Yep! That's what they are called. I look at them more as national guards, though.
Well, when their official name is the "People's Armed Police force," that sounds like something much higher level than your typical town/city/or locality police.
Similar to the National Guard? Or, more likely something like the US Federal government Hostage team for the FBI perhaps.
The US Federal government has several paramilitary groups within the FBI, the BATF, Homeland Security, etc. who are rapid response, special weapons teams. They too look like regular military units.

The wording in chinese is a bit weird.
"The PLA has started using Type 05 strategic assault rifle for training".
战略 means "strategic". I think they meant "战术" which means "tactical" which would make much more sense as in:
"The PLA has started using Type 05 tactical assault rifle for training".
Unless I am mistaken what this new Type 05 assault rifle fires... maybe it fires nuke grenades then naming it "strategic" assault rifle wouldn't be out of place.

Someone explained at the tiexue board why it is called "strategic assault rifle":
"顾名思义， 战略步枪是射程为10000KM以上，子弹为100万吨以上TNT当量的核子弹。" =
"As the name suggested , strategic assault rifle has an effective firing range of more than 10000 km, with 1 megaton TNT equivalent nuclear warhead as bullets."
I guess that's why they need the fancy scope because they are aiming across the pacific ocean to fire their nuke bullets!
