Pentagon Not Excited Over Chinese Reds
The Pentagon sees no expected open intervention by Chinese forces in Korea despite their presence. Two main reasons are cited: Red China protecting the Suiho-Supong hydroelectric complex along the Yalu and a policy to hinder Korea’s non Communist salvation by delaying UN efforts.
