Honestly, China needs tier 1 SF units with access to this sort of stuff. I get that there's a lot of SF units in the PLA rn, but I think they're perfectly capable of equipping a few, starting off, with advanced equipment like this

The history of war, including the current war in Ukraine, is filled with stories of elite units being good for nothing. I am kinda happy the recent GWOT special ops bloat of NATO forces didn't happen with the PLA. Special forces definitely have their place as some missions do require special skills. But the need is limited. You can easily end up stripping regular infantry of good soldiers and spending a lot of money for very little gain in land combat capability. I don't think China needs separate ultra-elite infantry units. There are way better uses of money for China.
