No, this is not the SS. The SS were Hitler's private army. They swore loyalty to him and the Nazi Party.

They were the physical embodiment of Nazi terror and answerable only to Hitler.

The American military swears and oath to ‘’preserve the Constitution and swear allegiance to the same''. Incidentally the Waffen SS were combat troops organized into armored units. SS bastards none the less.

Old school. Has been changed as CZ said, “... apolitical and basically being good stewards of society.”

So “good stewards of society” is the primary mission, not defending the country as it was since the Revolution. The mil is being turned slowly into the some thing like the Waffen SS, but, initially at least, under CCP command and control until regular Chinese troops and civil police can be brought in during the next stage of the takeover.
