One thing is for sure, you will never get it. I hope all Gaoli Bangzis get mad and cut their fingers off. F**king Korean dickheads.

Historically it's nice to know, but the Chinese are the ones calling the shots. Mind you, if the info at least wakes up a few of the blind in SK who think that a return to the Chinese umbrella will be wonderful for Korea, then keep digging.

Of course, one wonders what it really meant in the context of its time. In 1948 the PLA had moved from guerrilla war to a conventional campaign, but the outcome was hardly guaranteed. Theoretically, the U.S. could have intervened on the side of the Nationalists, perhaps defeating Mao. Had they done so, Soviet recognition of Kando as an integral part of a North korean client state makes sense. It would have further cemented the K-I-S regime to them, and with entire corps of ethnic Koreans in PLA ranks, perhaps have provided a refuge/future base of operations for these and other PLA units. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what Soviet intentions rally were. Interesting post! Of course, one wonders what it really meant in the context of its time.

If the Soviets said it, it must have been true. Plus, if there were any party more an authority on international law, it would have to have been the Soviet Union!
