What is the black object clipped on the upper area of their body armor? Could it possibly be a camera device?

I don't know. Could be a electronic monitor or a camera.

Zhang Liu takes part in a drilling in the jungle at the border area near Myanmar in Dehong Dai-Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, June 24, 2015. Born in 1995, Zhang Liu became an anti-drug soldier in border checkpoint of Mukang in 2013. Grown up in an affluent family in central China's Hunan Province, Zhang said that being a soldier had always been her dream, which drove her to join the army after graduating from high school. Being a front line anti-drug force, the border checkpoint of Mukang has captured about 100 kilograms of drugs since the beginning of this year. Standing the same work force and pressure as the male soldiers, Zhang never complaint but felt proud of her work. (Xinhua/Lin Yiguang)

Very much looks like it.

Western militaries have found it extremely beneficial to record their troops in action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Since this deployment is about as close to combat as Chinese troops are likely to get to without a massive seismic shift in world events in the foreseeable future, it makes sense that the PLA would want to record their troops for analysis and training purposes.

Such records could also come in very useful if PLA troops engage in an actual fire fight to prove beyond any doubt as to what happened.

In that context, it seems a bit of an odd choice to go for such a static camera option rather than a helmet mounted one in place of that useless flashlight their hand all their troops carry on their helmets.

Just curious, why would anyone wants to do this? The bullet would still came out from the pistol barrel. I will wait for our SD member expert TerranEmpire to answer my question.;)

Equation, I am pretty sure you know that there is similar attachment for the glock and this attachment allow more optics, laser and flashlight attachments. Here is my opinion on the attachment. The attachments is probably cheaper to make procure than either getting a new smg, or modifying the slide and barrel of the QBZ-92. Advantage is that you use the same magazine, provide stability (due to the but stock to absorb recoil). It does fire from the same barrel, but I don't think they plan on using this for beyond 50 meters.

The only thing I don't like about this, is the bulkiness. Just search on google for "glock rifle" and there are other examples that are less bulkier, but should theoretically provide the same rail points to mount gadgets.
