Sort of like Chinese pouring soldiers into the Korean conflict , Vietnam War and other arenas. No matter how many were gone people said “They still have 1.412 billion left.”

More than 300,000 Chinese troops served in Vietnam between 1965 and 1969, with some 1,100 killed and 4,300 wounded.
Reasons up 5,187%.

Poor things. When it reaches the level of fisherman, farmers, cops, construction workers, etc., get back to me and I might give a da*n.
Also, I know that one was killed by a leftist politician who was afraid of light being shone on his corruption.

Anyone with a Twitter account is probably now counted as a “journalist”.
How many “died suddenly”?
Not enough!!
