Far Eastern Command (FEC) intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Charles A.
Willoughby, continued to insist, despite the CCF attacks at Unsan and
similar attacks against X Corps in northeastern Korea, that the Chinese
would not intervene in force.

Sept. 27, 1950 - The British intelligence learns of a Chinese military
council decision to intervene in Korea. US ignores this information.
Simultaneously Chou announces publicly that "China will send troops
across the frontier to participate in defense o f North Korea." The
hawks at the State Dept. led by Acheson and Rusk label Chou's statement a
"bravado - part of a joint Soviet-Chinese diplomatic effort to save
the North Korean regime." This arrogance (or ignorance) is shared by
the CIA.
