The campaign of the Volunteers completely stunned the US authorities and shook the whole world.

British Prime Minister Edward Lee sent a telegram to US President Harry Truman: Everything available shows that your policy towards the entire Far East is wrong, and that you have ignored the objective existence of the Chinese and the constant warnings issued by you, and have ventured beyond the 38th parallel, causing the British 27th Brigade to completely annihilate our British political axe, and now we must not reflect on our original choice. We cannot continue to follow your wrong policies. I have to think about quitting this war that has nothing to do with us and no hope of victory. Seeking a new path to a negotiated political settlement.

At that time, he was Chief of the General Staff of the British Empire and Permanent Chairman of the Council of Commanders-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the countries of the Western European Union. Montgomery, the Supreme Deputy Command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said: One of the prohibitions of war is not to attack China. Whoever doesn't believe will be in bad luck. If the United States fails to learn a lesson and soberly realize this, the consequences will be hard to imagine. He said to his colleague that since 1946, I have devoted myself to the study of the history of world wars, especially the history of Chinese wars. He is the culmination of the theory and practice of China's strategy and tactics over the past 2,000 years. He rarely went to the front line in person, only staying in the caves of Yan'an and the bungalows of Xibaipo, commanding troops thousands of miles away to fight with telegram after telegram, and always fighting every battle. After the Korean War, I think he stayed in this way in his study in Zhongnanhai, Yanjing, directing the war in a foreign land. Mao ZD has many famous generals and geniuses, so I advise the free world not to fight with them. He said with great foresight that the key to future world peace may lie in China.

The French Prime Minister also sent a telegram to Truman and said: In the Far East, any future expansion of war is unacceptable to us.

Major Western media have commented one after another: "! The counterattack in North Korea sends a very strong and clear signal to the world that [***] will not back down on issues related to China's security. "On a larger historical scale, China [***] has prevented the serious challenges to the survival of the Chinese nation since the Industrial Revolution. Through the founding of the People's Republic of China, and through the active and effective maintenance of our own national security, we have put an end to the means used by them in the past."

The country was also shocked by the news. In the past, the word "shina" was often used to refer to China or Chinese with its contempt and humiliation. After the end of World War II, the US military stationed in China issued an order banning the use of the word "China." Later, although the word disappeared from official statements and documents, it was still customary to use it as a surname among the people. However, the victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the Korean counterattack in western Korea wiped out the entire US Eighth Army, which was feared as a god, and as a result, "Shina" was quietly replaced by "China" in Yuben. If you want to win the respect of the Yamato nation, the most effective way is to kill! Kill! Kill! Kill him upside down. Let them be slaves for generations.

When the news of the victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the Korean counterattack in western Korea reached the Soviet Union and other socialist countries, people took to the streets to cheer the great victory of the socialist camp, and people fanatically shouted "Long live Comrade MZD, the great leader of the Chinese people", long live China, long live New China, "Long live the Chinese Volunteers. This is extremely rare in post-war Eastern Europe, which has not yet emerged from the haze of war; China's victory greatly boosted the morale of the socialist front. People don't talk about beauty anymore. One of the most used words when talking about the United States is "paper tigers".

The victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the counterattack in western Korea has greatly improved the status of overseas Chinese in the host country. Lee Kuan Yew, who later became the president of Singapore, wrote in his "Memoirs" about his two trips to Europe in 1949 and 1951: the previous time, people gave him cold, white eyes and contempt for this "Chinese" who was not Chinese; The latter time, he received enthusiasm and respect, and from time to time people asked him, why are you Chinese so powerful and defeated the invincible American army. This was all due to the impact of the counterattack in western Korea. Lee Kuan Yew said that it was only then that he truly felt the honor and pride of being a Chinese! Since then, he was born in an English-speaking family, and he is determined to learn Chinese and learn Chinese well.

The whole world is puzzled by the fact that in their memories, China combs and smokes opium regardless of gender. Foreign wars have always been limited to the payment of land reparations. It is inconceivable that China is so poor and backward and faces so many difficulties that it dares to dispatch such a large-scale army to compete with the US military, and that the Chinese People's Volunteers can defeat the US army, which is so well-armed and equipped and has a combined army, navy, and air force, relying only on infantry operations and a small amount of artillery support. Until decades later, many in the United States and elsewhere in the West remain a mystery.

Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: "This is the most demanding moment in our career as a professional soldier,...... The Korean War unexpectedly turned from a victory to a humiliating defeat -- the most shameful defeat in the history of our army. "The victory of the volunteers in this battle suddenly shocked the Chinese people's prestige, not only changed the Americans' view of China, but also changed the Westerners' view of China, and even changed the socialist camp's view of China at that time. The Chinese people who stand up are not easy to provoke, and the determination and strength of the Chinese people to resist aggression cannot be underestimated. Commenting on the battle in his book "The Way of Using Soldiers," American Drew Middleton said: "The Chinese are the absolute victors, both militarily and politically. The [***] team has achieved the goal of surprising victory. …… Politically, the victory established China as the leading military power on the Asian continent, thus strengthening Yanjing's influence throughout the region. ”。

The victory of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the Korean counterattack war in western Korea opened up the road of the Chinese nation to the world and raised China's international status to an unprecedented level. It has created the prerequisites for China to interact with all countries in the world on an equal footing, China is no longer a country that is slaughtered and enslaved by others, and the people of Chinese are no longer the sick men of East Asia who are bullied by others. Not only have the Chinese people built self-confidence and self-esteem, but also won the respect of the people of the world. China stands tall in the east of the world, starting from China's initiative to go abroad and the Chinese People's Volunteers stand majestically on the "38th parallel." This war made the whole world look at China with admiration, and the Chinese have raised their eyebrows since then. China has become a world-renowned military power. The rise of great powers began with this war. This is really "the first war to prosper, stabilize the country for half a century; A hundred years of shame, deterring opponents for decades."
