I pretty much agree with you. They where a mid level power, not a major power yet. Beating them in Korea would have been expensive but was doable. It would be even more doable if we didn't place China itself almost totally off limits to attack (its coast would have been vulnerable to air power, or if we didn't want to go that far we could have allowed full time unrestricted attacks against the bases near Korea that they used to support their Korean war effort), but the concern was that the USSR might get involved if we did that.
