Lol, 105mm gun, 30mm auto cannon. What kind of enemy PLA from HK garrison fight? Alien cockroach with body of the Rock Johnson! Nope, just bunch of low life small brain coward cockroach get herd by some fatty old white trash. They just need some normal machine gun and that enough to keep cockroach in check.
The problem with the public relation efforts by the PLA HK garrison is that they are way too much of Chinese mindset. Very utilitarian and not flashy enough. A good example is that demonstration exercise a few years ago, it was a great demonstration for actual military people, but for the masses, there are not nearly enough bang and boom. This is disconcerting.
With today's technology, the original mission and doctrine of the PLA HK garrison is outdated. the PLA has more than enough army aviation (rotary aircrafts) capability to contain and restore order to HK by projecting PAP forces from outside of HK.
The HK garrison's location, in today's technological environment, does not really present a significant advantage over the option projecting PAP forces from outside of HK. So the force structure of the HK garrison should not be optimized for a lightly armed, PAP level of mechanization combined brigade. What the HK Garrison today should be, is a technological demonstration unit to present to the world a highly informationalized/digitized Medium to light combined armed PLA urban unit, armed with the domestic version of exportable equipment.
