Amateur question here - is this batch of equipment going to the same unit? If so, why is there a mix of different camouflage schemes (desert and woodland)?

Not sure if they're going to the same brigade because these news segments never name specific units below the army group or the theater command level. In this instance, the equipment is being accepted into the 71st Group Army.

At the GA level, is it normal for different brigades to use different camo schemes?

Ceremonial swords are unsharpened. Trust me, you don’t want to carry a large hunking piece of steel into combat these days.

Einstein Said something else, I remember something about stock and stones, so I thought PLA had considered Einsteins scenarios, anyway such a sharp sword would be gold worth in a time when nothing else is available.

would be interesting to read about the role and range of the rocketeer launchers and the AS gun, what’s the name of this weapon systems, I will Google it, or do you have a authentic Source to read about Chinese equipment?

Looks like lessons learned from Ukraine-Russian war and preparations for Taiwan, very interesting.
It seems like there's still improvements that can be made, but the thing is, we really don't know how representative or good that footage real is.

Could be scripted to be shown to tv (this stuff has happened before), the footage could also be old (something taken a while ago, possibly years, but finally actually shown) or only be part of training (so there could be better/more realistic training not shown).

Definitely not years since they were wearing new BDUs
