What Asian country lied about winning a war against US?

Answer 1

Well, it can't be Hanoi, because they really did conquer South Vietnam. Red China and North Korea DID fight the US in 1950 thru 1953 during the Korean War. But no one won that war, as far is territorial conquests is concerned. Korea was a knock down dragged out fight that amounted to a draw. It's not over, only a TRUCE was signed in 1953...it's called an ARMISTICE. Techically N & S Korea are still at war. The US/Allies "could" say they won the Korean War because the US/Allies stopped the North Koreans from conquering South Korea. That in itself is a victory. The Red Chinese/North Koreans "could" say they won the war because the US/Allies departed North Korea after they invaded it; abandoned the field so to speak. Korea was divided at the 38th Parallel before the war; and was divided at the same place after the war...it was a draw. But if the communists want to say they won, that's OK too; they're still separated at the 38th Parallel. It is not known if any other Asian nation has made such claims.
