The pictures are just show of force. No reasons for the PLA infantry to march across a town when they could have sat on lorries instead. PLA no more marching infantry. Even the most lousy division will be a motorized rifle division. Unless PLA transfer units from other military regions or call up reservist, war won't happen. Reports of smelling gunpowder are BS in the first place, anyone who went thru live firing will tell u the smell of gunpowder only happen after live ammo has been fired.
