They may have numbers, but they don’t have our western tenacity.
My uncle was on hill 677, battle of kapyong. 224 faced over 10,000 Chinese. They lost 11 men and knocked off more than 2,000 of them. That’s decent odds.
You are right though, not many people today understand the threat. They’ll keep buying Chinese goods etc because they say it’s too hard to find stuff not made there. Not I or others I know here, we’re principled. I will pay more rather than support that commie country.
