It was first confirmed that Chinese fighter jets participated in the Korean War with North Korean flags on them during the Korean War.

Although it is a Chinese fighter, there must have been a reason why it had to look like a North Korean fighter on the surface.



Exclusive report, Correspondent Kim Ji-sung, Beijing.



<Reporter> These



are Chinese fighters that participated in the Korean War.



Each is marked with a red star inside the blue and red concentric circles.




It is the same as the mark of the North Korean Air Force aircraft used in the past as well as today.



The original Chinese Air Force flag was engraved with the numbers 8 and 1, symbolizing the anniversary of the founding of the Armed Forces, in Chinese characters.



At that time, Chinese fighter jets took off and landed in Dandong, China, which is adjacent to North Korea.




At the time of the Korean War, China called its veterans the 'People's Volunteer Army', meaning that they were soldiers who volunteered to participate in the war, meaning that the government did not dispatch them.



It doesn't make sense for a soldier who volunteered to participate in the war to have a fighter, so it's an interpretation that makes it look like a North Korean fighter.



It was also revealed that during the Korean War, the Chinese government said, "If all foreign troops withdraw from the Korean Peninsula, they will take responsibility and persuade Chinese volunteers to return to their home countries."



They argued that the Chinese military's participation in the war had nothing to do with the will of the government.



The Peking University Korean Peninsula Research Center, who first confirmed this fact, sees it as a camouflage to prevent the war from spreading to mainland China.



[Zhou Tianyu / Researcher, Center for Korean Peninsula Studies, Peking University: (China) did not want to admit to an open war with the UN forces. This is because national security can be greatly affected by taking responsibility for war.]



China used the term "reinforcement force" instead of soldiers at the ceremony to hand over the remains of Chinese soldiers at Incheon International Airport on the 2nd.



[Chinese moderator (last 2nd, Incheon International Airport): Recruiters, your country will take you home.] The



research team will write a thesis on the newly revealed facts and will publish them in the world's leading academic journals soon.
