The entire premise of this article is BS.
CIA propaganda is what I think it is. I laughed out loud at how obvious it is to me
A few months ago China moved 150,000 troops to the border region and around that time began constructing what looks like refuge camps. Yesterday China was reported to have moved 300,000 troops to the region along with arty and missile batteries. Hard to tell from the reports whether the total numbers are 300,000 or 450,000.
Back in the 50s when they crossed the Yalu it was with 1,000,000 troops.
So what is the premise you find objectionable?
