The Response of the United States to the Kuomintang's"Counter-Attacking on Chinese Mainland"during the Korean War
After the Kuomintang withdrew from Taiwan,the spiritualization of counter-attacking military action in a specific sense became a slogan with more political connotation and the function of psychological motivation.At the government level,the United States was cautious about the Kuomintang's"counter-attacking"issue,but under the special background of the times,US increased its attention to Taiwan's defense,and military and political dignitaries sometimes put forward remarks advocating helping Chiang Kai-shek's"counter-attacking."When the Korean War broke out,the action of the Chinese people's volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea dealt a blow to the arrogance of the US military.In the era when McCarthyism was rampant,under the catalysis of election politics,some US politicians advocated helping the Kuomintang"fight back to the mainland."To a large extent,this was the embodiment of the emotional catharsis of the right-wing forces.Under rational analysis,the US government believed that there was almost no chance of winning in helping Chiang Kai-shek's"counter-attacking"and it might lead to a great war.Driven by Britain and other allies,the United States was ready to seek a political solution to the Korean Peninsula issue.MacArthur's dismissal marked a turning point in the decline of fanatical anti-communist sentiment in the United States.The United States was aware that"counter-attacking on Chinese mainland"was Chiang Kai-shek's instrumental slogan to maintain Taiwan's military and civilian morale,and could not forcibly make him give up his dream.However,there was a gap between dream and reality.It was an effective way for the United States to maintain this gap by controlling the level and manner of military aid.
