An interesting QBU88 mod. About time they did something about the location of the bipod.
Some more images of that QBU88 mod.

SWAT firearms: Type-79 submachine gun, modded QBZ-95-1s, modded QBU88s, and the previously seen pistol conversion kit.
Sometimes I wonder who organizes the training and procurement pipeline for the PAP guys, as it surely would be someone in the CMC who approves it all.
So it must be a conscious decision to outfit and train the PAP for these purposes, but not elements of the PLA like SOF.
Well, based on the photos that are released to the public, the majority of PAP officers are also not as well equipped as the SWAT officers in the pics you are referencing to. Generally speaking, despite the massive overhaul of the infantry’s individual equipment, the PLA and PAP, particularly the former, aren’t obsessed with their SOF and infantry looking tacticool as long as they can get the job done.

Yes, the above pictures depict SWAT.
The pictures however did make me think about how PAP SOF are often similarly equipped and also better equipped than their PLA SOF counterparts, leading to my wondering.
Certain things like headsets and hearing protection, FAST style helmets, red dots and magnifiers and IR lasers, load bearing vests with plates, and also zip ties and glowsticks, if demonstrably available, are at least indicative that they are intended to be used and can reasonably be assumed to be used in a competent manner.
Some of those things may not be as important to PLA SOF (like zip ties), but many others are.
