One thing to keep in mind is that the Communist Chinese soldiers may not be as ready to die as you might think.

There were reports in newspapers about two weeks ago, not retracted that I know of, that the PLA was designing helmets that can explode either locally (soldier ostensibly activates device to avoid being captured) or remotely (you have no choice but to go forward or your helmet blows up)

I didn’t believe the report, but it was covered by the Epoch Times and picked by some major outlets. It sounds outlandish. But they are Communists and have murdered between 60-120 million of their own citizens in the last century (depending on who you listen to) so this isn’t a stretch.

The Chinese Communist party may know something about PLA soldiers that they aren’t telling us. Or it could be bizzare propaganda.

Thanks for the info.
It doesn’t surprise me about the Chinese governemet.
And hopefully China and Russia will never truly unite. They are in competition.
But if they do, NATO will have to double in strength to stay in equilibrium.

Yepper, Mao starved the peasants who were growing food for him and his cronies, but leaving little for those doing the growing, picking and dying.
