Reconsidering China’s Decision to Enter the Korean War— Seventieth Year after the Korean Armistice

After the United States entered the war in late June 1950, Ma…

A Misunderstood Friendship: Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, and Sino-North Korean Relations, 1949-1976: Revised Edition
Today, the People’s Republic of China is North Korea’s only ally on the world stage, a tightly knit relationship that goes back decades.

This book is a reevaluation of the history of this alliance and is the first book published in English to examine it from a Chinese p…
On the Eighty-Eighth Brigade and the Sino–Soviet–Korean triangular relationship – A glimpse at the international antifascist united front during the war of resistance against Japan
The Anti-Japanese United Army, originally a CCP-led armed force, retreated to the Soviet Union during the later phase of the War of Resistance against Japan due to the deteriorating situation and the loss of contact with the CCP Central Committee and CCP organizations in Northeast China. Once in the Soviet Union, it came under the command of the Soviet Army. Against this background, the Eighty-Eighth Brigade (the Anti-Japanese United Army Trainin…

Drawing on newly available archival sources and recent secondary literature, it will argue that during the early Cold War, the PRC leadership lacked a clear sense of the concept of national sovereignty, and often attempted to use territorial negotiations with China's neighbours to bargain for broader foreign policy objectives. The article will also exami…

Making use of Chinese Foreign Ministry archives and provincial and municipal archives, this article traces the history of cross-border migration of ethnic Koreans from 1950 to 1962, especially the illegal migration of ethnic Koreans to North Korea (DPRK) in 1961. A historical examination of Koreans in northeast China demonstrates that the Chinese Communist Party attempted to achieve a workable policy toward Korean border crossers as well as a dis…
Leadership transfer in the Asian revolution: Mao Zedong and the Asian Cominform
On the eve of the victory of the Chinese revolution, Mao Zedong became interested in creating an Asian Cominform. Although Stalin agreed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should lead the Asian revolution and agreed in principle to the idea of an Asian Cominform, he was not in favour of immediate action. After hearing Moscow's opinion, the CCP started to train communist cadres from Asian countries. The CCP gained actual leadership of the Asia…

The whirlwind of China: Zhou Enlai's shuttle diplomacy in 1957 and its effects
Zhou Enlai's shuttle diplomacy in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in January 1957 was an important link between Liu Shaoqi's visit to the Soviet Union in October 1956 and Mao Zedong's attendance at the Moscow Conference of World Communist and Workers' Parties in November 1957. Based on recently available Chinese and Eastern European archival sources, this article argues that Zhou's shuttle diplomacy achieved certain degree of success because …
China and the Dispatch of the Soviet Air Force: The Formation of the Chinese–Soviet–Korean Alliance in the Early Stage of the Korean War
China's entry into the Korean War, together with the involvement of the Soviet Air Force, constituted not only the base of Chinese and Soviet joint assistance to North Korea but also the formation of the Sino-Soviet–North Korean triangular alliance. Recently declassified Russian Defense Ministry archives show that Stalin wavered on dispatching the Soviet Air Force for fear of a direct confrontation with the US/UN forces. It was 12 days after Chin…

Sino-Soviet Relations and the Origins of the Korean War: Stalin's Strategic Goals in the Far East
After initially insisting on the peaceful reunification of Korea, Josif Stalin suddenly decided in early 1950 to give North Korean leader Kim Il Sung permission to invade South Korea. Documents from the Russian archives and materials published in China help explain this abrupt shift in Stalin's position. They show that Stalin carefully assessed the likely American reaction and mistakenly concluded that North Korean forces would quickly seize Sout…
