That's very nice of them, I wonder how many more other remains from other countries as well.

Very impressive and solemn ceremonies.

China knows how to respect its war dead.

 

[lightspeed]

why did it take so long for the remains to return home ? China didn't ask or red tape ?

the war was really meaningless for all the parties involved.

Politics, The Agreement was only signed last year. then they had to disinter and Identify the remains

Also very nice of South Korea to offer to return them. I think it shows that sino-SK relations are at their best since both nations were established.

Wish they pay the same respect to the fallen soldiers from the fight with the Japanese
