One thing I though was weird was the fact that the CHINESE police had “POLICE” on their uniforms spelled in English???????
I have no clue why. Would it not have been more normal to have it written in Chinese?

Between increased tourism by westerners, the Olymics, and western influence, it isn't terribly surprising to see "POLICE" on their jackets, though I would have expected to see Chinese symbols as well. "Police" and the various western spellings are similar enough to be recognized around much of the world.
Here is another video documenting the Chinese police and their gear. Note that a lot of their gear has the English word "POLICE" on it.

Here is another vid with the Chinese police after killing another hostage taker. Note the use of "POLICE" on several of the uniforms...
