| China's decision about N.Korea was not a blunder. The Chinese had reasons for moving into N. Korea after the US/UN forces crosses the 38th parallel.
Most of the hydro-electric power that China recieved in the north-east was from N.Korea. It was essential for China to keep N. Korea or unified Korea in communits hands, but once it felt that the UN forces would capture the north, they decided to move in to safe guard their intrests. In that sense China achieved their aim in keeping the buffer of N. Korea intact. The blunder was committed by the US/UN forces when they crossed the 38th parallel. This got the chinese involved directly. |
