  Manchuria

 CHAPTER XIII: The Chinese Take a Hand
The Chinese Communist government reputedly was labeling these troops "volunteers." The Sinuiju radio had announced that these troops formed the "Volunteer Corps for the Protection of the Hydroelectric Zone" and had entered Korea expressly to prevent the destruction of hydroelectric facilities along the Yalu.
Chinese troops could be committed without being attacked effectively by air because of the short distances from the river to the front lines.
Without accepting the theory that the Chinese troops in Korea were volunteers, the Joint Chiefs expressed the opinion that such a view was feasible in the event that the Chinese merely wanted to gain time for the defeated and disorganized remnants of the North Korean Army.

 Montreal Mirror : Restaurants : Resto : Manchuria Dumpling King
I've had an interest in northern Chinese cuisine since visiting the great Niu Kee restaurant in Chinatown (corner of St-Laurent and de la Gauchetière) a couple of years ago.
Manchuria Dumpling King, which opened a year or so ago on St-Mathieu, not far from Concordia, offers quite a few northern - or north-eastern - dishes, along with the wide variety of dumplings from whence the place gets its name.
Since I rarely come across that particular meat in Chinese restaurants, and because we were eager to see just what these hedgehog mushrooms were all about, we took her advice, also throwing in the Manchuria-style crispy pork spare ribs ($9.99) for good measure.

 INTERVIEW WITH JOHN PATON DAVIES - 14/1/97
JPD: No, because Manchuria was vital to the Chinese; Manchuria has been the battleground between the Russians and the Chinese, the Chinese and the Japanese, and the Russians and the Japanese.
And as MacArthur brashly drove north towards the Manchurian border, the Chinese were bound to react, as would have the Russians had we advanced toward the part of Manchuria to the northeast of the Yalu.
But I had put it in a general caveat in one of my papers, if I remember correctly, that the Russians were very dangerous if we were to advance towards their area of interest in Manchuria, and the Russians and Chinese, which I lumped together.
