Introduction

This section examines the Chinese communist view of UN and US motives for their campaign in Korea. Throughout the 1950's and 1960's the Chinese and North Korean governments campaigned to persuade outsiders that the West was interfering in their domestic affairs and in their home region, whilst western powers criticised the communist regimes for undemocratic and repressive behaviour.

This section is focused on understanding and using evidence, and on handling biased accounts of events. It is important to accept that bias does not make a source wrong or unusable, but that it might change the way that we use that source, and the conclusions that we are able to reach.
