Intrestingly the containers have maritime related slogans such as "Make china's maritime power rejuvinate(aka make china's maritime strength great again)" and "create a common destiny for man and the ocean"
These aren't naval unit mottos so idk which branch this belongs to; it could very likely be the navy, or maybe national defense mobilization (militia).
Or, another theory i've seen online is this is a movie prop.
