In China, it turns out, “My Motherland” is better known as the theme from the film “Battle on Shangganling Mountain,” a 1956 Chinese classic about a Korean War battle in which a vastly outnumbered band of Chinese soldiers held off American and United Nations forces for 42 days.

The Chinese weren't outnumbered. It was 50,000 Chinese troops vs about 20,000 UN troops.

If the PLA had a less than 10 to 1 advantage, they were outnumbered.

I’m not surprised. It’s pretty hard to outnumber the Chinese.

They were probably confused about Pork Chop Hill and thought they were outnumbered and held us off when it was the other way around.
