Just read an article () on 81.cn about border guards (护边员) and in it, qutoes
On the other hand, I know next to nothing about things like border control, how do militias like l the Border Guard we're talking about gets information about potential situations? through surveillance equipment? Or just patrolling around? Do we have any previous examples to learn from? Like in the Middle East? I heard that the border war between Hezbollah and Israel has been very hot for the past few decades. Or do we know if there is a similar system to the Chinese border system?
PS： I did some research on the border guards and it turns out they are belonged and employed by the local police border department
But they are neither policemen nor auxiliary policemen, their title is simply "Border Guards"
So apparently there are two parts to China's border control system, one‘s’ the border guards who belong to the PLA and the one are not, which is also in the article it cites
In these sections we can conclude that the border guards (not the PLA) will be reaching farther than the PLA's border troops, as they play the eyes of them and to suspicions, then PLA will play a role in the quick reaction force to respond to any reports, but do we know if the PLA themself conducts any basic patrols on a regular basis? of course, the answer is yes, but to what extent? I expects pla or pap will take over the border guard (none pla) role in harsh environments, but what about the areas where the Border Guard is present? We have evidence that the PLA will check them on a monthly basis, but again, in what extent? How many areas does one border guard is in charge of? if it's small, then there's literally no point on deploying them, because in the same evidence, I remember checking on the border guards is just part of the patrol mission, which means they still have to do the patrols themselves, but it didn't shows how often or how many distances the patrol covers, so, it's still pretty hard to tell.
