Chinese folk volunteers

In connection with the crossing of the 38th parallel by the American and South Korean forces during the Korean War and their approaching the borders of the PRC, the Chinese leadership decided in October 1950 to introduce Chinese troops into Korean territory. In order to avoid a direct war between the United States and China, unnecessary at that time by either side, these troops were officially called "volunteers." The commander and commissar of the CPV was Marshal Peng Dehuai (when in April 1952 he was forced to return to the PRC due to illness, Deng Hua began to fulfill his duties), the chief of staff was Xie Fang (when Xie Fang became the representative of the PRC in peace talks, he current duties from the summer of 1951 were assumed by Zhang Wenzhou), and from May 1953 - by Li Da, political instructor - Du Ping (until the summer of 1951), Gao Suqi (June 1951 - May 1953), and Li Zhimin (from May 1953).

The phrase "Chinese volunteers" is often used allegorically, about the participants in the Korean War from the USSR Armed Forces . The apotheosis of the participation of Soviet military experts in the Korean War under the guise of KND, when attempts by the highest political leadership of the USSR to hide this participation were no longer successful ^[1] , was the emergence of a half-joking nickname — the pseudonym “ Li Si Tsyn .”
