Thanks, Alfred. Had to check the manual again. Page 178 says this: If a friendly base is in a hex with a Command HQ, the base will attempt to stockpile 25,000 extra supplies. This is in addition to whatever supplies would normally try to move to the base to meet current and expected supply needs of the forces in the hex or any additional supply drawn forward by the manual stockpile routine.(END QUOTE) The thing is, Chungking with its Chinese command HQ, was having 21-22,000 supplies for several turns in December 1941, giving daily replacement to its LCUs, when, surprisingly, the supplies dropped to 13,000 supplies,and LCU screens switched to "replacements delayed 3 days". So it seems to me the base can still export supplies even though the command HQ tells the base to collect 25,000 supplies in Chungking. After the unexpected supply outflow, which was probably a weekly automated push of supplies throughout China, I changed the supply required in Chungking to 8000+, so the base has to gather 24,000 supplies at all times. The outflows then stopped. EDIT: Found the answer. The starting units in Chungking want 3700 supplies, thus the base tries to gather around 12,000 supplies. Count the added replacements in December 1941 and the gathered amount easily fits the arbitrary number of 13,000 supplies in my example. Thus, even though a base with a command HQ tries to gather 25,000 supplies as per the manual, it exports supplies based on the "real" need of units sitting in the base, which is 13,000 supplies in my example. Thus, in order to be sure you actually have the 20k or 25k supplies in the base at all times, you need to set the base's supply need to 7000+ or 8000+.
