The People's Liberation Army (PLA) began to develop its new generation
of service uniforms at the beginning of 1993. The new uniforms were
presented to the Central Military Commission for approval in 1995.
The CMC held a meeting on April 10, 1995 to examine the new uniforms.
By the approval of Chairman Jiang Zemin, who examined the new uniforms
personally, the new generation of uniforms were first tried on by
the PLA Garrison stationed in the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region on May 1, 1997 and were introduced to the three services in
the spring of 2000.
The new generation of uniforms includes nine items, namely, military
dress uniform, spring/autumn military service uniform, summer military
service uniform, sweaters, battle dress uniform, physical training
dress , caps and decorations, shoes/boots, and bullet-proof vest.
