At the bottom of the article it lists 2 dates where people throw subtle jabs with recipes for egg fried rice. The date for his birthday at the top is given as October 24th but the story states October 23rd. Is there a reason for that or is it an error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C48:7A7F:70B4:7D2A:7B23:F059:CAA0 (talk) 16:32, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rank

It's entirely dubious that he could hold the rank "General" considering ranks were not even established in the PLA until 1955. It should be removed unless a reliable source could be found.

Also, this Paul Noll guy's own bio shows nothing that hints at historian training, and his site has no citations of any kind, and he's obviously not a primary source. Shouldn't he fall under WP:BLOGS?

It's true Mao AnYing was killed in the headquarter of Chinese Voluntary Army, but this doesn't imply he was killed 'accidently', it just means even the headquarter of the army was not a safe place during Korea war, considering the U.S. airplanes had totally controlled the air and could hit the headquarter anytime.

Also the speculation that if Mao AnYing was not killed, China could be somthing like today's Korea is also groundless. This ignored the power structure of Chinese politics at that time. Mao Zedong later actually selected his nephew, Mao Yuanxing, as his heir. However, Mao Yuanxing was promptly arrested, together with Jiang Qing, Mao's wife, soon after Mao's death.

Your reasoning seems actually to support the speculation. Lacking a viable heir, Mao was forced to select his nephew. Lacking time for proper politically and military grooming (intended for Anying), no wonder he was arrested promptly in a coup. Anyway added the mention that Anying was killed in the headquater, another indication that Mao sent him to Korea not for the actual fighting, but for political grooming — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.65.29.46 (talk) 14:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strange, I thought Mao selected Hua Guofeng as his successor? 77.44.49.36 (talk) 12:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mao chose Hua Guofeng as his successor, never his nephew. The prompt arrest of Yuanxin after Mao's demise showed the exact reason why Mao would risk putting his son in a war: he needed to groom his son to gain enough political and military background in order to carry on with his political legacy. Otherwise,as shown in Yuanxin's example, the senior party and army officials could easily depose him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.243.169.71 (talk) 08:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I searched for Chinese websites on the incident and most of them give the number of casualties of 2: Mao AnYing and Gao RuiXin(高瑞欣). I am not sure if those are considered reliable sources, so I'll let someone else do a proper research. -su88 (talk) 03:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only unit operating the B-26 in Korea at the time was the 3rd Bomb Group?

The article says “The only unit operating the B-26 in Korea at the time was the 3rd Bomb Group” without a citation. National Museum of the United States Air Force says the 452 Bombardment Group also operated B-26 in Korea. Is there a reason to exclude 452d here? Happyseeu (talk) 13:35, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
