Yes, China was involved with the Korean War. The United States and South Korea fought together against North Korea and China. Other countries which are allies with South Korea or the United States also brought medication, weapons, and other needed supplies.
China was an ally of North Korea. When the UN forces pursued the retreating North Korean forces past the 38th parallel, which had been the originally designated dividing line between North and South Korea after the 2nd World War, the government of China felt justified in counterattacking and sending forces to fight the UN forces and join the North Korean forces in pushing back the UN forces out of northern Korea. By the time the armistice was signed, most of the forces the UN was fighting were Chinese, not North Korean.
Communist leader Mao Zedong's decision to involve China in the Korean War was a conscientious effort to confront the most powerful country in the world, undertaken at a time when the regime was still consolidating its own power after winning the Chinese Civil War. Mao primarily supported intervention not to save North Korea or to appease the Soviet Union, but because he believed that a military conflict with the United States was inevitable after UN forces crossed the 38th parallel. A secondary motive of Mao's was to improve his own prestige inside the communist international community by demonstrating that his Marxist concerns were international. In his later years Mao believed that Stalin only gained a positive opinion of him after China's entrance into the Korean War. Inside China, the war improved the long-term prestige of Mao, Zhou, and Peng.
