Why did China Attack On Vietnam ?

After the People’s Republic of China captured the Paracel Archipelago in 1974, and in 1976 a single Vietnamese state appeared on the world map, the contradictions between the People’s Republic of China and Vietnam were heated up to the limit, the air smelled of war.

In addition, by the beginning of the 1970s, once warm relations between the “brothers forever”, the USSR and China, had finally turned into cold ones. This split the once united camp of socialism.

Realizing his plans, Mao Zedong etched out from the memory of the Chinese what help the USSR provided to their country. Although, many remembered this.

Mao Zedong’s policies bore fruit; supporters of Soviet-Chinese friendship in the CCP were repressed, expelled, arrested, or killed.

The state pursued a policy of demonization of the USSR, of pre-revolutionary – tsarist Russia. They accused her of constant aggression, the seizure of “Chinese” territories, etc. etc.

And Mao Zedong gathered enormous power in the hands of the party and state.

For reference: in China, the highest position is the Secretary General of the CPC Central Committee – the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (from 1943 to 1982 – Chairman of the CPC Central

But at meetings with foreign leaders, for example, the incumbent head of state, Xi Jinping, introduces himself as Chairman of the PRC.

Also, the PRC’s actions led to armed clashes with the USSR in 1969, on Damansky Island and near Lake Zhalanashkol.

It is not surprising that the USSR and the socialist Vietnam, which survived thanks to his help, became closer.

 

Vietnam, on the other hand, was subject to strong pressure from the PRC in all spheres – the economy, diplomacy, etc. Among about 1 million Chinese living in Vietnam, underground organizations were set up to collect information and sabotage.

After the Vietnamese forces overthrew the pro-Chinese Khmer Rouge regime in Kampuchea (Cambodia) in 1978, this provoked a sharp reaction from the PRC, looking for a reason to “deal” with Vietnam.

For reference: Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge established such a regime in Cambodia that they outdid many in their cruelty.

With the support of the PRC and Chinese “advisers,” Pol Pot and his associates launched a series of crazy “experiments” in Kampuchea, which essentially resulted in genocide against their own people. According to various estimates, from 1 to 3 million people died as a result of the construction of “agrarian socialism”.

The Khmer Rouge is China’s counterbalance to Vietnam’s influence, and Vietnam is the USSR’s counterbalance to China’s influence.

Although all 3 states: the USSR, China and Vietnam are communist.

Therefore, ideology is ideology, and the goals and interests of all are different.

Taking advantage of the fact that the most combat-ready units of the Vietnamese troops were in Cambodia (until 1989), the PRC invaded Vietnam in the spring of 1979. The number of Chinese invasion forces was about 250 thousand people, Vietnamese – about 100 thousand.

But, to the surprise of the Chinese leaders, headed by Deng Xiaoping, the Vietnamese put up stubborn resistance, which led to the disruption of the plans of the Chinese command.

This was largely due to the fact that the people of Vietnam, who stood up against the French and Americans, were ready to stand up for their independence. Many units had serious combat experience. Unlike the Chinese noobs.

Then, under pressure from the USSR, hostilities subsided, although skirmishes continued until the end of the 1980s.

As a result, China, after all, seized the territory in the north and part of the Spratly Islands from Vietnam.

On 29 January 1979, Chinese Vice-premier Deng Xiaoping visited the United States for the first time and told American president Jimmy Carter: "The child is getting naughty, it is time he got spanked" (小朋友不听话,该打打屁股了).

...

In February 1979 the cross-border shelling and infantry skirmishing escalated into a full-scale conflict as the Chinese poured across the border to ''teach Vietnam a lesson,'' as the action was described by Deng Xiaoping, the pre-eminent leader in Peking.

...

Earlier this year (1985), at the height of the five-month dry season, Chinese officials spoke openly of teaching Vietnam ''a second lesson,'' and diplomats in Peking went on the alert for signs of another full-scale war.

Reason: Vietnam chose the Soviet Union over China and deposed the genocidal Chinese lapdog Pol Pot. China responded through the use of force.

The border was frequently crossed by Chinese, Lao, Kinh, Hmong, Yao, Nung, and Tai. The Laotian, Hmong and FULRO were both supported against Vietnam by China and Thailand.

R9F - Tai speakers - Chinese asskissers.

@dadadas Tai speakers want to be Chinese so bad 🤣. According to Chins. Tai speakers are Chinese and must be reunited with the mainland.

Outside China, the Kra–Dai languages are now classified as an independent family. In China, they are called Zhuang–Dong languages and are generally included, along with the Hmong–Mien languages, in the Sino-Tibetan family.

Tais like to be seen as having some connection with the Chinks. Well i guess they do have some relation with Huineng but not the Chinks from the northern plain.

@dadadas This can work to our advantage. Once white people divide China into pieces. Tai people can reclaim their land from southern China. Chinese asskissers will disappear real quick once the Chankaro has been cuckold.

Most Chins see Vietnam as a slipped Chinese territory. Absorption of Vietnam will proceed once Taiwan is conquered and white people are kicked out of Asia.

@james Chink media potrays Vietnam as "the white eyed wolf" (Báiyǎn láng). Sino-Vietnamese pronounciation: Bạch nhãn lang.

Basically a wild animal that has no goodness in its heart and will ultimately turn against the humans who feed it.

@dadadas I carry "Bạch nhãn lang" as a badge of honor while the Chinese carry the Chankaro Sars Covid-19 title as an honor.

After Russia doesn't need the Chins anymore. The white-eyed wolf will belong to the Russians.

Deng: You know, it’s a good thing that no Communist party feels itself to be patriarchally at the center of the movement — that there’s no center, no boss. At the outset, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union filled that role, but it is no longer the party led by Lenin. It is no accident that we regard the Soviet Union as an imperialist country and… yes, imperialist — socialist-imperialist. And since the country led by that party has become an imperialist country, it’s questionable if that party can still be considered a Communist party.

Fallaci: Yes, I wasn’t really alluding to that so much as the fact that today, in the world, the only armed conflicts are between Communist countries. For Christ’s sake! — leaving the Arabs to one side, on the other side there is no one country that hates another country with the same irreducible fervor that Communist countries seem to feel for each other. The Soviet Union against China, and vice versa; China against Vietnam, and vice versa; Vietnam against Cambodia, and vice versa… I said the same thing to Berlinguer.

Deng: Do you want to talk about the Vietnamese? Look, from a globally strategic point of view, the Vietnamese are merely following in the Soviet Union’s footsteps. As I always say, they’ve become the Cuba of the East. Isn’t it proof enough that they’ve occupied Laos and Cambodia? What else do you need to see before you ask, “What the hell kind of country is this?” We Chinese are completely unable to understand why they’ve opposed themselves to us. During their struggle for independence, we helped them greatly. We never abandoned them — never. Nor did we interfere with their internal affairs. Do you even know the kind of help we gave them over the years? The aid we sent is, comprehensively, about $20 billion. And we never asked anything in return. I’ll say this: $20 billion is a lot of money for a poor country like China.

Fallaci: But then you killed each other in a conflict that amounted to a small war.

Deng: Yes, it’s true that we launched a defensive counterattack against them. But, judging by the results, I don’t think that it was very effective. We were too contained; we saw that many countries were against this action, and as a result we were too contained. But the episode proved how determined we are to chastise the tiger. And we reserve the right to chastise the tiger again.

Vietnam won the border war since Deng saw the invasion didnt bring the results he wanted and warned Vietnam of another invasion.

China was mad because Vietnam snubbed them for the Soviets. China had given Vietnam much aid in their fight against the French.
