Another Korea War Tread

We had a tread on increased bombing turned into a bomb China tread, risking dragging in USSR, and we had a tread on US invasions of China. It would make US face a country with huge manpower resources. Both has huge risks to say the least.

But what about commando style raids on mainland China. (And the WWII commando raids where pretty large, and the US could launch even bigger I assume.) They would also have the advantage of ship artillery and carieer based airsupport.

I don't see a direct risk of escalation, USSR couln't move forces quick enough to respond to the attack. Long term, it sets a president but only as a response against a large scale attack on ones forces.

And neither will the Chinese manpower reserve come into play, their forces are to sperad out and I don't think they could move their forces fast enough.
 
Mate, there actually OTL were such US/UN covert ops into NK, which all to my knowledge ended up failures (a couple of books on the subject are now avail at Borders). Would similar such raids into mainland PRC itself have ended up the same way ?
