"It is an anti-national act that goes against the system of liberal democracy to show to our young people today a propaganda film describing Chinese soldiers as heroes when they were actually part of a war that infiltrated our country," the association added.

According to Han, The Battle at Lake Changjin is another example of propaganda. She says North Korea started the three-year conflict by invading the South, then Beijing came to Pyongyang's assistance after the UN forces had pushed the North Korean military virtually to the Chinese border.

"If China had not helped the North and attacked the South, then the war would have been over much earlier and hundreds of thousands of people would not have died," she said. "Instead, the fighting went on until 1953, the damage to the South was terrible and we still live on a divided peninsula."

    If the war started with the North "invading" the south, what was the Jeju Uprising? What was the American occupation, where they outlawed the People's Republic?

    No, the war definitely started when those commies attacked us, and all our aggression shouldn't count as part of it.

      South: Invades and occupies Haeju, in the North South: Announces that it has invaded and occupied Haeju North: Invades the South in response.* South: Uh uh uh, we never invade the North, the officer who announced we were occupying Haeju was making it up to sound cool

      *Somehow this is the start of the conflict.

    Just wait til they hear about...what was the name of that one, real egregious propaganda...Oh right, every US war movie ever

    Also enjoy the blatant projection:

    "It is an anti-national act that goes against the system of liberal democracy to show to our young people today a propaganda film describing Chinese soldiers as heroes."

    If we don't censor those ideas, our liberal democracy might fall to those nasty commies who do evil things like censor ideas!

    good for them. apparently i've been hardcore propagandised about Chosin because the casualty distribution is very contestable---and the Yanks were working with air superiority & war crimes, but were still overcome :stalin-approval:

    the damage to the South was terrible

    Wow, what horrible damage the South must have sustained, unlike those damn communists in the North

    The bombing campaign destroyed almost every substantial building in North Korea

    Major General William F. Dean,[18] reported that the majority of North Korean cities and villages he saw were either rubble or snow-covered wasteland

    US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea

    The U.S. dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, ... By comparison, the U.S. dropped 1.6 million tons in the European theater and 500,000 tons in the Pacific theater during all of World War II ... North Korea ranks alongside Cambodia (500,000 tons), Laos (2 million tons), and South Vietnam (4 million tons) as among the most heavily-bombed countries in history ...
