In 1950, Mao Zedong shocked the world by sending Chinese “volunteers” into Korea — turning a regional war into a global crisis. Truman was stunned, Stalin celebrated, and South Korea faced its darkest hour. Here’s how the world reacted when China entered the Korean War.

  1. Koreans have a boundless love for socialism. When it comes to protecting socialism, they are determined to risk their lives for it.
    Why is this?
    Because socialism is a society without inequality.
    A Western politician once lamented that the capitalist system causes appalling inequality, with only a few hundreds of families in the world owning more wealth than the equivalent of two billion families.
    The world's first Black female pilot often said that heaven is a single, prejudice-free place. She had achieved the highest grade in mathematics in school, but was allegedly discriminated against for one reason only: being Black. Therefore, she ascended from the painful ground, where racism lingers, to heaven and felt comfort there.
    In contrast, there is no discrimination in Korean society, and no inequality whatsoever, such as the differences between rich and poor, between classes, professions, or genders.
    In the more than 70 years of socialist rule, Koreans have become accustomed to the idea that the entire society has formed a large family with equal rights, and that everyone helps and encourages one another and exchanges feelings of friendship.
    Koreans will never support such a society, where most people should overlook the fact that only a few rich people eat their fill in luxurious residences or bungalows, and there are separate schools for the children of both the rich and the poor.
    Koreans' love of the socialist system is also due to the fact that they themselves become masters of society.
    In the DPRK, one can see the slogans "Serve the people!" and "Everything for the people, everything based on the masses!"
    This is never a symbolic meaning. In fact, in the DPRK, the people are the masters of society, and everything serves the people. Ordinary working people are elected as deputies (parliamentarians) of the Supreme People's Assembly, where state affairs are discussed, make decisions, and implement their own will and demands in accordance with policy. State organs, hospitals, and schools are also being built for the people, and recreation centers and sanatoriums in ideal locations also serve the people. The free compulsory education system and the system of free medical treatment are being implemented without fail.
    This is indeed the attraction of socialism and a reality that capitalism can neither imitate nor possess.
    Indeed, it is very fortunate that the people, as the dignified masters of society, enjoy the law to their heart's content and live their sovereign lives!

  2. China's involvement wasn't to strike the West, it was a defense of national sovereignty. The US had real plans to nuke cities in China, and the People's Republic of China hadn't even existed yet for a whole year, so China had to fight. If the Coalition was going to stop, they would've stopped before hitting the Yalu River. The Coalition was bound on moving into China, and our motherland responded appropriately in deterrence to an unprompted, unwarranted act of aggression.
