I couldn't remember the number of prisoners. Sorry, but really the Chinese prisoners had no say in the decision-making processes. It was right for China to insist on the return of prisoners as the United States was not trustable. During the Chinese Civil war, my grandfather was a Republic of China soldier before he was caught by the Communists. Then he became a communist soldier fighting for Communists. A lot of Communist soldiers were former Republic of China soldiers, Japanese-supervised Manchurian Army soldiers, and former Warlord soldiers. My grandfather was lucky to stay behind. My ex-step-grandfather, a Republic of China soldier, was not lucky, he fled to Taiwan, leaving behind his wife.
Again, 22,600 Communist soldiers did not really have a say. They were forced to sign repatriation agreements against their wills. I read the Korean War books, when I was in High School and I read that those Chinese prisoners were terrorized in U.N. prisons. I mean no intention of flamebait. It is the truth.
