Did US bombed China before Korean War?

Question:

I saw a video in china about the Korean war, how they became involved. They say the US bombed a Chinese village and that caused them to join the war against US, not sure why i never heard f it, maybe the US government censored and hidden the secret.

Answer:

During WW2, China, mostly which were Japanese occupied, was bombed by the USAAF because Chinese forces and civilians were attacked by the wielding Japanese Army.

As for Korea, our national experience in WWII, where we literally leveled entire cities in our drive to destroy the Nazi war machine, brought about a concern and a political hesitance to bomb with impunity in Korea. During WW2, we launched massive 1,000 bomber assaults on German and Japanese cities and industrial areas with massive civilian deaths. During the Korean War, our political controllers in Washington DC tried to execute careful, pin-point targeting, and attacks to avoid civilian loss of life and spill over into Communist China. The USAF fighter-bombers were restricted in regards to how far the could pursue their North Korean counterparts in aerial combat like not chasing the MiGs across the Chinese border and bombing missions were restricted to transport systems (highways, bridges and trains) as well as supply distribution centers within North Korea. However, this war had less restrictions when used against the Communists bases and infrastructure within North Korea in the 50s than the politicians allowed during the Vietnam War in the 60s and 70s.

Chinese forces used many excuses to attack and drive back UN forces back to South Korea but the Chinese advance was halted due to relentless U.S. air attacks on their supplies lines, making it a stalemate. Up until 1953 when a ceasefire agreement was signed, making the way it was before the war.

@No As for someone saying we should have bombed China during the war, what will it achieved? Bombing China after their intervention isn't going to work and wiping them out will result a direct Soviet intervention. You're an idiot and not understanding how Cold War politics work. You sound like an arrogant **** like Macarthur is. Doing so would ignite WW3 later on.
