New Delhi, Nov 28 (TIWN) China has recently developed new cold-resistant clothing and equipment for plateau operations to support border defence troops stationed in high-altitude regions to overcome the harsh winter.

China recently developed new cold-resistant clothing and equipment for plateau operations, in a move analysts said on Thursday will support border defense troops stationed in high-altitude regions to overcome the harsh winter.  Upgrading clothing and equipment for a second consecutive year shows the focus of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on its border defense troops’ quality of life and combat capability amid a border standoff with India, they said.  Ten types of new clothing and equipment, developed by the Central Military Commission (CMC) Logistics Support Department, are being delivered to the border defense frontline, the PLA Daily reported on Thursday.
