Oh, btw am I the only one who got BDUs that felt like they were of poorer make? I mean the button holes were not properly cut and I had to do it manually with a pair of scissors before I could actually button up. There were fringes and it was single stitched in some areas. I could imagine soldiers in the field getting their BDUs ripped, since it might be cheaper to get a replacement...

To be honest I don't actually see a lot of soldiers wearing their 07 rig with their 07 BDUs. They'd wear type 02 or other woodland most of the time. Also, I see mostly rigs for sale, but not actual plate carriers or even vests.

Also, I've never seen any winter jackets in 07 camo pattern. Is it possible that they only wear the brown/desert one during winters? 07 series also doesn't have any snow camo, and the only white uniform is the old urban one worn by the flying tigers...

Edit: They do have 07 winter jackets lol

People's Armed Police is apart of the PLA, and SLCU is just a branch from them, so theoretically, they are apart of the PLA.

No, Armed police is not a part of PLA. I assume you can read Chinese? 80年代大裁军以后所有甲种部队保持建制，所有乙种部队脱离解放军的建制，成立武装警察部队。光从编制上就已经完全分开了。解放军归国防部管，武警由国务院和公安部管，武警的职能跟解放军不一样，武警专职边境安全和社会治安，解放军专职国防和战争。拿北京来说，卫戍部队是武警，他们的职能就跟以前的御林军一样，是用来勤皇保驾保卫国家领导人的，雪豹突击队也就相当于以前的大内高手。解放军是野战军，是对外的暴力机构，不直接参与安保工作。顺便说一句，国内的警务制度很大程度上是从解放军那里传承过来的，没有专门为武警和警察研制的装备，基本上是解放军用什么，武警和警察也用什么。所以很多人以为武警和解放军是一码事。

Interesting, very insteresting, well that is good to know

Lol I had to translate some simplified chinese characters back to traditional to read them. Even then I had to read each character individually. Oh wells, guess thats what happens when you stay in Canada for too long...

Ok, I need some help with the ranks. What rank do they correspond to? Are they all officer ranks?

these are the ranks for Army and 2nd artillery force， air force and navy use different background colour, also these patches can't fit on the old type bdu， they only fit in 07 BDU
1,second lieutenant
2, lieutenant
3, captain
4,major
5, lieutenant colonel
6, colonel
7,senior colonel or brigadier

Not sure how accurate, but this would probably give you a general idea...

Now we know the name of the knife.

Edit: Google turned up virtually 0 relevant results using that name, justified considering unlike the US army, PLA doesn't advertise its stuff =P

According to the pictures I found, the Chinese police also uses a type of crossdraw vest knock-off, except it's black
