On October 1, 1950, a large crowd filled Tiananmen Square in Beijing. They were celebrating the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, the nascent state received letters from the leaders of two of its neighbors on the day - leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Il Sung and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, asking for military assistance. How did this come about? CGTN's documentary "Enemy on the Doorstep: China's Involvement in the Korean War" shows you what was behind the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, which defined history. #KoreanWar1950 #China #Korea

The generation of war time had suffered and sacrificed so much. They fought war, lost lives, lost family members, suffered from poverty and famine...We Chinese should never ever forget their suffering and sacrifice.

I get very angry when I think of the humiliation that China has had to endure at the hands of Western powers especially the United States (my father was an injured American WWII infantry soldier)
Look what the Chinese did to Korea, endless misery in NK, and endless fear in SK.
Yes in the great leap forward chairmsn Mao allowed 14 million to starve to death. Much suffering....not by America but by communist china
@@OscarWrightZenTANGO chinas petty warlords allowed Western nations to trade....they are to blame
@@bluskies1000 I'm sure the world would be having endless fear or misery if people like you do not bother to read history exist. Remember that Japan used Korea as a springboard to invade China and commit various war crimes. America is literally doing the same thing. US forces on the border was, and never is, a good thing. America could station nukes in Korea and destroy China into oblivion. Even now, there are US troops in South Korea, imagine if the North was taken, then China would be next to an enemy that it could not contend with at the time. If I recall correctly, the last time there were missiles stationed in an island near America, you nearly started a goddamn nuclear war. Additionally, some Chinese villages near the Yalu river were bombed, and with the enemy right at the doorsteps, any country that is not a lackey of America would do the same thing to protect its sovereignty
In the 1950's when China was technologically half a century behind, the PRC fought the USA to a standstill in Korea. No wonder American experts consider China a match for the USA in the 2020's .

At the end of the film, a short caption caught my eyes: Mao's son was killed in the war. Mao was the leader of China, he had the power to keep his son at home, but he sent his own son to fight and die for the war he had sent others' sons. Unlike Chicken Hawk Dick Cheney, he orchestrated 9/11 (which was an Inside Job) and sent poor American boys who had volunteered to join the military to earn free college tuitions, and many of those patriotic American boys died or suffered mental illnesses because they were afflicted with moral injuries for killing innocent Muslims.
The reference was at 49:53. 👁
Chicken Hawk Dick Cheney orchestrated 9/11 (which was an inside job)??? Melody Poor, this American says you can kiss my doogie for making an irresponsible allegation like that. Why.....do you have inside information? Were you even around at that time? How would you have liked it if someone attacked the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, and Tiana men Square and killed 3,000 innocent Chinese civilians?? Would you not be in an uproar and seek to track down the terrorists that conspired that unprovoked attack on your people?? Well, that's exactly how the reaction of Americans felt immediately following that famous 9-11 attack.
Seek to find out who the culprits were and set the military in motion to seek out their capture or termination became the objective . Americans were drafted?? Hah, I laugh at your naivete. We Americans were so emotionally upset that many of our young men quit their jobs, stopped their education, left their families to enroll in the military......so that the culprits could be found and then brought to justice or appropriately terminated. And that is exactly what happened when the Al Qaeda training camp was located in Afghanistan. We asked the Afghanistan Taliban government if they would grant the US permission to enter their air space to attack Al Qaeda, but, no, the conservative Taliban government supported the Muslim Fundamentalist Al Qaeda militia and denied permission to the US. But, the US went in to attack them anyway and destroyed their training camp with the assistance of the Northern Alliance militia who opposed both the Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Unfortunately, the Al Qaeda leader, Osama Ben Laden, went into hiding and it took the US a good 10 years or more to finally find him in a home in Pakistan where he was finally killed.
No any leader of the whole world will send their only son to a war even for defending their own country.
No one before and no one will be, except Mao.
He won the respect from all over the world not only inside China.
I don't think Mao would have cared. He left his wife half way through the long march. By the way he was cared throughout the march.
While he sent false information to the other group so they walked right into the path of the Japanese or the Chiang si ceks army.
At the time he wasn't even high up in the party.
@@terryquarton2523 I am admired your courage to put comments on him.
Although you can't even spell the name correctly of Chiang Kai-Shek.
The history of the Long march is worth to be researched throughly.
With such odds I am so touched by their bravery, I can only ever respect the Peoples Volunteer Army even more.
Even as I am glad that the people of South Korea got to enjoy a better life than they would have had under the Kim family, I can and do still respect the common Chinese soldier fighting so bravely in the face of US air and artillery superiority. Not to mention determined American soldiers.
The victory at Lake Changjin was in fact a huge win. Naysayers in the West have built a whole narrative that really it was a loss, etc., due to the high number of Chinese casualties. Yet this is a given for any battle between infantry with small arms and an enemy with infantry, tanks, fighters, bombers, land and offshore artillery. The wonder is that those young Chinese soldiers carried the day against such odds.
Yes I'm sure the millions of starved north Koreans are truly grateful for ccp imperialists
My great grandfather was a defector of KMT to PLA soldier. He never regretted because CCP fight for people while KMT was that time trying to save themselves and to please foreign aggressors such as USA.
KMT and Taiwan at this time was a military dictatorship anyways
So as Zelansky now
@Titus Tiger The world according to my view. Thanks 🙏
Crazy to say such a thing, when the CCP went off on their retreat march and left the KMT to fight off the Japanese imperialist invaders BY THEMSELVES for most of the war, only to return and bully the heroes who stood against the demonic IJA off the mainland. And then have the GALL to say they still own the island where their victims fled to. Pure indoctrination. Was the slaughter Cultural Revolution and the Three Pests Campaign "for the people"? Was the polluting of the Chinese people's lungs with coal fired ovens "for the people"? Was the crushing of protestors in T**nanmen (Censored for the communist content filters)? What about the thousands welded into their tofu dreg homes on the eve of covid? When has the CCP fought for their people?
I commend their honour at protecting their motherland and trying to raise their country from poverty and the ravages of past wars and humiliations...
So do I. The South Koreans, who protected their land and rose up from poverty to wealth. I am glad America was part of the world that went to help South Korea. I am also glad we were able to free Korea from the Japanese Empire, which is the only reason we were there
You mean the Koreans?

It was a war well fought by the Chinese volunteer army and the North Korean soldiers against the US hegemony. The Korean War caused the US to experiences budget deficit and military spending deficit for the first time.
Chinese "volunteers"army was an artifice.
@@tjanders you know it all? Go fight Chinese if you hate them so much

people like you know nothing of the war.. funny how chinese supported the Democratic elected government in 1919 KPG also russia and france supported this KPG Government. and after WW2 Russia occupied and controlled the North pushing for it's style of Government while USA who helped defeat Japanese there tried supporting again a Democratic Government that was voted in by the whole Korean people back in early 1900's and even china supported this acuse USA of starting it and sole agressors.
Russia is and was to blame also.. North Korea attacked sth first and started this war to reunify those who did not want comunism..
Now remember KPG was the Democratic Government before WW2 and supported by chinese and russia and now Russia and chinese tries to support a new different government..
Give me a break.
It wasn't just fighting against the imperialist US & it's puppet S. Korea, but also against the US led UN forces.
I always find it laughable with the Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Aggressors refer to themselves and their running dogs as "the UN forces," or "the International Community."
Yes totals hypocrisy.
@@paularnold1930 where is the total hipocracy there?
Interesting facts about the Korean War:
China wasn't even part of the war before the US didn't threaten its own borders. South Korean government was mass killing Korean civilians who don't share their political view, executing thousands of political prisoners and killing many unarmed villagers during the war. The US empire was napalm bombing civilians without even knowing, or caring, who they are murdering. Also, MacArthur wanted to drop nuclear bombs on China. Fortunately, Truman was able to put a leash on his mad dog on time and the tragedy was averted.
with the intention of occupying Taiwan and assisting French army invading South Vietnam, it's almost obvious that US could set these all up(south Korean killing Korean ppl) as an excuse for them to advance US troops into Korean war, later, to serve the ultimate mission of invading China from 3 different directions whenever they are all ready. What possibly could the US not do? they are capable of coming up with any evil plans.

'Separately, the commission has also ruled that the South Korean government summarily executed thousands of political prisoners and killed many unarmed villagers during the war...'
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_League_massacre
'The Bodo League massacre was a massacre and war crime against communists and suspected sympathizers (many of whom were civilians who had no connection with communism or communists) that occurred in the summer of 1950 during the Korean War. Estimates of the death toll vary. Historians and experts on the Korean War estimate that the full total ranges from at least 60,000-110,000 to 200,000'
@Covert Puppytwo Interesting way to acknowledge that I'm correct as usual. A bit too many words, but still :)

Agreed
This video shows the wrong history. Chinese citizens think they fought against American imperialism through this war. In fact, North Korea attacked South Korea first. China is good at instigating false stories.
All the Chinese people fought only to defend their motherland while the Americans fought just for their politicians ambition, I feel sad about this fact.
So then why did China invade Tibet in 1959? or invade India in 1962? or Invade Vietnam in 1979? truth is, China is always invading countries, and threatening to invade Taiwan is a terrible look that just makes them seem awful
@@TheTranceCartel You should read the ancient history of Tibet, China never invaded Tibet because Tibet is originally and historically parts of China, don't read the western anti china's history books, they wrote the opposite. China invaded Vietnam? You're wrong, China only teaches lessons to Vietnam fot not to occupied Cambodia at that time at the USA permission, remember Deng Xiao Ping visited Washington before sending troops to Vietnam? But China retreat after a weekly fought. China try to invade Taiwan? You are more misleading, Taiwan is just a province of China even USA and UN admit it, and USA and UN only urge China to use a negotiation ways to unite that province not by the hard forces, but Taiwan separatists do not accept so China is considering to use hard forces, that's not invading because its still the China territory/land.
@@akhunsuryanto don't waste time on idiots/trolls, spent ur time wisely

My grandpa joined the army when he was a teeny. He was also fought on the battlefield during this war. A bullet almost took his life but luckily it just flew by and scratched his forehead and left a scar. We can only yelled at each other when we’re having a conversation cuz he lost most of his hearing due to the wars too. I remember all the stories my grandpa told me about his army life:) they also have textbooks to study and exams to take :) mathematics, Chinese and even English. My grandpa studied so hard because he worships knowledge. He’s my hero and he’s turning 84 soon. Love u grandpa, I’m so proud of u!!!!

Yes the UN forces responded with honour and bravely . Well done you defenders of freedom from totalitarian extremism of the communists !!!
Yes, they were brave men. No doubt and patriotic? Maybe not. You see, Chairman Mao ordered them to go as volunteers. Many of them were captured Nationalist soldiers anyway. They were expendable and, if ordered, who was to refuse? There was no such option as "no, I don't want to kill anymore." No, I need to stay at home to take care of my aged parents and provide food for the family." No, my education should come first and I want to study hard so that I can serve my country adminstratively." You think any of those excuses for not going to war were acceptable? Nope, if ordered to go.....you go !! Besides, China in 1950 had difficulties feeding so many millions of Chinese. If we sacrifice a 30=40 thousand, that's less mouths to feed....besides they were Chiang Kai Shek's troops anyway." And that is why they were sent w/o winter clothing, lack of sufficient ammunition, artillery, tanks, air power.....they had none of that and yet they would be forced to attack in waves of seemingly suicide attacks. Yes, many young Chinese boys died needlessly in a foreign conflict. Ironically, following the cessation of the conflict, there was an exchange of prisoners of war. Approximately, 15 Americans chose to stay and live with the Chinese. On the other hand, approximately 20,000 PLA "volunteers accepted an offer to go live in Taiwan rather than return to their homeland knowing that there might be a possibility of being punished for winning a victory or returning to a life of starvation and a life of political dictatorship.

@@ronquan5382 I honestly, if it were not for the so-called dictatorship and all kinds of tyranny that happened in China, you would not be here today to care about the living conditions of the young people at that time, just like no one cares about the Indians and Mayans who died at the hands of the colonists.

well said brother, the deep state propaganda machine is trying very hard preventing its people to get a real alternative perspective. Because without it, they are at their mercy for total brainwash control.
@Twelve Houses, yes agree, look at the internal / psychological struggles their leadership had gone through in the weeks leading up to the decision to enter war. They really really didn't want to fight because they were so poor after many years of world war II and civil war, and they were just trying to focus rebuilding their economy, but they had no choice because they felt being threatened. This war could be avoided, and hundreds of thousands of Korean, Chinese and American lives could have been saved, but the politicians and Macarthur's arrogance made this possible.

You are so right, Judy. Why do we allow ourselves to be talked into, pressured into, and finally decide to go into conflicts in different parts of the world where our very strong and technologically advanced weapons cause severe destruction, terminate many of the opposing military, and even capture drug cartel bosses from foreign states. Well, using 9-11 as an example, there are those who view the US as a demonic power and thus conspire to destroy all that we represent. There are those who follow a completely different viewpoint to economics and view our capitalistic system as selfishly profit oriented and exploitative, and there are those who view our society with all of its wealth and comforts as a form of evil materialism and in need of being cleansed. Thus, we seek to defend our interests, our aspirations, our institutions and constitution, our independence, our love for freedom, and to protect from others, the American Way.......that is why.
The north attacked the South and than china attacked, what the first president did to the communist was pretty justifiable as communist were just killing everyone, unlike the south who killed those that were communist.

As an American, I believe the way this war is taught here is pure propaganda. It's the usual "defense against communist aggression" and "promoting freedom and democracy" talk, but they usually leave out the fact that we killed 1/5 of the North Korean people and bombed every single village and city to ruins. We definitely don't learn that the South was also ruled by a dictatorship, or that the South lagged behind the North economically until the 1970s. I'm glad to hear the Chinese perspective on this war for once. I hope there can someday be a peaceful reunification and a neutral and prosperous Korea.
As for the US and China, I'm afraid our leadership and Deep State are pushing us towards another war. The talk of Xinjiang genocide seems suspiciously similar to Iraq's nonexistent WMDs, the Nayirah baby incubator testimony, or the Gulf of Tonkin.
One quick note, KMT took ALL the gold from mainland China to Taiwan before they left the mainland China. That's also part of the reason why the living condition was so bad at that time.

This English version of the documentary is very short, it mainly focused on why we got involved. It cut out all of those heroes stories. I can understand why.
When I was watching the Chinese version, cried every episodes, all those suffering made me heartbroken but felt very proud of them at the same time.
In this English version, it didn’t have those content. It’s like you only talking about your deep pain to your closest family members, because to outsiders, they don’t really care nor their sympathy really matters to you.
no, just because they are revisionist betrayed communism so they fear Imperialist and don't dare openly hug the history from 1949 to 1976. Those heroes fought for Socialism and communism.
I'm sorry for them, so many sent to suffer in a unjust cause. We thought the Chinese Communists were uncaring about humanity, even their own people, sending them to invade another country in winter, wearing sneakers. I guess it worked, a lot of guys were surprised and murdered while asleep, thinking the war all but over. You guys were able to make that war go on for years, so that many many died, or had their lives ruined. Think what Korea would be like today, if not for China.
Can you give me the link to the chinese version? Thank you
BS, that's anecdotal. More American's can respect the enemies emotional pain from war than you think. We've been at war for the past 75 years.
It is unnecessary to translate the chinese version because the west doesn't care as they will deem it as Chinese propaganda even in the English version. Only a Chinese will know regardless whether the Chinese are mainlanders or oversea Chinese (like myself).

But, they had no choice because Chairman Mao, who loves for a "peoples liberation" to take place everywhere in the world..........decided that they would cross the border into North Korea and, hopefully, chase the US and UN forces out of South Korea and unify the communist dictatorship of Kim Ill Sung.

it's good to see CGTN doing these type of documentary. We need to hear/see from both sides. Growing up in the US, our history classes are bias. Since day one, we have been conditioned to hate Russia and China. Honest educators/policitians will quickly get isolated and ridicule.
Good that CTGN produced these documentary to shows the actual facts leading to the Korea war in 1950. If only the PLA are as well equip as they are now, maybe the thousand of lives of these volunteers could be saved. The overwhelming military might of the US forces shows how venerable the PLA volunteer force are fighting against a far superior, well equipped and powerful US force at that time. China building of her military forces is a far sighted vision of the PRC to safe guard itself against Western and ill-intent forces of creating problems in Asia. With the present LDP in Japan intention on amending Japan’s post-war constitution, it is potentially dangerous for the region. It would expand Japan role of military offensive behaviour in the future.
I would view the election of the highest level official (typical of democratic system) as the weak spot to foreign interference. Perhaps the very reason why the US and the west like to promote democracy everywhere.
True Democracy hardly ever existed anyway, if any. Hence, an alternative system that is just and be able to prevent foreign interference can be very interesting.
Honest politicians? Where do we find those? And communists ALWAYS lie. So definitely never listen to them

The Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Media never mentions the fact that China was acting in self defense when she entered the Korean War.
very true ... however, there was an American reporter who initially covered the civil war in China first hand, wrote articles and a book about it, and then followed up with another book which also discussed China's involvement in the Korean War. That reporter was Edgar Snow (1905 - 1972): his first book was "Red Star Over China" (initially published in 1938, revised in 1944, and again in 1968); and his second book was "Red China Today" (published in 1961).
He conducted first hand interviews with many of the relevant historical figures of those decades, and Snow's reporting closely paralleled the history told in this video documentary.
(Snow also wrote some other books regarding the far east, but those were the only two I came across in the 60s).

The korean war never ended and will continue very soon in the south china sea, xi knows and that why he told the china army to get ready for war
Willpower>firepower
Clown Macarthur is lucky to fleed home with his pant on.
Otherwise we would have seen his tail squeezed between his two hind legs.
As an Indian seeing this, this is beautiful. I have never seen the korean war from this perspective. I really hope India and China will have a better bond.
Everyone from both countries should promote peace for the two great nations.
A great documentary every time I see it. Reveals many facts that lay hidden during the Cold War.
should search us comfort woman in Korean war and massacres and war crimes
Amazing doc . Really appreciate this different view
after wacthing documentary from both side, now i have new perception...its a remarkable history
China and Russia and Iran are the only countries that stand in the way of the axis-of-evil (US,,NATO's ,FVEY,Israel Saudi Arabia).
You forgot Cuba. You've mentioned communist countries. USSR is no longer. Iran is in the done. Venezuela is starving. Good luck
The Great Mao that man was a genius I understand why u Chinese are really proud of him.
U r great people don't ever give up on what's ur right, fight for it.
It feel great to have another view at the history, not those one sided racist thug story where they're always victorious.
Mao killed millions of people....communism does not work.....CCP had to go to capitalism to get money to buy weapons.
@@stewartbeche686 joke please can u come with sense
Mao one of the most prolific mass murderers of all time.
@@garrystone561 tell where u from and ur skin color and we do the comparison based on fact and history bunch of killer
There's no contry, race and tribe in the History of the world that have killed, rape, enslaved humans being more than u supremacist mass murder.
@@stewartbeche686 yes in your bollywood. Joker
CGTN做的越来越好了，加油加油！
India left the chatroom
@michael boultinghouse US isn't going to fight China on the Himalayas, it's India's border dispute, let's be real.
@michael boultinghouse USA sponsored terrorist against the soviet union in Afghanistan!
If India has some kinda of radical religion to be funded.
Biggest mistake of the USSR is that they supported India most of the times.
@michael boultinghouse Because they are already fucked by the USA.
But now there is a win-win situation for both the countries.
Why is the tenured professor.. or is it tethered.. choosing the words "communist insurrection" to describe a people's attempt to dislodge a foreign occupier, as was the case in Vietnam?
Chinese government has the right attitude that no foreign power should interfere.
Was China not a foreign power in Korea?
@@bejoysen4468 china left after the war but usa still remains to make sure south korea and japan is a "colony"
@@John-us9rm America is only there with the approval of South Korea and Japan's democratic governments.
@@bejoysen4468 Theres no consensus to vote for approval for usa to be in korea or japan.
@@John-us9rm the elected governments made the decision. That's how representative democracy works.
Thank you for expanding my understanding.
I have massive respect to the poorly equipped Chinese soldiers who managed to push back and defeat the technologically superior US and UN combined forces. Unlike the UN and US soldiers, China's forces were mostly veterans who had fought the Imperials in the Second Sino Japanese War and fought in the Chinese Civil War on both sides.
