Blah blah, PLA still the largest army in the world blah blah.

What I want to know is what happens to those 200,000 disgruntled militarily-trained types.  I guess when you do this kind of thing, you just have to make sure that they're laid off in small groups far away from each other, so that they don't get the chance to band together somehow.

The LA times also speculated about disgruntled laid-off  ex-soldiers protesting with guns, although the actual protests it mentions are by current soldiers and veterans, not the recently laid-off.  Clearly China isn't stupid enough to lay off large groups of soliders in the same place.
