Yes it was primarily due to their overwhelming numbers, but today, the PLA is fast modernizing their forces. And you cannot discount their indoctrinated mentality (See Japan, Germany in WW2, even your modern Islamic Terrorists)

The reason China isnt going all out invading countries is not because they dont have the strength, but for geo political consequences. Same reason why we dont just take the Spratly Islands from them

MacArthur in his arrogance led the UN forces into a trap at Chosin Reservoir, and the Marines led the breakout to the port at Hungnam. In the process, the 1st Marine Division mauled 10 ChiCom divisions so bad, they were never seen in combat again.
