Resist U.S. Aggression, Aid Korea, Defend the Homeland and Guard the Country:New China had to face aggressive external threats soon after its establishment. In the summer of 1950, civil war broke out in Korea. America immediately used force to intervene in the internal affairs of Korea. After the outbreak of the Korean civil war, America manipulated the United Nations Security Council into passing a resolution to intervene in the internal affairs of Korea and created an invasion army composed of troops from various countries whipped together by America, and America’s own troops. Soon, a “United Nations force, “ which was mainly composed of American troops, invaded Korea. At the same time, the American Seventh Fleet entered the Taiwan Strait to intervene in China’s internal politics. The situation in Korea was critical, and severely threatened China’s security. In the name of a “United Nation’s Army, “ America expanded the war of aggression. The American government ignored the Chinese government’s solemn and just warning. In September, American troops landed on Incheon, directly approaching the northern part of the Korean peninsula. They went across “the 38th parallel” and burned the flames of war all the way to the Chinese border. The American air force also intruded into Chinese airspace and bombed the border area in northeastern China. Mao Zedong pointed out:“All over the world, every country’s internal affairs should be managed by its own people. Asian affairs should be managed by Asian people, not by Americans. America’s invasion of Asia will only cause wide and determined resistance among Asian people.”
