Truman limited the war to the Korean peninsula, MacArthur had encouraged widening the war to hit Chinese bases in Manchuria. Khruschev and Chairman Mao made a mistake by boycotting the UN permitting the US to obtain a UN mandate for supporting South Korea. Overall, the Communists were not permitted to absorb South Korea and in response the Chinese prevented the US from absorbing North Korea into South Korea. Commander of all Chinese Communist forces was Peng Dehuai who held the position from the start to the end of the war.
