Explanation:

China's involvement in the Korean - War was inevitable. Geopolitical security was at stake as the proximity of UN forces to China's border posed a direct threat to China's national security. The security of the northeastern industrial base, which was crucial for China's post - liberation reconstruction, was at risk. Additionally, China had a moral and ideological obligation to support North Korea, a socialist neighbor.

Answer:

China's involvement was inevitable. The proximity of UN forces to China's border threatened China's national security, especially the security of its northeastern industrial base. Also, there were moral and ideological reasons to support North Korea.
