Most people don't know that the Chinese were in headlong retreat when Truman decided to "let them save face" and halted the UN (read US) Army at about the old 38th parallel where it all had started. By some accounts it took the Reds three days to realize they weren't being chased and come back to fortify what became the DMZ shown in the picture. Some of the worst battles like Porkchop Hill occurred after that.
MacArthur had long since been fired, but he wanted to run their asses back to China and keep on going to find Mao and hang him. When that was denied he proposed sowing a 20-mile strip along the Yalu River border with radioactive isotopes so nothing could walk across it for 100 years. The world would have been different.
