Preposition 'after'

Help me please understand the part of the sentence in bold:

Yesterday in the British mainstream newspaper The Financial Times on page 4, is a report that China has agreed to a US invasion as long as US troops pull back after any conflict to the 38 parallel.

Does it mean that China agrees to a US invasion until any conflict between South and North Korea takes place?

No, I think it means that China has agreed to a US invasion as long as it pulls back to the 38th parallel after the conflict rather than remaining in North Korea. org/wiki/Division_of_Korea
