In this clip we see PLAGF`s PCL-181 operating at Tibet,PLAGF previous 122mm SPGH, but compared with the M777,FH-77 & Dhanush,not only limited in caliber but also short in range,hence the emergence of China's PLC-181 to make up for these shortcomings

PCL-181 6x6 wheeled SPH weighs 25 tons & can accommodate six crew inside,It can go where most PLAGF tracked SPGH cannot go due to weight restriction on highway & bridges

It can be transported via railway or Y9 & Y20 transport aircraft.

In this clip we can see PCL-181 has semi-auto loader,the labor of loading is mostly remains manual due to which it has only 6rnd per min rate of fire

It`s also seen it does not use Bi-Modular Charge System which is common in Indian and other Armies.
