Wait what, silence on casualty numbers is not a good will of de-escalation but indication of 0 casualty?
Casualties means wounded as well, lightly or severely. I think Biscuits is referring to casualties as in dead, which would be very out of character of China did not announce them. He is suggesting that Hu Xijin's account may not be accurate, which is possible imo.
But they are improving somewhat. Here's the Medal Table from the 2018 Asian Games.
You forgot to add the world cup record. That too is not an achievement that can be ignored. Your U19 boys lose world cup final, your main team lose champions trophy final. But that's just one match in tournament, right?
You could also challenge others to play Kabaddi, Shivambalam, Kho Kho, Gulli-Danda, and Pittoo, then accept to China's challenge to play Quan Fa and Kung Fu, also.
