Why would the PLA buy a 5.56x45mm NATO chambered weapon from the singaporeans?

I mean, the chinese have got their NORINCO, so why would they buy that particular gun?

And the USMC will keep their FN M249s (perhaps not) and HK M27s for a long time to come, let's say, like 10-15 yrs), so no U-100 MK5s (but it's a good gun, yeah).

And I personally think that the mag. fed IAR is a welcome addition to the USMCs squad-based firepower, giving the gunners a bit more options: accuracy + lightness or high-capacity + great supression?
