I understand that the US told the Soviet Union that if the war continued they would use nuclear weapons. This is what stopped the war.
A US academic who was a lecturer at the war college wrote a book in which he said that the US has not won a war since WW2; implying that the US did not win in Korea.
The USA had already stationed nuclear armed bombers in the Pacific. Mao had dismissed nuclear threats from the US by calling it a paper tiger.
The USSR feared a totally confident China would undermine them. They probably thought a Korea completely taken by China could mean China as a potential rival to the USSR in Asia. Who knows. The Soviets were a slippery bunch and were always up to no good.
