They were brought in from other provinces because they would hold little social connection, understanding or loyalty to to those they were going to crush. It also allows you to control the logistics train so if they turn on you they won't be able to do so effectively for long. It's a standard play in every authoritarian playbook through out history. Any reduction in PTSD is incidental if it even happens at all.

Wonder how many of those soldiers developed PTSD and offed themselves. Or does Face allow one to disconnect that cause you were doing a good job following orders?

Thats not a face thing, just following orders is a real thing your brain does to justify itself

I skim-watched this with Chaoshan Girl. It was p good. Don't attempt to read the comments.

The official death tolls on it are laughably low. Some people on reddit (not useless r/China) pointed out that the CCP claims this rocket blooper killed only 6, even though the locals said it was thousands. You can see how destroyed the village is in the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBJ9ue6GKek

This is one of several "whoops" rocket explosions with civilian death tolls in the 90's in China. Some of them were blamed on the wind.

Today my in-laws decided that a screaming toddler can have a drat glass of cold water, anything to make the kid shut up. He has different biology anyway so he won't benefit from it being hot.

Nah he's almost 2 so strict milk/formula hasn't been a thing for awhile. At this age he should be drinking water and milk and eating food most of the time. But when he asks them for water or milk they always go with hot. He hates it and screams. They've finally caved and they give him cold water and milk.

The Tienanmen square protest wasn't really crushed until troops from a few provinces over arrived. They found that the local troops were easily persuaded to not run over teens with tanks or shoot unarmed people because they could more easily identify with them and would actually listen to the old people telling them to stop their tanks. Once the the country-bumpkin division showed up it was "Charge of the Nong Brigade", and they didn't give a crap about running over and shooting rich city university students.

It also doesn't help that Mainlanders think heating heavy-metaled highly polluted tap water makes it safe to drink over something important like filtering it as much as possible. I always loved hearing the phrase "make water" meaning "take the brown sludge we call tap water and boil it for 5 minutes and then it's perfectly safe for consumption."
