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.

Agreed. Sino-Korean relationship technically have nothing they are competing against each other for. I doubt Seoul feels threatened at all by China's growing military strengths, nor do Beijing really care that SK has the best F-15 variants out there. I think it's sooner or later that Beijing-Seoul's relationship will mature to a very very good condition.

It's funny that the more things change... the more they stay the same. There was a reason the Korean peninsula maintained good relations with the Chinese mainland for over 1000 years, and it looks like those reasons still matter. In the end, economic and security interests trump any political or religious ideology.

It's just national pragmatism. China is not separating away physically from Korea anytime soon, and besides the Korean peninsula is not even unified yet.

If I didn't remember wrongly as I read from the news, these soldiers are from the 39th Army Group which is stationed near Shenyang and is also the first army group to enter the war, and one of the first that broke into Seoul.
