    Horsefeathers! Korea was a UN operation. The UN forces and the ROK had the North Koreans who had invaded the South pushed back almost to the China border when the Chinese Army crossed into North Korea!

    Eki, drop the Finland argument. We are talking about the Chinese. The UN was called in when the Russian and Chinese backed North Korean's invaded the South. They took over half of what was the former Japanese "colony" of Korea (Korea was always one culture and one country until the USSR and Chinese Communists put their puppet in power in Pyongyang). The UN Security Council was able to pass a policy to stop this aggression by the North when the USSR walked out of the meeting. Something they never did again. So when the inevitable butt kicking takes place by the UN forces, the Chinese then come over the border to establish once gain the People's Republic of Korea, and what is more, They have backed that Regime. So while you say the Chinese are benovolent and don't mean harm, I guess you better just put the North down as just invisible victims of Bejjing, because that little mutant in power there now is there at the behest of Bejjing......

    Yes, and similarly the North Koreans called the Russians and the Chinese in, they didn't invade.

    Do they even try to teach history in Finland?

    It is fairly common knowledge that the North Koreans invade the south with Soviet and Chinese support.

    You were talking about Koreans, not South Koreans specifically. North Koreans are Koreans too, and they weren't invaded by the Chinese, on the contrary, they asked for support.

    And China intervened only after US troops were already there:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_...ina_intervenes

    China intervenes


    On 27 June 1950, two days after the KPA invaded and three months before the October Chinese intervention to the Korean War, President Truman dispatched the 7th US Fleet to the Taiwan Straits, to protect Nationalist Republic of China from the People’s Republic of China (PRC).[75] On 4 August 1950, Mao Zedong reported to the Politburo that he would intervene when the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) was ready to deploy. On 20 August 1950, Premier Zhou Enlai informed the United Nations that “Korea is China’s neighbor ... The Chinese people cannot but be concerned about a solution of the Korean question”—thus, via neutral-country diplomats, China warned the US, that in safeguarding Chinese national security, they would intervene against the UN Command in Korea.[39]:83 President Truman interpreted the communication as “a bald attempt to blackmail the UN”, and dismissed it.[76] The Politburo authorized Chinese intervention in Korea on 2 October 1950—the day after the ROK Army crossed the 38th-parallel border.[77] Later, the Chinese claimed that US bombers had violated PRC national airspace when on en route to bomb North Korea—before China intervened.[78]

    When all is said and done, I have to say that I pity immensely the North Koreans. Their leaders are totally insane IMO.

    The point is North Korea invaded South Korea with Chinese support.
    The United Nations came to South Koreas aid.
    Eki you support the UN when it suits you and ignore it or digenerate the rest of the time.
    The ROK army and United Nations forces, including US troops, eventually counterattacked from the small enclave they had been forced into and with an amphibious landing elsewhere drove the North Koreans back almost to the Chinese border.
    At that point China attacked the ROK and United Nation forces.
    Note United Nations not US.
    No matter what spin you try and put on it China sent troops against South Korea and the United Nations.
