China's Liberation Hat and Type 50 Uniforms
Added 2026-01-04 16:00:28 +0000 UTCChinese Communist soldiers were getting shot by friendly fire because they were dressed in different colors, so the PLA finally issued uniforms that were truly uniform.
And yet results were still mixed. Is it better to risk friendly fire? Or go postal because you're dressed like a frumpy socialist housekeeper? Which service got stuck with a uniform that looked like a cruel fraternity hazing joke?
The PLA has come a long way since the Type 50 uniforms. Enjoy, comrades, and count yourself lucky for the sartorial sacrifices of your Party forebears!
