During the Korean War, under the powerful offensive of the Chinese and North Korean armies, the United Nations forces were defeated one after another. However, on the battlefield, the United States defeated China and North Korea with "high-tech weapons".
This view is not groundless, because in the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, both China and the United States invested a lot of troops and materials, and the Chinese side also paid a huge price. According to statistics, a total of 237,683 Chinese volunteer soldiers were killed or missing in this battle, and the total number of casualties reached more than 190,000, while the number of American casualties was 36,574 and the number of prisoners was as high as 71,408 during the same period. From these data, it can be seen that China's losses are indeed much greater than those of the United States.
The question then becomes: why do we claim victory in this war?
In response to this question, I would like to ask the readers: What do you think is the real victory? Is it a powerful strike force, well-equipped, and sufficient firepower on the battlefield? Or can it effectively organize a strong people's defense line to defend the territorial integrity and dignity of the country?
I think the latter is the real victory, because a country that has no ability to defend itself and allows others to bully has no future and no hope.
In the course of the confrontation between China and the DPRK against the United Nations forces, although our strength and technology are inferior to those of the other party, what we have is a heroic and fearless People's Liberation Army that dares to dedicate itself. They have a firm determination and conviction and are willing to give everything for the good of the motherland, even giving their lives.
It is precisely because of such a great army that China has been able to successfully stop the US aggression against the Korean Peninsula and safeguard its sovereignty and security. At the same time, we have also proved to the world a truth - a weak country can defeat a strong country, as long as we unite and work together!
Of course, that doesn't mean we have to show off or be proud. On the contrary, we should cherish today's peace and prosperity even more, never forget history, cherish the present, look forward to the future, and make greater contributions to China's development and prosperity!
