Apparently they’re field testing (or just using) something that translates roughly to “pain-experiencer”, and those pads may be part of the apparatus, using electricity to let the user feel pain when activated. From my understanding they’re used to provide some degree of pain when one’s deemed injured or killed in an exercise. The goal is to add some additional realism to the experience

edit: in post #3835 there’s a picture of this apparatus in use. You can see a white pad on the soldier’s forearm, quite similar to what we see on the calf of the soldier in post #3840

So, on Twitter, I found the post with a video that shows the spec ops soldiers' exercise:

And I found more of those pads:

And according to an interview with one of those soldiers at around the middle part of the video and the picture that was posted before (I couldn't believe I missed that caption lol), he said that their arm spasmed and that their upper body felt pain. Logically, he is most likely referring to the "pain" caused by the pads which were activated via the MILES-like receiver. This is extremely interesting and important since this shows that the Chinese are overhauling their training, which, Im sure we already know at this point, is extremely important for high performance in combat.

Inside the chest pockets of the new combat uniforms are small inner pockets.

Not to deviate too much from topic but a similar, cruder concept has been in use with PLAAF for at least two years. According to Yankee's podcast, some PLAAF pilots are indifferent about being "shot down" during aerial exercises so a large buzzer has been added to the pilot's seat. When a kill has been scored, it would make a loud explosion sound and vibrate, jolting the pilot in the process. This has gotten said pilots to treat training kills a lot more seriously.
