I’ve been hearing rumors that Chinese soldiers did not perform well in their last clash with Indian soldiers, and I’ve been trying to track down anything about this topic. Here is a video about it. If this is true, then it confirms what I initially heard. The Chinese don’t fight like mountain lions, the narrator says, but run away like mountain goats. Heh. Their problem is that they haven’t been battle-tested the way that the Indians have (in clashes with Pakistan). This, by the way, is the same problem they had in their clash with Vietnam back in 1979 (or whenever it was). Vietnamese soldiers had been fighting for decades, while the Chinese hadn’t.
I remember the first person from China I ever met (not counting those from Taiwan and other places). At some point I asked him what he thought of the Vietnam War. He looked slightly uncomfortable, but then began to talk in terms I found incomprehensible until I finally figured out he was talking about their Vietnam War and not ours. Sheesh.
