Norinco QBZ-95 or QBZ-97

Chinese PLA soldiers are armed with Norinco QBZ-95 rifles at the Ark launch docks in Cho Ming, Tibet. Since the Cho Ming Ark scenes were filmed in Canada, it is quite possible that the film crew used the Norinco QBZ-97 rifle in place of the QBZ-95.

Norinco QBZ-97B or RS Type 97b

One of the Chinese PLA soldiers at the Ark docks in Cho Ming can be seen armed with a Norinco QBZ-97B carbine. Since the movie was filmed in Canada, the production crew utilised Canadian film armourers who had Norinco QBZ-type rifles.
