Trivia

 * In Battlefield 4, the patch on the PLA Assault's arm reads (安全员), which roughly translates to "security officer".
 * In Battlefield 4, the PLA Engineer is the only PLA member that wears full black uniform as default.
 * In Battlefield 4, the PLA Support wears an armored mask, though it is only cosmetic.
 * Oddly, the PLA Assault model has 5.56x45mm NATO STANAG magazines that are not used by the PLA in his chest-pouches.
 * This may be an oversight by the creators, confusing the export version of the QBZ-95, the QBZ-97 (which can use STANAG magazines), for the original weapon.
