Every military does this including the US and especially India why waste resources on “originality” when there are existing solutions.

Because being "original" is what only armchair generals care about
Why? Because many Chinese consumers still see European or Japanese design as a sign of luxury and quality. For mid tier brands that can't win on tech, sticking to that familiar look has become a very conservative strategy.
I doubt it's the luxury thing. I think it's more than it's just what some customers want, so that's what gets made. You don't see the Chinese using them much, especially when other original domestic brands are already high quality and have more users.
Also literally everybody forgot that China invented the modern chest rig that the Soviets, Americans, Rhodesians, South Africans etc would copy. The good old type 56 rig.
Alot of Americans say that it was the KMT that actually invented it but that is just copium because they forget that CCP and KMT were literally the same army as they used the same equipment and uniforms. Plus KMT abandoned it when they received US aid.

It seems to me that you're claiming the vehicle in F=XX Corsair's post is a copy of some non-Chinese vehicle. What non-Chinese vehicle is that?
If I understand correctly these are copies of enemy equipment to practice target identification?
Obviously they ideally are identical to the original.
His not talking about that, his talking about the G-Wagon
3 different types of drone/robotwolf based rifle unveiled.
The first one is a 6-rotor drone with a 3-axis gimbal stablized QBZ-191 rifle and 100-round drum magazine, firecontrol and flightcontrol are intergrated, accurately bullseye a chest silhouette from 200 meters.
The second one is a fully integrated rifle drone with moduler design that allows opration between 18.4mm shotgun and 9mm submachine gun.
The last one is an robotwolf based, urban warfare and sniping capable drone equipped with QBU-191 sharpshooter rifle and a ballistic computer.
I still think these are all bad ideas; cost-effectiveness is still very low.
But I'm more interested in the sights. If I remember correctly, these are all automatically electronically activated after locking on. We might see these sights in the hands of PLA infantry in a few years.
