yes...most PLA foot sloggers wont get that new type of body armour..i think only category A units are recieving them for testing n evaluation but the category B units like the reserves still only have flak vests

first of all, the new vest is being issued, now 127th div could be one of the first unit that is being issued, so it takes time.
second of all, "category B" units are not reserves. unlike canada, PLA reserves only funtion while a war is going on in china, such as 1979, reserves soldiers who USED to be in service was called on. most of the time, they are just there, being paid 5 bucks per day for training. worth less than 1 canadian buck.
as category B units are mostly like foot soldiers, light infantries, the TRUE light infantries, and units with old equipments. those units are being downsizing or disbanded. in the next 10-20 years, lots of such divisions will be no long existing.
third of all, even A armies don't have flak vests, so......

heres the armor break down...
all pla marines probably have body armor,
and most paratroop units do too.
the majority of A catagory units have body armor. i dont know how red guard got the idea a units dont have flak vests.
b units probably dont have much armor.
all spec ops. have the best armor
