Chariman Mao's ONLY son that is healthy had joined the PVA as a ordinary soldier unnoticed as the Chairman's son. Mao Anying (Mao Ze Dong's son) Was killed in the Korean war.Sad ain't it? QUOTE]
NO, with all respect to Mao and his brave son, it was really a good thing that mao anying got killed in korea, or china would still be like North Korea today.

My thoughs on the korean war
The korean war was fought because of American imperialism. With the un-expected communist victory on the mainland chinese. this led the americans to a policy of containment to the mainland. the korean war was only a consequence to this.
From the mommet Mao declared the PRC to the 1971 table tennis Diplomacy. the US tried to stop chinese influence in every corner of asia.
The chinese might have suffered large casulties but still stopped american from having a puppet state next to chinas industrial heartland.
This war also increased unity and patriotism on the chinese mainland which allowed Mao to continue with his communist policies
@PiSigma
actually that is not known.
What some thinks with a dead son and someone that thinks with a alive son cant be safely concluded.
Kim-Il-Sung led the struggle againest japan for a good portion of his life he was a decent man. But when the soviet union collasped and his government became isolated he might have been desperate for a sucessor because he couldn't trust anyone else to keep his good name(like what Khrushchev did to stalin)
Anyway there is a old chinese saying.
The first generation builds the wealth, the second generation expands the wealth and the third squanders it.
If you dont get the meaning it means nothing is forever.
End Note
China had to pay dearly for her involment in the korean war but it finished the war with a more confident population and a better equipped airforce.
China also learnt a lesson on the type of people the soviets were. making china pay for a war which the soviet union had as much interest to attack american forces as china did.
If china didn't nter the war then the USSR would have

It was definetly NOT the US who started the war, it was North Korea that invaded the South, the US intervened on large scale after a UN resolution had been passed.
The Chinese intervention certainly stopped the UN-forces from winning the war and uniting Korea under a democratic regime, and when comparing the postions of North and South Korea today one can ask wheter this benefitted the North Koreans.

You don't know that. Despite all the revolutionary talks, it is common knowlege that Mao saw himself as a chinese emperor, if you read his poems it's so obvious, he compared himself with all the famous emperors in the past, including Gehgis Kahn, and find that he is better than all of them. He did everything he could to stay in power, killed everyone who could threat him.
It is only logical that he would pass his power to his son. Sending his son to korea war was a move to build up his son's reputation, Mao Anying was placed in the army headquarter of the chief commander general Peng De Huai, he was never near a real battle. He was only unlucky that one day when Peng left, american planes bombed the headquarter and killed him. General Peng was one of the best generals of PLA, but Mao punished him for the death of Anying, Peng died a miserable death.
