During the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur advocated for bombing China to target its supply lines and military infrastructure, believing it would help turn the tide in favor of UN forces. He felt that the Chinese intervention in Korea was a major threat and sought to expand military operations beyond the Korean Peninsula. However, this proposal faced significant opposition from President Harry Truman and other U.S. officials, who were concerned about escalating the conflict into a broader war. Ultimately, MacArthur's recommendations led to tensions between him and the Truman administration, culminating in his dismissal in April 1951.

General Douglas MacArthur believed that the United States should consider military action against China during the Korean War, particularly after Chinese troops intervened in support of North Korea. He advocated for a more aggressive strategy, which included the possibility of bombing Chinese bases and supply lines. MacArthur's stance was controversial and led to tensions with President Harry S. Truman, ultimately resulting in his dismissal in 1951.
General Matthew Ridgway replaced General Douglas MacArthur as the commander of the Allied forces in Korea. Ridgway took command in April 1951, following MacArthur's dismissal by President Harry S. Truman. Under Ridgway's leadership, the United Nations forces managed to stabilize the front lines and conduct successful counteroffensives against North Korean and Chinese forces.
