Why Korean War was only the first step in resisting Americam invasion?

October 2020 was the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers’ going abroad to fight America and aid Korea. 

First and foremost, I have to clarify a  misconception about the Korean War. The war ended in a stalemate or a draw between the North and South Korea. But China won the war without question, why? When China joined the war, the American led “United Nations” troops were almost at the Chinese-Korean Border at the northernmost part of the Korean peninsula. When the armistice was signed three years later, the Chinese troops had pushed the American troops southwards for several hundred kilometers in the 38th parallel, the border that exists to this day. In other words, not only did Chinese troops stop American troops from taking over the entire Korean peninsula, but also defeated and drove them back southwards and held that position despite repeated American counter-attacks. The significance of this victory cannot be overstated.

China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
