The PLA and PAP have absolutely no obligation to adjust their body armor based on your demands for a staged publicity photo. You attempt to weaponize your so-called 'professional criticism' to fabricate a false narrative that they lack basic knowledge of body armor protocols, while deliberately ignoring overwhelming evidence—including extensive photographic documentation—that proves their adherence to proper wear standards.In the comparative testing conducted under NATO STANAG 2920 standards, the Chinese military's equipment operation proficiency scored 91.3 points, surpassing the NATO alliance average of 87.6 points.
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Who's making demands? I hope your maturity level is not representative of the servicemen and women in the Chinese armed forces. Criticism is not the same as making demands, so I'd appreciate it if you could stop erecting in bad faith. Furthermore, our criticism is not about the performance of Chinese armor plates; it is about the widely documented practice of wearing vests too low and exposing the upper thorax (where the human heart is) to enemy fire. I don't care how well Chinese armor plates perform according to NATO standards, because they cannot stop bullets from penetrating areas that are left exposed due to improperly worn vests. The fact that you, a former member of the PAP, couldn't understand such a simple point is a poor reflection on the quality of China's ground forces and perhaps doesn't bode well for the ongoing efforts to increase the professionalism of those service branches.
Again, it bears repeating: you have two options. Either stop posting lame and embarrassing photos or face continued criticism of PLAGF/PAP's lack of professionalism. This isn't a Chinese forum where the audience can be counted on to minimize or overlook deficiencies. Sino Defence is an international forum with members from around the world, many of whom are former service members and are very experienced with firearms and personal protective equipment. We are not here to exalt your beloved PLAGF/PAP. Rest assured, I and others will continue to point out the lame and unprofessional details shown in the photos you share. Live with it or stop posting. It really is simple as that.
