In 1950, there was no need to say much about the justice of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but in 84 the United States questioned why we sent troops to Korea back then. In 1984, Zhang Aiping led a Chinese delegation to visit the United States, thinking that the talks between the two sides would be very friendly.
However, an American general suddenly began an unprovoked attack, asking Zhang Aiping why he sent troops to North Korea in the 50s. However, Zhang Aiping reacted quickly and successfully counterattacked the opponent with only one move.
To understand the reasons for China's resistance to US aggression and aid Korea, we must first review the historical background of the Korean War. It was in June 1950 that a conflict broke out within the Korean Peninsula.
When South Korea was losing ground one after another, the United States, far away on the other side of the Pacific, immediately intervened in the internal affairs of the Korean Peninsula out of a strategy of containing the development of communism.
In order to make its war of aggression appear "legitimate," the United States has even sent troops in the name of the United Nations in an attempt to cover up its aggression against the DPRK.
Against this background, the US Seventh Fleet intruded into the Taiwan Strait without authorization, seriously hampering the process of China's liberation of Taiwan, and also posing a serious threat to China's great cause of reunification.
To make matters worse, United States aircraft in the DPRK have repeatedly violated our airspace, and many villages on our northeastern border have been harassed. China has repeatedly strongly condemned and strongly condemned the aggressive and provocative acts of the United States.
However, in the eyes of the United States, China's serious warnings were just a bluff, believing that China did not have the guts and capabilities to confront the US military at that time.
Not long after the founding of New China, the great cause of national reunification was still in progress, the scars left by the long-term war in the country were heavy, and the economic situation was weak. Compared with the well-equipped US military, our ** equipment seems backward.
At that time, the U.S. military was the most modern military in the world, with advanced military forces such as the navy, air force, and atomic bomb. Therefore, after crossing the 38th parallel, the US military continued to invade southward, completely ignoring China's existence, and the flames of war could spread to China's northeastern border at any time.
This puts North Korea in danger, and China's northeastern border is threatened with the possibility of war at any time.
In the face of the fierce attack of the United States, North Korea felt pressure, and in desperation, their leader Kim Il Sung sent a letter of help to ***. The two countries are geographically adjacent to each other, and North Korea directly requested military assistance, so China naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the actions of the United States.
In October 1950, ** decided to resist US aggression and aid Korea. However, the fundamental reason why China sent volunteers to Korea was to defend its homeland and country.
Since the First Opium War in 1840, the land of the Chinese nation has been in turmoil for more than 100 years, and it was not until the founding of New China that the war finally subsided.
After arduous efforts, the Chinese people have finally ushered in the day of peace, and they will firmly safeguard this hard-won peace, and no matter who their opponents are, even if they are powerful United States, they will not back down in the slightest.
Therefore, China's decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea in 1950 was a completely correct decision, and our goal was only to protect ourselves, without any intention of invading other countries. However, even so, the United States, the real aggressor, still clings to China, and even turns the matter over again more than 30 years later to debate.
The outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950 intensified the tension between China and the United States, but with the changes in the international situation and the continuous efforts of our leaders, relations between the two countries gradually warmed up in the 70s, and since then the two countries have continued to send envoys to each other for visits.
In September 1983, U.S. Secretary of Defense Weinberg led a delegation to China, where they were received by then Chinese Defense Minister Zhang Aiping.
Although the US visit to China is our country's home turf, the attitude of the United States has always been arrogant and arrogant, and it has used words to belittle China's military strength. What is even more outrageous is that the US representative's attempt to interfere in China's Taiwan issue has seriously violated China's internal affairs.
At the critical moment, General Zhang Aiping stood up, resolutely defended the country's position, and forcefully refuted the erroneous views of the US representatives, which made Weinberg deeply admire him.
