About a third of this article, or more, is a shameless, unattributed, direct plagiarism of Graff and Higham, Military History of China. Does Wikipedia condone that? A student who did that would flunk, and probably be expelled. A professor would be fired. But on Wikipedia it is okay. Why didn't the author at least give the attribution?
