What would be the consequences have been if the Truman Administration, when committing to fight to defend South Korea in late June 1950, decided not to also undertake the ancillary action of "neutralizing" Taiwan. WI instead it keeps its forces and personnel out of the Chinese Civil War, leaving the Chinese Communists on the one hand free to possibly invade Taiwan, and leaving the Chinese Nationalists on the other hand free to continue their ongoing raids and blockades against the Chinese mainland?
Further, suppose that the Inchon assault is still launched as in OTL, and the US/UN forces still pursue the North Korean forces between the 38th parallel and Yalu river [unless their ability to do this s butterflied away].
How likely is Communist China's intervention in Korea?
I encourage you to answer the poll and explain your rationale for your vote.
