Don't be fooled. In reality Chinese grunts don't have any body armour. The rest of their uniform is just cloth, just like in the 90's. The only difference is that the cloth has a fashionable digital print.
well, if one adds the new winter gear, backpack, sidearm, Type95 and combat boots, there are noticeable improvements to be sure. The type 95 helmet is a nice addition.
Have served in a UN mission with PLA engineers in 2003. They do have body armour as part of their kit.
