BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- The remains of 10 more Chinese soldiers killed in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) have been identified, according to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.

The remains of the 10 Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) martyrs were returned from the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 2020 and 2021.

DNA testing has proven a new approach in the identification of martyrs whose personal belongings offered few clues to their identities, the ministry said.

China has established national DNA databases of martyrs and their relatives, as well as a national DNA testing lab for martyrs' remains.

So far, the remains of 20 CPV martyrs have been identified courtesy of the databases, according to the ministry.

China has welcomed back the remains of 938 CPV martyrs from the ROK over 10 years since 2014. Enditem
