Tian Wuxiong, a Ph.D. candidate in modern history at Peking University, has produced a nicely nuanced view of the withdrawal of the Chinese People’s Volunteers from the North. Tian has a good grasp of the Chinese historiography and produced a paper, entitled “Different Intentions with One Voice: The Making of Chinese Troops’ Withdrawal Package from the DPRK in 1958 / 同声异汽：中国1958年从朝鲜全部退军方案的形成” published by Harvard Working Paper series.
For my full read-out of the Tian Wuxiong article and why one ought today to be looking back to the 1950s, see my new essay at Sino-NK.
