How did the outcome of China's civil war affect the US response to North Koreans attack?

The outcome of China's civil war, which resulted in the establishment of the communist People's Republic of China in 1949, heightened U.S. concerns about the spread of communism in Asia. This led the United States to adopt a more aggressive stance in the region, particularly in Korea. When North Korea attacked South Korea in 1950, the U.S. viewed the conflict as a crucial front in the broader Cold War struggle against communism, prompting an immediate military response under the auspices of the United Nations. The U.S. intervention was influenced by the fear that a communist victory in Korea would embolden other communist movements throughout Asia.
