but that would in line of Chinese involvment in north korea prior to Thanksgiving offensive ... but would the PRC launched a major offensive by their "volountear army" had the US forces crossed into the North and topple the Hanoi government?

For some reason I dont think they wanted a second Korean War. The nuclear teeth of the paper-tiger was greatly feared and China was amidst its revolutions farcry from its energetic days of Korean War when the PRC was only one year old.
