Just that the reddot and bigger front physically block damage on flat surfaces. Using QMK as a bat will hit the turret while ACOG will hit the red dot.

I don't understand your sentence. What do you mean?
The new GPMG （QJY-201）using 7.62*51 NATO-like rounds (in the video) are rarely appeared in any official PLA video（almost zero）
Except for the rumored small-scale trials by the northern border troops (China-Russia or China-NK)
There is also a saying by someone that the Army would rather buy more new HMG (171) than new GPMG which has no ammunition reserves
If the newly commissioned ZBL19 coaxial machine gun is confirmed to be of a 5.8mm caliber, then this is basically a death sentence.
Judging from the information collected from various sources,
This so-called QJZ171 mountain heavy machine gun has actually served as a GPMG in the army and airborne troops.
If you have a machine gun that can be hauled around relatively easily I don't see why you can't consider it general purpose. Except maybe the .50 rounds weighs too much for foot infantry to carry?
That's 7.62 NATO, not .50, and I believe it is considered a GPM.
I wonder if PLA started doing chain linked ammo out of the box , cause used to be that the machine gunners need to link the ammo themselves on the field.
Also brass casing for an machinegun, that a buget increase for sure since the 5.8 round is still using steel.
