If we say which soldier is stronger in fighting, it depends on what the specific soldier is? You can't generalize.
Overall because the PLA field troops are mostly stationed together as a battalion (regiment) or above, while the armed police forces are highly decentralized because of the specificity of their mission, most of them are stationed as a squadron (company). The people who have been in the army know that in the big army no matter which aspects are very strict, but in the other army is relatively more relaxed.
This is the overall point of view, but the breakdown is different, for example, in the armed police border guard forces of the border police station, that of course the management than in the border detachment management to be more relaxed. But the armed police internal security forces, usually the task is also very heavy, complex, so the management of the internal security forces is also very strict. Another example is the armed police motorized division forces, in 1996 the central military commission of the PLA's fourteen second-line infantry divisions transferred to the armed police headquarters, which and the PLA forces can be exactly the same, and how can you say the difference? It's the same in the PLA forces, for example, in second-line non-combat units such as farms that come under the management of the Ministry of Logistics, it's a lot more lenient than it is in other forces. In the Army there is a saying, "Tight infantry, loose artillery, sparse logistics." It's a bit of an exaggeration, but there's still some truth to it.
The following is the former commander of the Armed Police Force, Admiral Yang Guoping's summary of the comparison between the Armed Police Force and the People's Liberation Army forces, you can take a look.
Armed police forces compared with the PLA forces, first of all, the leadership system is different, the PLA to implement the vertical leadership from top to bottom, the armed police to implement the dual leadership, but still to the leadership of the military commission; the armed police forces are in accordance with the administrative region to allocate the strength, and the PLA is not; the armed police forces because of the task of the relationship, so the stationing of a highly decentralized, contact with the people face is wider; the armed police forces are the main responsibility is the internal The main responsibility of the Armed Police Force is internal, and in peacetime it has two main tasks: handling conflicts and duty. The main responsibility of the PLA forces is to keep away from foreign aggression, of course, in times of war, the armed police forces have to cooperate with the PLA in defense operations. For the PLA, it is a matter of keeping the troops for a thousand days, but for the Armed Police Force, it is a matter of keeping the troops for a thousand days and using them for a thousand days. When an emergency occurs, the people's government can appropriately mobilize and use the armed police force without using and mobilizing the army.
Also I wrote an article about the armed police force, if you are interested you can take a look.
