You make a good point. The Chinese didn't intervene until we were very far north and they may have had a concern that we would try to establish some kind of nationalist beachhead. I suppose the smart play would have been to take Pyongyang and neighborhood but not advance close to the Yalu and see if the North Koreans would just collapse.

There wasn't much to North Korea near the Chinese border back then. Once we occupied the major cities there was no where for the NK's to go.
