Xingkong (Chinese: 星空; lit. 'Starry sky'),[3] is a military camouflage pattern adopted in 2019 by all branches of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Introduced in 2019, the Xingkong pattern replaced the Type 07 camouflage on the Type 07 service uniforms used by regular units. The new uniform and Xingkong camouflage were first seen in late September 2019 before the celebration ceremony for the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.[4]

The Xingkong camouflage is deployed with Type 19 and Type 21 uniform series.[5]
