China has not learned yet the Korea War lesson if they aim to use the infantry clash with the US armed force. In 1950, Mao Tse Tung overcame the lacking of modern weapons by using the human wave tactics and hence the People’s Liberation Army lost a million lives. In the history, the PLA has never won the war since it was founded, they only won the Cheng Kai Sek’s army in 1949, even the conflict in 1979 with his comrade Vietcong, the China’s armed force lost tens of thousands troops.
Nowadays, China is not strong enough, but having very high ambition. After the US launched 59 Tomahawk missiles to the military bases of Bashar Assad’s regime and also sending the warships to Korea’s waters, the North Korea’s regime is keen to propagandize, mouthful challenge the most powerful nation. A villain leader Kim Jong Un seems scary but he reflects the communist’s manner, when a communist is born, obviously the midwife sees the mouth coming out first.
The battlefield will not occur on the US soil, but in the Korea’s territory, why does China deploy the troops near the border of North Korea? Certainly, China has the full experience in the Korea War, so 1,500,000 troops will not survive under the heavy firepower of US modern weapons. Nevertheless, Beijing isn’t stupid to engage the war while the economy downturned and the domestic security being dealt with the people’s anger. The military solution couldn’t be the good one, therefore the economy and the domestic stabilization are the major issues of Beijing. Moreover, the war will shatter China and the rivals in the central communist party will exploit the war for removal of Xi Jinping and his wings out of the government.
The battlefield will occur in the North Korea territory, so China must consider carefully if they clash with the US. In the passage of time, China and the Soviet Union conflicted the leadership in the Global Communist Bloc, China deployed the troops at the border but the fierce battle didn’t happen, it’s just the high level of the military parade, likely the military exercise.
However, the US could disable Pyongyang regime by the sanction, frozen the finance, affected the China’s economy. The moving of 150,000 troops to North Korea’s border creates more doubts and raise the questions. Surely China couldn’t use the infantry units to confront with airplanes and missiles. China could remove Kim Jong Un regime when Beijing recognizes the young North Korea’s leader harms the China’s credit and the national interest after many times aggressed and threatened the neighbor country by the nuclear missile tests, the world realized Beijing is the master of North Korea. The circumstance of North Korea is like Syria after Bashar Assad used the chemical weapon to kill the innocent civilians then the US punished and now the world hates the Pyongyang regime. Recently, Kim Jong Nam, a half-brother of Kim Jong Un was assassinated by the poison in Malaysia, the rumor releases, probably China wants to replace Kim Jong Un by his haft brother, however he knew it and ordered the secret agent to kill Kim Jong Nam?. China could sacrifice a vassal for the interest, so the fate of Kim Jong Un has been placed on the dealing table of Beijing.
