The truth about Chinese PLA exploding helmets

This is probably a case of yet another journalist who never served in the military putting fake news that "sounds" correct. Explosives are a munition that must be accounted for at all times. They would not be placed inside a helmet that a solider must carry around on their daily tasks which might include moving vehicles, dealing with heat, cold or moisture or electricity.
Anything that is remote-detonated would need a an access door to be maintained or to change the batteries. A soldier cannot wait hours to change the batteries in their helmet, those batteries must be changed in the field, especially in an emergency.
It is most likely that the "self destruct" is really a way for a soldier or their commander to clear encryption keys for their radio or delete sensitive data from memory retained in a high-tech helmet, something that can be done on US radios by setting the radios to "Z" or "Zeroize."

My original email to FactsMatter is below: Factsmatter did not respond.
Regarding the "Chinese Exploding Helmet" video.
I'm going to do a YouTube video about the "Chinese Exploding Helmet" video. I don't believe this video is factual for the following reasons:
#1. Explosives expire and turn into other components over time, and especially when exposed to heat, cold or moist conditions. This would require the helmet to be sealed, which would make the explosives impossible to replace.
#2. Explosives are considered munitions. Soldiers must be accountable for their weapons, ammunition and explosives at all times. This would mean that the average Chinese soldier would be training, moving vehicles and parading with an explosive helmet. I admit that it is possible that a soldier may only be given this helmet for specific Tibet duty, or have two helmets - a day-to-day helmet and a combat helmet, but that doesn't fix problem #1.
#3. It is much more likely that Chinese soldiers have the ability to "Zeroize" their helmets, meaning that they can press a button for a certain number of seconds and the helmet will "lose fill." Meaning that it will remove any encryption keys and data in the soldier's battle management system.
I've attached a picture of the Army's SINCGARS radio. If you look in the bottom left corner there is a dial setting called "Z" this means "Zeroize" which clears the encryption fills and memory for the radio.
Would you care to respond to this before I make my video?
