I would not say that the Chinese army was "successful" or "victorious" in 6.25 Korean War.
After all, they had lost about a million of their soldiers and still didn't get Seoul.
All they had done was barely to reoccupy the North Korean territory.

Or, did they "intentionally" quit coming down further south in fear of all out war against US and United Nations?
But I doubt that was the case. By the time they came down south of 38 parallel,
the UN forces learned how to effectively defend themselves and actually pushed them back to north.
The failure of Chinese army to come down further south might have been that they simply got defeated.
I mean, instead of winning, they got defeated ! 
I do not know for sure and I heard nobody mentioning about this.

The story (or concept) of the Chinese victory, I believe, is purely "communist propaganda".
The communists always lie. That's their main job of the day, everyday.
They are the only one who claimed victory. I don't think no one else approved it.

운영자의 의견에 동의합니다.
중공군은 왜 한국에서 유엔군을 이기지 못했는 가를(특히 장진호전투에서 월등히 많은 군인과
미국의 정보부재에도 불구하고) 자세히 분석한 결과 전쟁준비도 없이 (특히 군수준비 부족:
인민군은 식량을 현지충족함-갑자기 스탈린이 한국으로 가라고 하여 인민군은 방한복이 없었음)
참전한 것이 실패의 원인이라고 했습니다.
쏘련이 망한 후 해제된 비밀문서들에 의하면 625는 모택동에게는 알리지 않고 시작한 것이며,
이북이 불리해 지자 스탈린이 그제야 모택동에게 인민군을 보내라 종용했다합니다.
골바춉이 노태우대통령에게 준 구 쏘련의 비밀문서에 다 있다고 합니다.
한국전쟁을 쓴 어떤 미국인은 그것을 모르고 씃기때문에 많은 역사가들로 부터 비판을 많이 받았습니다만,
많은 종북인들은 지금도 그러한 오류를 믿고 있습니다.
정직한 중국역사가들도 믿지 않는 Chinese victory를 왜 믿고 있지요?

Yes, in the damn Korean War, nobody won except total destruction of the Korean peninsula.
I guess Chinese rulers had to claim that they had won in order to deceive and satisfy Chinese people.
The main stay of Chinese or North Korean communists have been lies and deceptions to their people.
If you look into the long history, Chinese military was the worst and weakest kind in the world.
Chinese had never won anything in their more than 2000 years of history.
Mao had to call a victory with a bitter taste in his mouth after having lost his own son.

Chinese intervention in Korean War probably shattered our last hope of unification.
North Korean army was almost completely destroyed. USSR did not want direct confrontation against USA.
It reminds me of the last minute in South Vietnam. South Vietamese Army was almost completely destroyed
and US did not want to continue the war.
The war is not over and Chinese support for North Korea has never stopped.
In fact, it is the very reason for the survival of the current regime even if USSR and communism disappeared
in face of the earth. If current regime and North Korea collapse as many expected in the foreseable future,
China will be the most formadible hindrance for US supported South Koreans to enter North Korea
and recover our lost land.

Why do you say "our last hope of unification" on your comment? What do you mean by last hope?
Whose last hope is it?
Every Korean and all ethnic Korean still want "the unification.
Would you still say last hope of unification was shattered by the Chinese intervention?

Dr. Shin;
I am very sure that what Dr. Ohn meant in "the last hope" was the hope at the moment of 6.25 war in 1950.
See, at the northward push up to the Yalu River by the UN forces, our hope for the unification came almost true.
However, the Chinese invasion turned it into a disappointment when the unification came within our grasp.
Imagine how it could have changed the history of Korea. Damn chink, 짱꼴라들 !!
Our hope should never be a thing of "last" until the actual unification of Korea happens.
Our hope for the unification should never disappear or die.
It is wanted not only by Koreans but by everyone in the world.

As WM said, it was the last chance that we could have had one democratic country in the Korean pinnsula
when UN pushed back North Korean force way up to the North of Pyongyang and 장진호 "during Korean War ",
because USSR was unlikely to intervene to face US directly.
But it became obvious that US had to engage in a war against China, perhaps even USSR in order to make
one Democratic country in the pinninsula after the Chinese intervention.
Indeed, US government decided that the end point of the war should be just recovering the original territory
after the Chinese intervention, whereas Mac Arthur and president Rhee insisted on that it should be the unification.
When I wrote "the last...", I have never meant that the last hope of unification forever.
I was trying to describe one golden opportunity of the unification during Korean War.

Would you revise the phrase last hope to something else? Then I will believe what you mean .
As I read" last hope of unification", I can not think anything else but no chance of unification. Am I wrong on this?

I understand you now. But it is not "our last hope". Am I included in "our"? No.

Written words can create a lot of misunderstandings
because we all make mistakes in making unintentional unclear statements.
There are more than 8000 webpages in our website and it contains numerous errors like this.
None of these are usually intentional. They are rather accidental. We all do those things.
However, if it was not by accident and it was intentional, it was the author's opinion.
The author has the right to express his opinion, a freedom of speech.

Anyway, wanted or not wanted, the unification of Korea will happen soon or later.
The same families and the same race can not be separated like the way it is now.

Not only that, Korea will again someday re-occupy the vast land in 중국, 만주 and 연해주
where our ancestors once pioneered and lived.
They are going to restore the glory of the old 고구려 empire.
I wish the empire of Korea arises during my life time but it seems to be not likely.
I may not last long enough to see the dream of "Empire" to realized but someone will carry out our hope
to create the Korean Empire in the far east Asia.
Hell of a wish, isn't it ?? I believe Koreans have the temper and capability to do that.
