How does other countries unifroms affect PLA uniforms? Do you mean that the PLA copies the camo of other nations? So every time another nation makes a new uniform, the PLA scrap their old ones and copy the new one of the other country?
I think ( hope) what he meant was that when another army comes up with a new camo uniform that has features that look good it's likely that the home army will try to work them in to there uniforms. just look at

might be meant for activity in a darker enviroment like a night landing and it does seem to do Camo's true Job. Breaking up the human form.

I dont think any cammo could be used in an urban environment. Even black, gray, and white wouldn't work, since there are so many different colors in cities.
Mostly true In an urban, However Camouflage is not really meant to make you invisible, it's true aim is to break up the human shape. Via using Randomized variations of color the eye gets confused and If you are trying to aim Camo can make you think your target is closer or farther, going left when there going right and at night it can really trick the mind into confusing a Man aiming at you for a tree. The reason we chose colors for camo is to help break up the shape of a human even more in the hopes that it will really trick the eye into near invisibility that is also why snipers wear Bush suits.
here is an
of how camo works. Zebra are one of the most lovely animals in the world. but there choice of dress is not a accident. Zebra's primary predators are Cats ( BIG FREAKEN CATS!!). Cats are smart and good predators with wonderful night vision but that night vision comes at a price, they are color blind. So when a lion sneaking up on Zebra looks to try and determine the strength of the herd all he sees is a moving striped blob. he can't pick out individuals he can't tell a Rear from a head. True Zebra do get caught but those tend to be the ones who moved away from the Herd and the lion could see it was all by it's self.
