Bravo! Walawala’s well-reasoned and logical rebuttal is impeccable and flawless. I have previously responded to Chien Li’s viewpoints as follows:
“Assuming all your view points are valid, please take note of the following facts:
1) Historically the U.S. has never “tied” a war against a foreign country.
2) China gained 50 years of external peace so that Mao could initiate various maddening internal campaigns. The U.S. dared not to engage another land war with China. The U.S. land forces dared not to cross the 17th parallel in Vietnam. The U.S. took heed of China’s warning not to cross the 17th parallel. General MacArthur said in his dying days, to paraphrase, it is insane for any country to fight Chinese army (land force).
3) Chinese casualties in Korea were, let’s say, 10 times heavier than the U.S. The North Vietnamese’s casualties were many, many times over the U.S. Who won the Vietnam War?
4) If the China did not intervene in Korea, you had a situation where the Korea were occupied by the U.S. in the north east, Chiang Kai-shek’s Taiwan in the east (very anxious to reclaim the mainland), and the aggressive India in the south, not to mention French in the south.”
In addition, if the war were to continue for another 6 months, the Chinese might have recaptured Seoul. The U.S. has weakened, if not lost, the air superiority at the time the armistice was signed. The young Chinese Air Force has entered the war. The first time in the history that a real air war was fought with jet war planes.
