Authoritarianism
Removed irrelevant information about alleged forced sterilisations and cut the super-paragraph singling out China, replaced it with a brief mention as the other countries receive.

Nope. Several Chinese designs existed. The Korean version had a higher trajectory but the underlying design was the same. See this pic from the Wu Bei Zhi http://www.grandhistorian.com/chinesesiegewarfare/images/hc-1.jpg.

Goguryeo
Direct quote from the Zizhi Tongjian: 往往见中国人,自云家在某郡,隋末从军,没于高丽,高丽妻一游女,与高丽错居,殆将半矣. The 668 census also showed approx 1/3 Han Chinese population.

Red Turban invasions of Goryeo
No sources for alleged casualties. The Red Turbans never had 150'000 troops in Korea, so they certainly didn't lose that many. Korean casualties were relatively higher as they committed huge numbers (human waves) to siege assaults.

Goguryeo
Again, describing Goguryeo as Korean is anachronistic and misleading. We don't even know if they spoke a language related in any substantial way to modern Korean.

Goguryeo
Can we stop applying anachronistic ethnic definitions to this ancient kingdom. The people of Goguryeo were no more "Korean" than they were "Chinese" or "Manchurian"
