Sorry to sound cynical but why is he PLA so reluctant to issue rifle accessories?? These are the special forces already and apart from their new helmet they look no different from ordinary troops (note the lack of combat gloves, elbow and knee pads, so on and so forth)

trust me theyre better off without the rifle accessories available to them...

That's a pretty low position for holster.

Note the Mengsi vehicle behind them. It could be they are wearing the holsters there because they are mounted infantry, and it’s certainly easier/quicker to draw a gun holstered there from a seated position compared to the standard holster placement.

To be honest I don't see the advantage of fancy scopes in what look like short barrel rifles to me.
But yeah basic things like gloves should be widely available particularly for the guys in mountainous or cold regions.

The new kits are filtering down to Army, Airborne, and air defense units.
