BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs has used DNA technology to identify eight Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) soldiers who died in the War to Resist American Aggression and Aid the Korean People (1950-1953).
The remains of eight heroes were returned to China from the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 2020 and 2021. Since 2014, the remains of 1,011 CPV soldiers have been returned from the ROK.
According to the ministry, the identities of 36 Chinese heroes have been established to date, and their families have been found.
In recent years, China has significantly stepped up its efforts to identify the remains of fallen soldiers, including establishing a specialized DNA laboratory and expanding its national DNA database of the remains of heroes and their relatives.
