The British SAS troopers can choose different small arms of their personal choice. Looks like these PLA recon troops may enjoyed the same special privilege.

This isnt a mixmash of assault rifles, but the standard loadout of PLA Border Guards:
QBZ-03 as standard rifles and QBB-95 as LSW.
There's no LSW variant of the QBZ-03, so the QBB-95 is the only choice.
Might look quite strange with a conventional assault rifle combined with a bullpup LSW in the same unit, but considering that most other nations do that as well (for example; M4 + M249), having completely different designs for LSW/SAW and AR isnt strange at all!

I see. I haven't considered the folding stock option. I though it would be similar to the type 81.
siegecrossbow already did a short translation in the Russias-tank-biathlon thread. If the allegations by the reporters are true, then these supposedly friendly competitions are not very friendly after all with the blatant cheating by changing the rules the last minute in favor of Russia so they could win. That would surely leave teams from other countries in the competitions a bad taste in the mouth when the hosting country don't even pretend to be fair.
This was posted by siegecrossbow in another thread.
"Long story short, Russia is cheating quite a bit in both the Tank Biathlon and the APC competition:
1) Tried to cancel the "floating" competition (something Chinese marines excel at) on the Caspian Sea on the ground of rough weather when the wind was only 2km/h.
2) Removed loading time from consideration because Chinese soldiers were able to reload within 25 seconds.
3) Took a long time to erect the targets for Type-96A teams.
No wonder the champion will be and has always been the Russian team"
The Chinese won 6 parts of the competition out of 10 and still got placed second. I guess one of the events is driving under the influence of vodka and its weighting is 90%
.See these soldier's faces? P_ssed as hell.

Even with a PLA female soldier with a cute face smiling(over on the right with a cap on)could change that.

But how do these shore-based anti-submarine rocket-propelled torpedo works? You still need ships or ASW planes/helo to detect the subs first right? And if they need other ASW assets to work together to be effective, might as well let the ships and ASW planes carry the rocket-propelled torpedos themselves, then there is no need for shore-based version?

Probably tied in to underwater listening arrays. So no need to sent out (and risk) manned assets to actively hunt for enemy subs.
If one gets close enough to a hydrophone and gets detected and identified, you just pop off a few of these ASROCs from shore batteries and the only warning the enemy sub crew would get is the sound of splash downs followed shortly by active pinging from the torpedoes that just appeared right on top of them.
