In June 1950, after the outbreak of the Korean War, after careful consideration, Chairman ** made the great decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In this war, China has sent millions of troops, and it can be said that the victory of the Korean War is inseparable from China's great contribution.
What is China's assistance to North Korea? There are many examples in history that China has provided substantial assistance to North Korea on this issue. For example, after the war, China was very generous in its reconstruction efforts for North Korea, and has since provided military and economic assistance to North Korea.
So, on the other hand, has North Korea ever given China support? Let's take a closer look.
In October 1950, the Chinese Volunteers bravely crossed the Yalu River and plunged into the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, fighting side by side with the Korean People's Army and stubbornly resisting the "United **" led by the United States
In the baptism of the five major battles, the enemy forces were forced to turn to strategic defense. From June 1951 to the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the two sides fell into a stalemate stage of "talking while fighting" and "promoting talks by fighting".
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, China's logistics system provided solid support for the volunteers and the people's army, and China's selfless dedication was an important reason for the victory of the Korean War. "
Help people to the end"After the war, Korea was devastated, and the Chinese volunteers did not choose to evacuate immediately, but firmly assumed the responsibility of helping North Korea rebuild its homeland.
During the Korean War, hundreds of thousands of volunteer soldiers not only fought for national honor, but also made great contributions to the construction of the people's livelihood in the DPRK with practical actions. They serve as "volunteer laborers" and are involved in agricultural production and infrastructure development, including bridges, roads, schools, and irrigation of farmland.
In particular, they cleared mines during the war, ensuring the safety of farmland and enabling agricultural production to proceed smoothly. According to statistics, the volunteers have helped the DPRK rebuild more than 70 cities, including Pyongyang and Nampo, and built hundreds of water conservancy facilities and factories, making great contributions to the improvement of the people's livelihood in the DPRK.
In the second half of 1958, the Volunteer Army ended the Korean Campaign and donated 10 divisions of equipment to the Korean People's Army, although the North Korean military strength was temporarily weakened, but Kim Il Sung was worried that the US and South Korean troops would make a comeback, and China provided $300 million in free aid to the DPRK to help the DPRK improve its military strength.
In fact, China's assistance to the DPRK was not limited to the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
The Soviet Union had provided a lot of economic aid to North Korea, but in 1960, the Soviet Union was unhappy with North Korea's close relations with China, and Khrushchev said that he would reduce aid to North Korea.
Against this backdrop, China has taken over more aid work. In September 1971, China and the DPRK signed the Agreement on Gratuitous Military Assistance and built a special pipeline to transport oil to the DPRK, supplying 500,000 tons of oil to the DPRK every year, accounting for 80% of the DPRK's annual imports.
China is one of North Korea's most generous friends. In 2005, China sent more than 530,000 tons of grain to the DPRK, accounting for more than 90 percent of the international grain aid to the DPRK. In addition to food aid, China has also provided military, industrial, and petroleum assistance to the DPRK.
This is a testament to the friendship and mutual support between the two countries. So, in turn, what support does North Korea provide to China?
In the early 18th century, when Korea was still under feudal rule, some poor Koreans crossed the border to the Yanji area in northeastern China. Since then, the Korean people have forged a deep friendship with the northeast of our country.
However, in 1910, Japan occupied Korea and inflicted a brutal and inhumane attack on the Korean people, plunging the Korean people into deep suffering.
