Assuming that document truly belongs to you and that you retired in 2021, that is the same year in which Type 21 (based on the Type 19) combat uniforms, vests, and other equipment were first issued –– in the winter of 2021 to be precise. I think you simply missed out, and your information is obsolete. As for the QR code dog tags, they were first introduced on an experimental basis to select units in 2017. The new, standard issue dog tags with QR codes were introduced to all service members in late 2022, and you had already retired by then.

Retired does not mean that I have a contact with the army. I still keep in touch with my comrades who continue to serve. So far, they have not distributed any magic stickers or dog cards with personal QR codes.

If you went out of your way to take a picture.

Should also have added a paper slip with sinodefenceforum qiusiyu.

Anyways.
General spreading and arming/equipping of new stuff is pretty uneven, and also hard to track.

For specific stuff, either you or by78 could be right (or both be wrong, or both right).

Appears to be an ICW plate unfortunately tested without the backer. The lack of foam on the edge of the plate means it has edge-to-edge protection but it also lacked protective foam on the strike face which contributed to one cracking on the drop test. Sender mentioned it to be a GA6 rated plate.

Translated Text on the back read:
"When used in conjunction with the small and medium combat vests, it can defend against the 5.8mm steel-core bullets fired from the Chinese 95 rifle at a speed of (920+10) m/s from a distance of 15 meters.

Interestingly, the ceramic plate was monolithic (generally rarer in ballistic plates and on the more expensive side). Buffman "could see it stopping the GA6 threat" of 7.62x54mmr mild steel core with a 3a backer.

The new Chinese MREs just got released. It looks like a major improvement over the previous generation of MREs.


Funny enough, this was part of a double upload alongside the new US 2024 MRE. I never expected that some people in the comment section would prefer the new Chinese 2023 MRE over the US 2024 MRE but after fully watching it, I don't blame them.

Here for comparison;


Personal thoughts: I am amazed by the leap in quality of the Chinese MRE. Especially so for the noodles with sauce and the spicy fish. I agree with the criticism that it's lacking on the sweet side. Also, wished it had a bit more side dishes to go along with everything else. Excited for the next generation of Chinese MREs in the future.
