Like the amount of half truth and ignored nuance in this piece is staggering.

EDIT: It is even more insane when you consider there is an explicit plan by the US intelligence state to break up and balkanize China. Like they aren't even trying to keep it secret.

    In the expanded Korean War that resulted, China suffered almost 1 million casualties, risked nuclear retaliation, and was slammed with punishing economic sanctions that stayed in place for a generation.

    Wow that's crazy, I wonder who killed 1 million Chinese people, threatened them with nukes, and put sanctions on China? The article never says so I guess it's just a mystery
