The Korean War offered the United States an opportunity to change its Taiwan policy and gave the desperate Taiwan authorities a straw to clutch at. On June 29, 1950, Chiang Kai-Shek passed on a message to the US government through its representative Gu Weijun that the Taiwan authorities were willing to send 33,000 ground troops to fight in South Korea. The Truman administration rejected Chiang’s offer. For one thing, the United States did not want to expand the war. For another, it did not have faith in the KMT (Kuomintang) troops.

The Korean War offered the United States an opportunity to change its Taiwan policy and gave the desperate Taiwan authorities a straw to clutch at. On June 29, 1950, Chiang Kai-Shek passed on a message to the US government through its representative Gu Weijun that the Taiwan authorities were willing to send 33,000 ground troops to fight in South Korea. The Truman administration rejected Chiang’s offer. For one thing, the United States did not want to expand the war. For another, it did not have faith in the KMT (Kuomintang) troops.
