Chinese President Claims Victory Over America During Korean War Commemoration
Here is some more standard Chinese propaganda that people scoff at outside of China, but all Emperor President Xi cares about is what his domestic audience thinks and they believe this:
It was a time of Chinese sacrifice and bravery in the face of U.S. aggression. It was a just war in which the hardscrabble, newly established People’s Republic reluctantly stood up to American imperialists – and the Americans, richer but hardly tougher, were beaten.
That may not be the complete story of the Korean War, a major 20th century conflict that touched off when North Korea invaded the South in June 1950, drawing in the United States, the United Nations and eventually China.
But this week, that tidy narrative has overwhelmed China’ state newspapers, dominated the airwaves and even filled box offices as the Communist Party rolled out an unprecedented week of commemorative events and coverage to mark 70 years since Chairman Mao Zedong sent Chinese forces across the Yalu River and ground the Americans to a stalemate.
With U.S.-China tensions at the highest point in years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping hammered home the message in a blistering televised address about the “magnificent” War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, as the Korean War is commonly referred to in China.

Well, North Korea still exists, so yes, they did win.
Like Don said.
So they finally admitting after 70 years that the CCF were ordered into Norkistan by Mao…propoganda was the Reds “volunteered” to fight…
The US certainly didn’t win.
Beijing Boy won because he can drink Starbucks and isn’t eating tree bark like his northern cousins.
The fact that there is still a Republic of Korea also points out that we (i.e., the UN) didn’t lose. The difference between North and South Korea over the last 70 has shown the Chinese “winning” just cost millions of Korean lives–far worse than any other enemy has done.
But perhaps Tokyo boy has another quote from a Japanese politician to edify us with? Maybe something about nose-tombs or Nagasaki or Nanjing?
Teach us, enlightened one! How does the parasite army show what Korea won?
If the China’s only goal was to stop the ending of the Kim regime then yes could make an argument that they won, however they attempted to communize the entire peninsula and failed. Likewise when the US/UN/ROK entered North Korea it failed in its objective of reunifying the peninsula once the Chinese entered the war.
So neither the US/UN/ROK or Chinese sides won since neither achieved the objective they were aiming for because the cost to achieve them was too much life and treasure that neither side was willing to push for; except for Syngman Rhee who wanted to keep fighting. That is why an armistice was agreed to, not a surrender. Someone should ask Xi if they won where was the surrender ceremony like we saw in World War II on the USS Missouri?
The only loser from the Korean War was the Kim regime which failed to conquer the ROK and devastated their country in the process and has now become a despotic Chinese dependency. The ROK on the other hand is vibrant economic miracle dependent that is not dependent on one country like the Kim regime is.
Except that ROK now needs to pay up $5 billion because the US said so.
In which our ill-mannered troll advertises his(?) complete lack of understanding of capitalism, haggling, negotiations, and winning.
Then again, they don’t teach those in the People’s Republic.
