Chou En Lai offers plan to repatriate Korean War POWs
Premier Chou En Lai proposed that both sides immediately repatriate prisoners who wish to go home and hand over the rest to a neutral state to ensure a just solution. He urged action after hostilities cease while rejecting UN claims that some POWs refuse repatriation. The plan mirrors prior proposals and follows China and North Korea’s stance at Panmunjom amid stalled armistice talks.
