Okay... most of the images loaded are repeated
Camouflage looks like multicam looks like a modern pack and plate carrier.
The full mannequin is more interesting more the gloves are Oakley the helmet looks like it has a all the goodies illuminating devices NOD and more note the deltoid protection.

The Last image I find humorous. The helmet is the product of a company named Devtac most of there product are Airsoft a few though are ballistic rated for pistols via appliques. This model has those. The mask has a built in eye pro and fans for ventilation. What i find humorous is the maker is Japanese.

It's in Chinese, but Google Translate works good enough and there are plenty of images.

What I find interesting is that the article notes that the first appearances of the QGF-11 helmet (the one seen in the V-day parade) often showed it used in conjunction with the QTS-11. That probably explains why they're designated the same number.

Looks like They bought the accessory off the shelf then drilled holes into the QGF 11 Helmet to attach a set that did not actually match the Chinese Helmet.
This has happened from time to time for Special units as a kind of Rapid prototyping. IE have a need for one thing yet nothing quite meets it but you find two products that come close so you take parts off them them and blend them together creating the W15 type as a ad hoc Modification this can be seen as there issues with fit and parts seem off. Basically they were trying to make a Square peg fit a round hole.
Because the Accessories they are using were made for a US MITCH and it's Screw points they had to drill their own mounting points to adapt.

Eventually the Helmet maker catches wind and tailors their own set that would fit the helmet.
 
Even kids in the PLA strategic rocket force (!) are not immune to being "bowed head tribe".

While discipline comes first they should also embrace and make use of gaming beyond the obvious such as using the Battlefield series in training. I remember reading an article some years back on how playing World of Warcraft helped deployed US service members maintain relationships with family back home thereby improving morale.

Mobile games becoming challenge for Chinese army
SourceCRI EditorZhang Tao Time2017-06-07

Mobile-based online games are said to be creating new challenges for military officials in China, reports the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Daily.

The issue came to the forefront in March after an engineer in the PLA's strategic rocket forces admitted to being addicted to mobile games while on duty.

The engineer was immersed in online games when one of his supervisors rang-in to check-up on him.

"Obsessions with mobile games can not only affect work performances, health and mental capacity, but may also impact communication between officers and soldiers," said Ye Xiong, the director of the rocket force's Political Affairs Department.

It's being suggested mobile game playing should be banned in the military.

However, a survey among PLA soldiers and officers has found that only 26% of them agree.

Those surveyed have suggested the online games can actually help in team building.

Wang Lin, with the PLA Air Force's at Southern Theatre, provided an explanation to the PLA Daily, after discovering that one of his soldiers was addicted to mobile games.

"I applied an account, and often shared tips on how to win the game with that soldier. Gradually, he overcame his fear of social interaction. We eventually became close friends, both online and off-line," said Wang Lin.

The same survey has also found that 64% of soldiers asked say they believe playing mobile games has benefits, including helping learn how to cope with pressure, increasing ties among fellow soldiers, enhancing mental clarity and building up team work.

"Mobile games are a fact of life for the younger generation. We should be embracing this, instead of repressing it. Through the proper guidance, soldiers are more effective if they're able to find a balance between work and play," a military official is being quoted by the PLA Daily.

PLA soldiers should stop being plebs and play actually good games.
Such as the Wargame series or CMANO. Or even old hex-field based tactics games like SPMBT. This way, they can sharpen their tactical thinking while also having fun.

If I was the PLA high brass, I would ban all games aside of hardcore realistic wargames.
