China Rewrites History of Korean War
Telegraph UK ^ | 6/25/2010 | Telegraph UK

Until now, the Chinese have staunchly supported their North Korean allies, along whose side they fought in the war.

China previously insisted that the war was waged out of American aggression. The official title of the conflict on the mainland is "The War to Resist America and Aid Korea".
Chinese history textbooks state that the Korean War began when "the United States assembled a United Nations army of 15 countries and defiantly marched across the border and invaded North Korea, spreading the flames of war to our Yalu river."

The official Chinese media stated for the first time that it was North Korea that dealt the first blow. In a special report, Xinhua's International Affairs journal said: "On June 25, 1950, the North Korean army marched over 38th Parallel and started the attack. Three days later, Seoul fell."

Maybe in a hundred years they'll finally get around to recognizing that Mao was a genocidal sociopath.

When will our own communist media stop pretending that MASH was a documentary and recognize that we may well have been in the right in Korea?

I've got five remote tours in the Republic of Korea,
and I recommend this book, The Forgotten War: America in Korea, 1950-1953 [Hardcover] by Clay Blair.

I've read it, and I've been to several places in South Korea that it mentions.
It's like looking over the Commanders' shoulders, when you read it.
