the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) carries out a crackdown on counter-revolutionary movements, aiming to eliminate various personnel that threaten the regime, resulting in about 2,000,000 deaths.
Between 1950 and 1953, China dispatched troops to support North Korea against South Korea and the United Nations Command, becoming one of the major external wars China participated in after 1949.
After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, the U.S. Seventh Fleet established the Taiwan Strait Patrol Force. Destroyers and capital ships conducted routine patrols in the Taiwan Strait, deterring conflict and ensuring the strait remained open to international navigation, which laid the foundation for nearly two decades of peace in the Taiwan Strait.
In June 1950, the Agrarian Reform Law of the People's Republic of China was promulgated, and land reform rolled out across rural areas nationwide. Although the original intent was to distribute landlords' land to poor peasants, in actual implementation it evolved into a bloody and violent plundering feast, with numerous landlords stripped of their land and killed. Death tolls estimated by various scholars range between 200,000 and 2 million.
After the Korean War began in June 1950, a long-term policy reality formed among the United States, Taiwan, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): the mainland and Taiwan were treated as two separate political entities. Since then, in handling the Taiwan Strait issue, the U.S. has not viewed Taiwan's status as having been finalized by any international document, but has instead continued to make policy arrangements surrounding cross-strait relations, the use of force, and Taiwan's political future.
On June 25, 1950, the Korean People's Army crossed the 38th parallel southward, and the Korean War broke out; in October of the same year, China entered the war.
The CCP launched a nationwide land reform movement, inciting hatred and violence, which resulted in the massacre of approximately 2 million landlords and their families.
After the outbreak of the Korean War in late June 1950, U.S. President Truman declared the Taiwan Strait neutral, blocking either side of the strait from attacking the other.
