Let's find out about Sino-Vietnamese(China-Vietnam) War

After the United States and China established diplomatic ties, the Sino-Vietnamese war began.

To summarize the chronology

December 1978 Vietnam invaded Cambodia. (It ends in one month.)

January 1979 the United States and China have diplomatic relations.

February 1979 Sino-Vietnamese war began.

Neither Soviet nor American Cold War relations nor the same social communist countries fought.

Cambodia is friendly with China. and Vietnam is friendly with soviet

And the cause of this war can be summarized in several ways.

1. Vietnam has historically dominated China over a thousand years.

(Vietnamese people hate Chinese.)

2. As Vietnam became communist, many Chinese were deprived of property or died.

(Many of the boat people were Chinese.)

3. Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia are pro-China regimes.

China is promoting the liberation of Cambodia both internally and externally, and the war begins on February 17, 1979, when a border dispute begins.

But China suffered from a decade of extremist socialist movement led by Chinese supreme leader Mao Zedong for ten years from 1966 to 1976.

Many skilled soldiers are purged, equipment is old, tactics and manuals are also out of date.

But the Vietnam army was a warrior who fought against the United States.

The Vietnamese army was in Cambodia and the border was empty.

The border with Vietnam and Cambodia is a thousand kilometers away.

China predicted that it would soon invade Hanoi.

The northern part of Vietnam is difficult to move large troops with tropical mountainous terrain.

The Chinese army mobilized a total of 200,000 troops including the reserve army

Armored power of 400 aircraft, such as 100 aircraft, 59 tanks, 62 tanks and 63 tanks, and 63 armored vehicles is used.

The Vietnamese army mobilized around 180,000 troops with a small number of border guards and militia and mobilized a handful of armored vehicles, including 40 aircraft, Soviet T-34/85 tanks, US M113 armored vehicles and 63 Chinese armored vehicles.

The Chinese forces push into the tactics Human wave to break through the jungle region of northern Vietnam.

The Vietnamese army deployed Viet Cong residents in the military position, installed various booby traps, and conducted guerilla warfare with the jungle.

In addition, the Vietnamese army used Soviet anti-tank missiles to defeat 13 Chinese warplanes in the first 24 hours

It also shot down Chinese aircrafts, which were initially in their 15s.

Unlike China, which promised to be the first to speak out, the march was delayed and the damage was serious.

Considering that the regular army is fighting with the militia, it was quite a war with the militia.

China, using its troops, broke through the Vietnam line of defense and occupied Langeon, a key site about 40 km from the border on March 6.

Since then, China has unilaterally announced that it will withdraw because it has achieved its punitive purpose.

The Vietnam-China War is over.

There are several reasons why the war could have been this way.

1. The Soviets did not look back at attacking the pro-Soviet Vietnam.

  China, which had already been involved in the Soviet-Chinese border dispute, knows that the Soviet Union will not be able to cope with the full-scale intervention.

2. China, suffered from Cultural Revolution, was unable to do a long war.

3. The purpose was to bring the Vietnamese army occupying Cambodia back to the northern border area

   Rather than returning the regular army, they were opposed to the militia.

Due to the nature of the socialist state, there is a tendency to exaggerate, so it is impossible to count the exact deaths,

The Chinese army estimates as many as 26,000

The Vietnamese army estimates 30,000 civilians.

Other resources are similar to those of China and Vietnam, or slightly more in Vietnam

Vietnam is an irregular army, and considering that the size of the army that mobilized China is large, it is true that China actually lost.

However, apart from the end of the war, there were conflicts with the Vietnam-China small highlands throughout the eighties



1988: China-Vietnam Peace Agreement Begins



1989: Vietnam withdraws from Cambodia



1991: Chinese-Vietnamese diplomatic relations



1999: Border agreement to define the land border between China and Vietnam



After the start of the peace treaty in 1988, there was a small conflict, and it became completely lull after the handover.



For reference, North Korea is at a time when it is in favor of China, and Vietnam and North Korea are still in bad shape.

In time, China and Vietnam disputes again in May 2011 regarding the development of submarine gas in Nansei Islands.

The Vietnamese Resource Surveyor was involved in an accident in the Nanseo Islands, where sea cables were disconnected due to interference with the Chinese maritime lanes.

Of course I was not in Vietnam to be quiet.

On June 21, the prime minister signed a protest against the war,

Vietnam has urged China to permit the arrival of American aircraft carriers in Vietnam's port.

China withdraws.
