195 1 June 18 time magazine, the character is Zhou Enlai. The title is: * * * Zhou Enlai, a capitalist. But the following fine print is interesting: The enemy of the United States is also the enemy of China. After Chinese people's Volunteer Army launched the fifth campaign +095 1 in the summer of 2008, the leaders of China decided to accept the American proposal and negotiate a truce. From 1950 and 10 to16, China's leaders went through a series of thrilling decision-making, in which the armistice decision was of great significance. Judging from the later development, although the armistice negotiations lasted for two years, the basic situation of Sino-American fighting in the Korean battlefield was still fixed at 195 1 June. Later, the two sides repeatedly fought in various scales, which failed to change the basic pattern of confrontation along the 38th parallel. From a military point of view, this situation reflects that the military forces of China and the United States on the Korean Peninsula have reached a state of balance due to various complicated factors. The Korean War convinced American policymakers that China was a more adventurous enemy than the Soviet Union, and the most direct threat to American security was in Asia rather than Europe. The main manifestations of the U.S. policy toward China are: the severe economic blockade is more severe than that against the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries; Continue to isolate China politically; Militarily, the Asia-Pacific military system, including South Korea, the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan Province Province, has formed a crescent-shaped encirclement of China. The Korean War also had many influences on China. Among them, it is obvious that China's anti-American attitude has been greatly strengthened. Mao Zedong said: "Today, the danger of world war and the threat to China mainly come from American militants." A national propaganda program called on people to "hate the United States because it is the sworn enemy of the China people; Despise the United States because it is a decadent imperialist country; Despise the United States because it is a paper tiger and can be defeated. " While sending troops to North China, South Korean leaders also launched a vigorous campaign to eliminate pro-America, worship and fear of America. As far as China is concerned, the cost of sending troops to North Korea is high. According to statistics of China, there were more than 366,000 casualties of volunteers, and the war expenditure was 654.38+000 billion yuan. More importantly, the outbreak of the Korean War made the liberation of Taiwan Province Province impossible. It goes without saying that the Korean War had a far-reaching impact on Sino-US relations. It alienated and made the two sides more hostile, which directly led to the confrontation and estrangement between the two countries for twenty years. On the other hand, since the conflict on the Korean Peninsula proved to be costly, both sides adopted a relatively cautious and restrained attitude after the Korean War. Whether dealing with the Taiwan Province Strait crisis or the escalation of the Vietnam War, avoiding the recurrence of direct military confrontation has become one of the primary issues for the leaders of the two countries to consider. The ambassadorial talks between China and the United States, which started in August 1955, provided limited communication channels for both sides, and also marked that the China administration changed its policy of not negotiating with the United States at the end of 1949 and the beginning of 1950. At that time, China's attitude was that as long as the United States continued to maintain diplomatic relations with the Kuomintang, any negotiation was absurd and meaningless. The Korean War laid the tone of Sino-US confrontation in 1950s and 1960s. In this sense, it was indeed an important turning point in the history of Sino-US relations.
