Korean Armistice Agreement (1953)
On the Mao’s China map as “Panmunjom”
27 Jul 1953 — After two years of talks, stalled above all on whether prisoners could refuse to go home, the armistice is signed. About 14,000 Chinese prisoners chose Taiwan over repatriation. China’s dead number about 198,000 by Beijing’s latest count and as many as 400,000 by other estimates.
