As for hearing from Chinese records, I should imagine, given the human waves and the likelihood of staggering losses, the records have been heavily buried so that the public doesn't find out. Bad for morale and all that. |
I'm not sure the Chinese casualties are as bad as sometimes made out to be. The Chinese troops that fought in Korea were mostly veterens of the Chinese Civil War and they used infiltration and encirclement tactics which proved, especially at the end of 1950, very effective at destroying and throwing back the UN forces despite the Chinese disadvantage in air power and heavy weapons.
