The Korean War was largely a war between the United States and China.

The release of this module will occur at a time the Presidents of these countries seem to be very fond of each other. How ironic

In this sense you don't find playing PTO all this time ironic?

I thought that KWASL was based on ASL rules, with adaptations.
Justiciar seems to say that it has nothing to do with ASL.
If that is the case, I will take back my preorder.

Of course it is.

"The rules in Chapters A-J apply in conjunction with those in Chapter W."

No I was making the counter-point about Waldon's post which suggested "special" was like the rules of a HASL for example.

 

[Paul M. Weir]

As long as it's not "special" as in short bus "special", I don't mind.

I recently saw a documentary on CCTV (now called CGTN) that called the Korean War "the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea". And it was not a documentary shot during the maoist period, it was a very recent one.

And this is what i've just found on the website of the PRC's foreign affairs ministry.

Interesting, isn't it?

Dude, there’s gotta be better things in TV. The TV Series “Lethal Weapon” ain’t half bad ..

Ah OK. My dullness didn't grasp your argumentation.

Gotta disagree with that statement...

Seems to have glossed over a minor fact that the North Koreans invaded the South with an unprovoked attack in 1950.:nod:

What is remarkable is the total absence of convergence in telling the story of the Korean War, despite the fact it took place more than 60 years ago.

when I went to the war museum in Beijing, all was in English untill the Korean war bit, and no one seemed available to translate.....

Fake news predates the misuse of the term by many thousands of years. Government attempts to suppress and/or control their press are always ongoing. Our current 1st amendment provides some protection, but only so far as the people support it. How much worse in China and Russia where the people have limited power of free speech and outside information is more strictly controlled, despite incredible leaps in global communication over the last fifty years.

You are lucky! I went to the war museum in London, all was in English, and no one seemed available to translate ..

Yup - I'd expect different governments to offer their version of events. I have recently been reading on accounts of the Second Sino Japanese War by Japanese scholars. It's been really interesting to see different "interpretations" of events.

I find China's "ASL player generation" (which is 20-40 yrs old) to have a pretty broad world view. A lot of these folks are western educated anyways.

"Convergence" might happen, just not strictly to the western version of events. :nod:

That's why i talked about convergence, not alignment. He he

Yeah. It seems to have been done on orders from Moscow.
