Since there would be no war against China or with the USSR, which also supplied war materials to North Korea, MacArthur's actions were meant to end communism only in North Korea or, force North Korea into a speedy surrender. It's quite probable, that North Korea would remain under communist control. Truman feared an extended war that might involve the entire Chinese. It was doubtful that the USSR would enter the war which was a United Nations war.

Why was the supreme commander in the far east relieved of his command in the Korean War?

Because he disagreed with the policies of his president, which in itself is not so bad, but he said so publicly, for quotation in newspapers, in an effort to undermine his president. America has a tradition of civilian control of the military, and this behavior flew in the face of that cherished tradition, a cornerstone of American democracy. The general was MacArthur, who had been on active duty fifty years, and always felt himself to be especially anointed by the almighty. He had little respect for Truman, who had been a captain in WWI, while MacArthur was a general, and a professional soldier. MacArthur thought he knew better, and had the lack of restraint to say so. What MacArthur wanted to do was widen the war. The Chinese had entered the war on the side of the North Koreans. This was a complete surprise to MacArthur, despite the Chinese having clearly said if MacArthur's forces approached within a certain number of miles to the Yalu River (the Korean-Chinese border), they would intervene. And that's just exactly what they did. MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons against China. Truman wanted to avoid starting WWIII.
