I saw a film clip of rioters in POW camp raise a PRC flag and held the camp
comandant hostage, tanks were brought in to surpress them. Let's face it,
both sides had spin doctors to work on the POWs.

frustrated?  are you sure?  maybe they are excited 'cause they didn't
have to Mai Ming(sell their lifes)  that time.

As I recall there are several medium large scale landing in GuangDong & FuJain
