1950s China, war torn with an agrarian economy, and an army under-equipped even by WW2 standards, pushed Dugout Doug back to the 38th parallel.
What makes them think today’s China, one that is now the foremost industrial power producing some of the most advanced UCAVs, hypersonics, destroyers, carriers, and 5th gen fighters in the world, is going to let them?

The idea that PRC wouldn’t intervene, perhaps?
From what I remember, the PRC position was that:
If the DPRK were the first to attack the south, they wouldn’t intervene
If the DPRK were attacked first, the PRC would intervene
Thanks!
Maybe, but the way the US is escalating tensions, I don’t think China can afford not to intervene.
