how far do you agree that the
benefits of Chinese involvement
ion the Korean War far outweighed
the costs?
Files & media
intro:
the extent to which the benefits outweigh the costs will be measured by analysing the
impacts through the lens of x, y and z
eg: through the lens of the communist regime, Mao himself as a leader and the
Chinese population
main body:
1) promoting national unity
justification of mass mobilisation for the creation of a collective spirit
cultivated hate for west
eg Resist America, Aid Korea campaign
Americans labelled 'bandits, murderers and savages'
BUT
while it is true that the campaign mobilised and united the nation, the impact of the use on
terror of achieving this outcome is overlooked
eg govt recorded 800,000 counter-revolutionary executions during the first half of
1951
JUDGMENT:
communist regime: benefitted to a small extent but evidence suggests it was mostly due to the
atmosphere of fear and suspicion so the loyalty of the population and the strength of the
regime on the interior is not so convincing as a major benefit
strength of the cpp enhanced also by increase in ussr assistance (military and economically)
mao: success of increase patriotism and international prestige helped Mao as a leader
overall
however, left china dependent on ussr for aid an dadivce
