Oh god. I can already imagine this being reposted on NCD and the autistic comments that will arise.

I'm pretty sure that's not an official patch. You can buy it on Taobao for 128 yuan, or $18.95. There are lots of cosplay military-themed patches on offer for just about any branch of the military can think of.
what is 100 man commando? some sort of SAS/delta type?
Sorry If I sound pedantic but the 15th Airborne Corps is now just the PLA Air Force Airborne Corps. As for the air assault unit, it was established in 2018:
For the patch, its just a LARP patch that's trying to sound cool. As for the 100 man commando, based on some research, they seem to be the nickname of a group that is comprised of the top 100 spec ops soldiers in a special operations brigade. So it is more of a title than an actual independent unit (which would have been cringe in my opinion).
Ok to sort out the confusion and your misinformation it is not an official patch correct but it is not mainstreamed for cosplayers or airsoft kids, the patch has been already replicated by non officials which has a different quality and material.
Judging by his statement the patch is solely made for people with Military Field Experience, Tactics Capabilities and Military Tactics School/Course that promotes Special Force tactics and training. Similar to American Special Force Veterans who has their own brands and promotes their training.
Although it is sort of obvious this is not the sort of symbolism and representation PLA wants as it does not align with their nationality since they do not want to promote demonic or scary beings for their army they stand for peace and loyalty. Which is different from the west.
But in this case we could say this is the punisher skull sort of situation where independent allowance doesn't limit soldier from wearing Insignias that expresses them except as of nowdays generation of course.

Think I posted some PLA HK garrison open house pictures years ago, and some should sport the shell collector setup.
