Augmented reality goggles. I don't remember seeing this particular model before.

More information on these AR goggles. They are part of an intelligent control system for directing multiple UAVs, UGVs, and loitering attack munitions. The system is developed by the PLA's Academy of Military Sciences and also includes smart helmets, smart foregrips, and smart gloves.

Here you see a soldier using the smart glove to direct a drone to tie a rope around a tree in order to assist in crossing a river:

Whats this? Like an ACOG

Looks to be The Sig Sauer Tango-MSR LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic). 1-6X24MM

I doubt it is a off brand copy or clone. The Sig optic is question retails for about $250 USD, and belong on the low end of of the spectrum as far as LPVO offerings. Not worth counterfeiting at all.

For comparison. A EOTech VUDU Optic, 1-10X28MM FFP retails for around $1800USD.

A Vortex Optic Razer HD GEN III 1-10X24MM FFP retails for a wopping $2800 USD.

Btw. The picture in question is a screencap of a ad from a "tactical gear" seller, aimed towards the airsoft crowd. I would not be surprised if the rifle in picture is just a replica.

I haven't seen this particular vest before. Note the plastic hinge/wire guide (?) on the soldier's left side.

Definitely a revision of the Type-21 pattern but with a tubular quick release and reworked flap facing inwards instead of towards the shoulder. Wouldn't be surprised if the changes come from a mix of criticism of the original quick release pull-cord system when doffing the carrier and praise coming from similar features on the PLANs maritime carrier. Not a huge textile/component change so wouldn't be that costly to move to a Gen 2 carrier for wider issuance if this isn't just a prototype in field testing.
