I think the Chinese communists could give them a run for their money as far as stacking their own bodies… Especially during the Korean War, throwing four and five waves of bodies at American positions just to make us expend our ammo.

But yes, you’re correct in their disregard for their own people.

From a mindset perspective probably very much so. From an available-warm-bodies perspective perhaps not so much. In 2021 the population was around 140 million, with the large majority outside military age.

Now China or India...they have the masses of young men to expend. All those young Chinese men with no hope for a family of their own...gotta do something.
