Note These PAP used M4 carbines and Sig550 series weapons these were likely supplied onsite. Addtionally note the camo pattern worn. it's not the regular stuff. Also these guys are not wearing the Regular issue those Shirts look like western combat shirts and Eye pro.

China sent two teams, the PAP team and a PLA 'Snow Leopard' team. They took first and second place, with the Canadians coming in third.
It is interesting that the German GSG9 team, which won last year's event did not take part this year. But still, when you look at the teams that did take part, taking the top two spots is a very impressive achievement.
It is noteworthy that this previously unknown PAP unit managed to beat the more famous Snow Leopards, who were the on-call guys for the Beijing Olympics security. I wonder if the use of foreign weapons had anything to do with it. The PAP seems to have more funding and leeway to buy and use foreign small arms and accessories, and if these guys were the PAP's top pick, chances are they would have had plenty of opportunity to play with foreign kit before the event. The PLA is more strict in only letting its troops use standard issue weapons and gear, so I wonder if that might have skewed things a little in terms of head-to-head between the two Chinese teams.
