“Always Glad to Loan My Neighbor a Shovel”
The Soviet Union supplied the Chinese People’s Liberation Army with weapons
during the Korean War but did not send ground troops. Chinese soldiers
occupied Seoul because the large army willingly pursued the United Nations
troops southward despite the high rate of Chinese casualties. Herblock
depicts Soviet leader Joseph Stalin looking over Mao Zedong’s shoulder as
the Chinese leader shovels his soldiers into a cannon, an assessment of
their Korean War roles. |
