A positive step in obtaining some sort of closure for the families of the thousands of men still 'missing'. Hopefully China will take the opportunity to show it can be a civilised and responcible world power. With recent very public criticism of China's human rights record all sides can take the opportunity to stop using this issue as a political football, play nice and produce some genuinely worthwhile results that will mean a lot to many ordinary people.

I have a feeling a lot of those guys will never be accounted for. The Chinese typically buried thier dead close to where they fell, and they often didn't make a huge effort to identify them. I would imagine they'd do the same for our dead. I seriously doubt they'd go through the effort of collecting dog tags or writing down names or anything. Ones who died in captivity should be recorded, but any those that died on the battlefield probably not.
