The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the f**king Chinese.”

I'm not seeing anything in the article about their competence being criticized. Seems like plain ol' racism to me.

Not to say the NK troops really are more competent. Their training is likely essentially the same as it was in the 50s.
