the training scenario was that an inmate which was being transported to hospital attempted escape;

FYI the guy in the blue vest is the "inmate"(likely OPFOR), black shirt is a corrections officer, while the two soldiers are carrying a QBZ-03 rifle and Type 97-1 shotgun.

In china, there is a difference between detention centers(看守所) and Jails(拘留所), though they are almost always located next to each other; detention centers(看守所) are for suspects awaiting trial(or sentenced suspects awaiting the death penalty), while Jails(拘留所) are for people given administrative detention(administrative punishments are for misdemeanors and range from verbal warnings to adminisrtative detention; administrative punishments do not require court sentencing, however for administrative detention it must be under 20 days and can be appealed in court);

Also in china, every detention facility(jails+detention centers, prisons) has a company(often a de facto platoon sized unit) of people's armed police soldiers(who are not corrections officers, but rather active service members) who are in charge of the prison/jail wall and watchtowers, and can assist during incidents inside the jail/prison if things go out of hand;

additionally, the PAP company responsible for county detention centers(or county level detention centers) also often maintains an emergency managment squad to assist the county PD with issues outside of the detention center.

Shanghai SPD(上海市公安局特警总队) typically wears SWAT patches and are often called Shanghai SWAT though the official translation is "Special police department"

this is since 特警(SWAT) literally means "special police", so in shanghai the literal translation is used; 总队 typically translates to corps but in this case they used department instead

The Shanghai SPD is considered one of china's main counterterrorism units and have participated in several raids, hostage rescues and have provided security for multiple large events such as george bush's china visit in 2001 during the APEC summit.

FYI this is apparently due to recent floods; dongzhong town is next to the china-vietnam border

Previously each group army would have a spec ops brigade similar in role to US army rangers; this has now been changed to each theater command(+xinjiang and xizang military districts keeping their spec ops brigades) having a spec ops brigade with a role more similar to US green berets while the role of "army rangers" would be kept by recon soldiers.

Full context:

In December 26, 2022, at Nanxiang town, Babu district, in the city of Hezhou, guangxi, a man(surnamed Cheng(程)) murdered two people with a knife before escaping into the mountains; after local police requested assistance from the people's armed police(full time military similar to army national guard), they arrived to conduct a large scale manhunt in the nearby woods(alongside local police, volunteers and standard PAP soldiers).

after 60 hours of continuous searching(along with use of thermals and drones), Cheng was found on a mountain near a cave and arrestted.

Difference between SWAT and people's armed police is SWAT listens to local police, while people's armed police is an active service military force similar to army national guard(but full time)

essentially, the ZSL92/WZ551 family had three variants used by the PAP and local police:

• WJ-94: 4x4 variant used by PAP; very rarely seen nowadays
• WJ-03: 6x6 variant used by PAP and SWAT; also rather rare nowadays
  • WJ-03B: new variant, still used by PAP
• GA-06: 4x4 variant used by SWAT during overseas UN peacekeeping missions

Nowadays local SWAT typically uses the Saber tooth tiger(chinese modified F550) or T-rex(chinese modified Ram 5500) SWAT vehicles that are more dedicated to this role; UN peacekeeping police is no longer managed by local SWAT but rather secret service who use the VP11(also known as the snow wolf) MRAP.
