Recently, the situation on the Korean peninsula has become tense again due to North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un’s signal to conduct a nuclear test and the U.S. statement that it will not rule out any means to solve the North Korean nuclear issue, which has been the subject of much debate among the Chinese. There is a view that the Chinese Communist Party will not sit idly by and do nothing, and that there is even a possibility of a second “resistance to the U.S.”, not to mention how likely this is, but the Chinese wording alone shows how deeply the Chinese are poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party: it is clear that North Korea initiated the war of aggression and that the U.S. and other U.N. forces are fighting the aggressor. It is obvious that the Chinese Communist Party is helping a wanton aggressor and is therefore condemned as an aggressor itself, but under the deliberate embellishment and cover-up of the Chinese Communist Party, a war to help the aggressor is portrayed as a so-called just war to “resist the US and defend the country”.
UN Condemns Chinese Communist Party as Aggressor
According to information, the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, and the North Korean army initially made good progress, driving the South Korean army to Pusan and occupying 90 percent of the country by mid-August. Then, the U.S.-led United Nations forces landed at Inchon on September 15. Under the constant bombardment by the U.S. air force, the North Korean army began to be overwhelmed, and anxious Kim Il-sung considered asking China to send troops to assist North Korea. After repeated communication between China, the Soviet Union and North Korea, Mao finally ordered the Chinese army to secretly cross the Yalu River on October 19 to participate in the Korean War over the objections of many Chinese generals.
The international community reacted to the Chinese Communist Party’s move to help North Korea: On January 30, 1951, the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a proposal to condemn China as an aggressor by a vote of forty-four in favor and seven abstentions. On May 18 of that year, the UN also adopted proposals calling on member states to impose an embargo on China.
On June 25, 2016, China’s Punch News published a declassified Soviet document “How Stalin and Mao agreed to send Chinese troops to help North Korea”, proving once again that the aggressor was precisely North Korea and that the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “resistance to the U.S. and support for North Korea” was only at the cost of the deaths of The Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “resistance to the U.S. and support for North Korea” only helped an aggressor at the cost of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people.
There is no doubt that the Chinese people who listened to the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda and considered “resisting the U.S. and supporting the DPRK” as “defending the country” have undoubtedly been fooled once again. Not only is North Korea the aggressor, but the Chinese Communist Party is also an accomplice to the aggressor. It was also because the Chinese Communist Party’s troops went into North Korea on their own initiative to help the aggressors that the United Nations passed a motion condemning the Chinese Communist Party as the aggressor. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda to the public that it sent troops to North Korea because the U.S. military invaded the country is a deceptive statement that turns black and white on its head, precisely to cover up the fact that the real reason for sending troops is to help North Korea, the invading country’s little brother, not to be destroyed.
Chinese Communist Party Takes U.S. Chief of Staff’s Words Out of Context
To better fool the Chinese people, the CCP also took out of context the U.S. Army Chief of Staff Bradley’s comment about the Korean War: “The wrong war with the wrong enemy in the wrong place at the wrong Time,” thus making many Chinese people feel better about the CCP’s “feat” and the American’s “achievement. The war was fought at the wrong time and in the wrong place with the wrong enemy,” which made many Chinese drunk with the “feat” of the Chinese Communist Party and the “regret” of the Americans.
Let’s restore the background and context of his words. Bradley’s remarks were made on May 15, 1951, when he testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Military and Foreign Relations, less than halfway through the Korean War. At the time, U.S. General MacArthur advocated attacking Chinese cities by air and sea to pressure the Chinese Communist Party to compromise and end the Korean War as soon as possible. Congress, of course, questioned this idea and wanted an explanation from the government, and Bradley, as chief of staff, was charged with answering the congressmen’s questions.
In his words, “Frankly, in the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this strategy would involve us in the wrong war, at the Frankly, in the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this strategy would involve us in the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.” Translated into Chinese, it reads, “Frankly, in the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this strategy (meaning expanding the war into China proper) would put us in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong enemy. wrong place, wrong time, wrong war with the wrong enemy.”
This statement was preceded by Bradley’s expression, “In the present situation, we are opposed to the expansion of the war from Korea to include Red China. A so-called limited war against Red China would increase the risks we take and would drain our forces in an area that is not strategically important.”
Note that he uses the word “would” in a hypothetical tone to represent what might happen; so he is never talking about the Korean War, which was already engaged by the Chinese Communists and still ongoing at the time, but a war conflict that expanded into China itself. As can be seen, the U.S. military never denied the justice of sending troops to Korea, but only opposed the expansion of the war into Chinese territory and MacArthur’s view, which would likely put the United States at great risk. This also shows from one side that the Chinese Communist Party has been claiming that the U.S. is going to invade China is also untrue.
And there is no need to repeat the real intention of the Chinese Communist Party in taking the argument out of context.
Americans believe that the Korean War was a just war
In fact, like the U.S. government, Americans have always believed that the Korean War was just because it was a battle to defend freedom and democracy and to resist aggression, and those American veterans who fought in the war are proud of that. There are many Korean War memorials (monuments) throughout the United States, and monuments on many U.S. college campuses bear the names of alumni who died in the war, while Korean War memorials in South Korea bear the names of every American soldier who died in the Korean War.
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld also said this: “On my desk in my office is a nighttime photo of the Korean Peninsula taken from a satellite. North of the ’38th’ military demarcation line, it’s pitch black, with only some glowing bean light in Pyongyang. And to the south, Korea is lit up, a beacon of prosperity and freedom, a beacon that 33,000 Americans and thousands of others have given their lives to defend.”
In contrast, who among the Chinese Communist soldiers who went to Korea for the Communist Party’s selfish interests, or who died in battle, or who fled from the Communist Party, or who were tossed around in the campaign thereafter, can say, “I fought in a war to defend freedom and democracy”?
What happened to the Chinese Communist Party’s gift to Kim Il Sung’s army
The first leader of North Korea was Kim Il Sung (formerly Kim Sung Joo), who fled to China with his father when he was a teenager and attended the first elementary school in Fusong County, Jilin Province, and Yewon Middle School in Jilin City. After the end of the war, in 1946, Kim Il-sung returned to northern Korea with the support of the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party and became the head of the Communist Party.
At that time, the Chinese Communist Party supported Kim Il Sung not only by giving him weapons and Food, but also by giving him troops on several occasions. The first gift of CCP troops came shortly after Kim Il-sung’s return to the country. Kim Il-sung, who had just returned to North Korea at that time, learned from the Chinese Communist Party and the Soviet Communist Party to engage in purges and purge those who doubted and distrusted him in order to call the shots. For the purpose of enriching Kim Il-sung’s forces, the Communist Party of China sent two battalions of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the Gidong Police, totaling 1,200 men, to North Korea in 1947.
After the elimination of the Korean communist representative Hyun Joon-hyuk and the nationalist representative Cho Wan-sik, Kim Il-sung assumed supreme power and established a new regime in 1948. However, Kim Il-sung was not satisfied with ruling only the northern part of Korea, but dreamed of annexing the south and thus achieving Korean unification. With the approval of Stalin, Kim Il-sung began to plan the annexation of Korea. Suffering from a lack of troops, Kim Il-sung sent Kim I as his representative to visit Beijing in early 1949 and proposed to give the three Korean divisions within the establishment of Lin Biao’s Four Fields in northeast China to the Korean People’s Army.
According to Russian state declassified archival materials, Kovalev’s telegram to Stalin (May 18, 1949) about Mao’s briefing on his talks with Kim Il mentioned: “As for the question of assistance to the cadres and weapons of the Korean army, Comrade Mao Zedong said that such assistance could be provided. There are 1.5 million Koreans in northeastern China, and two Korean divisions (10,000 soldiers each) have been formed. One of these divisions has combat experience and has actively participated in battles with the Nationalist forces in northeast China. These divisions we can transfer to North Korea at any time at their request. We are responsible for fully securing and training these divisions when they are not needed by our North Korean comrades for the time being. In addition, we have trained 200 officers who are undergoing additional training and will be ready to be sent to North Korea in a month. In the event of a war between North and South Korea, we will provide everything within our power, especially supplies and weapons for the aforementioned divisions.”
It is reported that to meet Kim Il Sung’s needs, on June 18, 1949, the CPC Jilin Provincial Committee was urgently asked to expand the number of Korean recruits by 1,500, all between the ages of approximately 17 and 30, within a month.
On July 20, 1949, the 164th and 166th divisions of the former Lin Biao’s men entered North Korea with all their equipment and were organized as the 5th and 6th divisions of the Korean People’s Army. On April 18, 1950, the 156th division in the CCP establishment, plus the Korean soldiers in the 139th, 140th and 141st divisions, formed an infantry division with two infantry regiments, a mechanized brigade and a motorcycle regiment, carrying all weapons and equipment, arrived in Wonsan, North Korea, and were organized as the 7th Division of the Korean People’s Army. Other North Korean army formations also included Chinese Communist regiments.
At this point, the Chinese Communist Party provided Kim Il Sung with a total of 37,000 troops in three divisions. With the assistance of the CCP, Kim Il Sung launched an offensive against the South two months later, on June 25, 1950. The unprepared South Korea was quickly caught off guard by the 6th Division (formerly 166th Chinese Communist Division) and the Korean People’s Army, which was dominated by the Chinese Communist Army, until the southernmost point of the Korean Peninsula.
Kim Il Sung’s aggression was condemned by the international community and the United Nations passed a resolution to send troops to the Korean Peninsula to help South Korea repel the North Korean invasion. After the U.S. troops landed, 100,000 Korean People’s Army soldiers were beaten and less than 30,000 eventually fled back north of the 38th parallel. By this point, the main force of the Korean People’s Army had ceased to exist.
Sadly, the surviving division and regiment level leaders of the Chinese Communist Army who participated in the battle were all held accountable. For example, Kim Woo-jeong, the commander of the 2nd Army who participated in the battle, was stripped of all his posts and expelled from the army, and eventually died spitting blood; after his defeat, the commander of the army, Kim Hung, took a few staff officers into the Taebaek Mountains to persist in guerrilla attacks, and later returned to the Chinese Communist Volunteer Army and served as deputy commander. After the end of the Korean War, Kim Hung was branded as a counter-revolutionary sectarian and was liquidated.
In addition, generals such as Bang Husan and Lee Kwon Mo of the 6th Division were also first held responsible for the defeat by Kim Il Sung and later branded as anti-Party counter-revolutionaries, with Lee Husan being sentenced to death.
Conclusion
How will the Chinese feel when they learn that the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “anti-American aid” was just a war of aggression to help the North Koreans? How will they feel when the above-mentioned generals and soldiers who were used as cannon fodder by the Chinese Communist Party and Kim Il Sung die in their homeland or end up in miserable conditions? Obviously, all of them are just tools used by the Chinese Communist Party, and there are still many Chinese people who are numbly used by the Chinese Communist Party.
