Different culture, different set of standards but this should raise eyebrows and at the same time be a bit comforting to Chinese citizens.
First I have to be consistent here. When we see humanitarian crisis in the US and other Western countries I always wonder why we don't deploy our military to assist local govts when they seem overwhelmed.
The same applies to China. For that reason I believe that their citizens should be comforted. These are Chinese soldiers assisting Chinese citizens. They're suffering a potentially deadly outbreak of disease and they're seeing their soldiers "rushing to the sounds of chaos".
Second is the fact that this should raise eyebrows. Those troops are rushing aboard a transport to deal with a virus outbreak. Not a wildfire or earthquake but an outbreak.
Spooky as hell.
Shit just got real in China.
