Unless China builds an invasion bridge out of dead soldiers, they'll never have enough women for their men.

You can't get over the idea of the Chinese mercilessly slaughtering their own men, eh?

The People's Republic was rather fond of "human wave" tactics during the Korean War (and again during their war with Vietnam).

Their casualty rates were horrendous.

Don't ask me to explain their insanity, all I know is they threaten war over the rock.

You guys need to read up on current relations between Taiwan and China. The words are empty rhetoric, and there'll never be a war. However, the KMT may realize Chiang's wish, and return to the mainland.
