank of colonel general is a four star general in the prussien army (Generaloberst), one rank below field marshall. In the russian army it is a three star general.
