Re: Formosa (Taiwan) during the KW

Interesting info.

Regarding Lin Piao:

Lin was cool to Mao's plan to send troops to Korea, and feigning an
"illness", abstained from Mao's military decisions.  Ironically, some
American texts state, even today, that Lin commanded CCF in Korea!

The CCP Fourth  (4th) Field Army would dominate Canton  Military Region
-
under Lin Piao - from 1950 to 1969. I mention this because Lin Piao
(Biao)
was apparently a strong supporter of the NKPA's Korean invasion. Had not
the invasion occurred, its likely 4th Field Army would have returned to
its
roots in Manchuria.
