Epoch Times. 'Nuff said.

But I believe it is widely accepted that the Vietnamese forces had better strategy and motivation than the PLA in 1979. And they were more battle-hardened after the Vietnam War. Just like the IA which is very different from 1962, the PLA is also very different from 1979.

And do you think the PLA that fought during the Sino-Vietnamese war is the same PLA as of today? Do you think that the current PLA employs the same tactics and equipment like in 1979?[COLOR="Silver"]

Well, one thing that these "Free Tibet" groups and the Chinese government have in common is that they both hate criticism.

Read the first paragraphs of my post. The history of Tibet is more complex than what most people in the West think.

Why would they do this? Wouldn't it justify Japan's fear of China's growing military might?

All thanks to Yeltsin.
