your-instructions-from-moscow:your-instructions-from-moscow:TIME, 23 April 1951MACARTHUR’S PLAN, although never stated in detail, is shown above. It would include: 1) bombing Manchurian airfields on which enemy planes are now massing; 2) blockading the coast of China; 3) bombing Chinese supply centers; 4) helping the Chinese Nationalists to build up anti-Communist resistance in South China. These actions, together with an advance by the United Nation’s Forces in Korea, might endanger the Chinese Red regime, force them to end the war. Truman, however, fears that attacking the Chinese anywhere outside the Korean peninsula would provoke the Russians into entering the war. -- source link
