Take out the Overlords with the Gat guns first. lots of Rocket men using Laserlock Also send that Humvee(s) full of rocket men to attack from behind, the turret on the overlords can not turn very fast.

Pretty good chance if you are playing against a China Tank General they will send these in as soon as they can build them and there lies the answer. I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm not) but they have to build a Propaganda Centre to get the Emperor, the build sequence is the same for China's Emperors as it is for USA Tomahawk Launchers, both sides have to build Power then Barracks then War Factory then their specific upgrade building, Propaganda or Strategy. I would suggest that you build asap the Strategy Centre as fast as they will be doing, pump out Tomahawks as soon as you can, you should match them unit for unit. The advice on Rocket Men with Laser is sound, as is the case for a rear Humvee attack once the Emperors get in. The Tomahawks move faster than the Emperors so you should be able to launch and move and stay out of harm. You can build the Humvees and Rocket Men while waiting for the Strategy Centre, if you build Patriots then there is a chance they will have the edge in tank numbers, your choice when you start. While your waiting for the Strategy Centre to build it would be worth pumping out a few tanks as Tank Generals will generally send in an ECM unit to throw missiles off course. Hold them out of harms way till the ECM's are attackable, dont head rush the Emperors as they will drive right over your smaller tanks if they haven't destroyed them already, send the ordinary tanks in against the ECM's to knock them out and then concentrate on the Emperors. If you've cleared the first rush then get the Patriots going for choke points. You didnt say what General you were playing as, if your super weapons then a couple of the EMP Patriots will work wonders on the Emperors, make sure you target all the Emperors one after the other to slow them down, let the Rocket Men and Tomahawks do their stuff then.
