Soldiers from a unit of the Sichuan Provincial Corps of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP), stationed on the western plateau in southwest China's Sichuan Province at an altitude of 3,500 meters, have conducted shirtless training in the snow.

Footage shows the troops running, crawling and doing bayonet training in the snow.

According to the corps, local troops have in recent years drawn on the plateau's harsh and changeable weather and the realities of frontline duties. Through repeated drills and refinement, they have developed a range of practical training and combat methods suited to high-altitude, complex environments, and amassed extensive baseline data from live-equipment exercises in frigid mountainous terrain. The efforts have specifically overcome key constraints on training and readiness, such as oxygen deprivation, freezing temperatures, rugged terrain and reduced equipment performance, and have strengthened the unit's all-terrain, high-altitude operational capability.
