Maybe, maybe not. In Korea they had hundreds of thousands of veterans who had fought the Nationalists and Japanese for 20 years. Many of them were from large families. They knew privation and horror.
Today's Chinese military has never been in a fight. The officers buy their commissions in order to make money. All the troops are the only child from their parents.
Chinese troops need special counseling if they spend a week or two in the field. Very tough. /s
