"Brilliant, high-spirited, and crossed the Yalu River..." 70 years ago, the Chinese People's Volunteers held high the banner of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea and defending the country. They went to the Korean battlefield and fought side by side with the Korean military and civilians.
Many experts stated in interviews that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a just battle to defend peace and resist aggression, and made great contributions to the cause of world peace and human progress.
In June 1950, when the Korean Civil War broke out, the U.S. government gathered "United Nations forces" for armed intervention and dispatched the Seventh Fleet of the Navy to invade the Taiwan Strait of China.
After that, the invading US troops crossed the 38th parallel, approached the Yalu River, and dispatched planes to bomb the northeast border of China, directly threatening the national security of New China.
"Making major strategic decisions to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and defend the country is not only based on China's security, but also from the needs of saving North Korea in times of crisis. It also focuses on maintaining peace in Asia and the world, reflecting a high degree of internationalism. "Ding Wei, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, said.
On the cruel battlefield, the Chinese People’s Volunteers and the North Korean people and the army live in solidarity and depend on life and death. After two years and nine months of bloody battles, they won a great victory in the war.
Experts said that the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has effectively hit the arrogant momentum of US imperialist aggression and expansion, greatly encouraged the oppressed nations and peoples of the world in their just cause of national independence and people's liberation, and China's international status has unprecedentedly improved.
"The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea not only forced the opponents to sign an armistice agreement, but also drew a'red line' for the aggressor's behavior and established the rules of safeguarding peace. This'red line' is: Whoever wants to arbitrarily resolve the direct relationship with China Any Eastern issue must be broken. This "red line" drawn with the blood of martyrs still has practical significance and impact." said Shao Zhiyong, a professor at the National Security College of the National Defense University.
Yin Zhengda, a professor at the National Security College of the National Defense University, said that the war against U.S. aggression and aggression carried out by the Chinese People’s Volunteers and the Chinese people was a just feat of fighting hegemonism and power politics, upholding the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations. The people's sympathy, support, and assistance have a profound impact on China, Northeast Asia and the world.
He said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea created a strong aura of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation that they did not believe in evil and were not afraid of ghosts. It completely shattered the attempts of the United States to occupy the Korean Peninsula and contain New China, maintained the security of China's northeastern border, and ensured North Korea. The long-term stability of the strategic pattern of the peninsula and even Northeast Asia.
"The victory of this war safeguarded the security of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the newly-born People’s Republic of China, disrupted the deployment of the imperialist’s expansion sphere of influence, and deterred the impulse to invade the territories of other countries and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The rise of New China, an important force for maintaining world peace, profoundly affected and changed the political pattern of Asia and the world after the end of the Second World War, and maintained peace in Asia and the world." Yin Zhengda said.
The US military uses all advanced weapons and all ground forces are mechanized; while the Chinese People's Volunteers basically rely on infantry and a small amount of artillery to fight, and their weaponry is quite backward.
Yuan Ye, a professor at the National Security College of the National Defense University, believes that victory in the war under the conditions of the disparity in power between the enemy and ours has created an example of defeating the strong by the weak and has achieved the strategic goal of "using war for peace".
"The Chinese people's daring to send troops to North Korea, the daring to fight against the world's largest power, the United States, and the courage to contend with the'United Nations Army' demonstrated the firm determination and strength of the Chinese nation to defy violence and maintain world peace. This was a great impact on the oppressed nation at that time Harmony with the people is a huge encouragement and greatly enhanced their determination to defend their own development path." Yuan Ye said.
