China send tons of aids to Cambodia resistance forces and thailand
We don't care who invaded who. CCP's war with Vietnam prevented the VCs from taking over Thailand and marching down jiuhu to capture Singapore.
Lots of dead VCs and CCPs to keep sinkies safe.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ah Gong stirred Vietnam and China into bashing each other on the SAF's behalf.
Not possible lah, because unofficially Uk standby it's Vuclan Bomber Fleet with special special end-the-world package at it's Far East Command - to send Hanoi back to stone age if absolute necessary
Aussie and NZ also send their units to SG ans Butterworth.
AMDK driven 5 power defence pact also play its part
Cambodia
Main article: Cambodian–Vietnamese WarAlthough the Vietnamese Communists and the Khmer Rouge had previously cooperated, the relationship deteriorated when Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot came to power and established Democratic Kampuchea on 17 April 1975. The People's Republic of China, on the other hand, also supported the Maoist Khmer Rouge against Lon Nol's regime during the Cambodian Civil War and its subsequent take-over of Cambodia. China provided extensive political, logistical and military support for the Khmer Rouge during its rule.[42] After numerous clashes along the border between Vietnam and Cambodia, and with encouragement from Khmer Rouge defectors fleeing purges of the Eastern Zone, Vietnam invaded Cambodia on 25 December 1978. By 7 January 1979 Vietnamese forces had entered Phnom Penh and the Khmer Rouge leadership had fled to western Cambodia. The offensive took the Chinese by surprise, and its Phnom Penh embassy fled to the jungle with the Khmer Rouge where it remained for 15 days.[43]
However, the fall of the Khmer Rouge was not a surprise, but from China's perspective, Vietnam's occupation of Cambodia threatened China's interests on the Indochina peninsula and its position among non-communist Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) states of Southeast Asia.[44] Members of ASEAN saw Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia as a blatant violation of international borders and an act of aggression.[45]
Ethnic minorities
Main articles: United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races, FULRO insurgency against Vietnam, Degar, and Hmong insurgencyChina supported the ethnic minority United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races against Vietnam during the FULRO insurgency against Vietnam.[citation needed]
The Vietnamese executed collaborators who worked for the Chinese, regardless of ethnicity.[46]
The Chinese received a significant number of defectors from the Thu Lao ethnic minority in Vietnam during the war.[47] During the war China received as migrants the entire A Lù based population of the Phù Lá ethnic minority.[48] China received so many defectors from the ethnic minorities in Vietnam that it raised shock among Vietnam which had to launch a new effort to re-assert dominance over the ethnic minorities and classify them.[49] Post Vietnam War, an insurgency against Vietnam lasted among the indigenous Mon-Khmer and Malayo-Polynesians of the Central Highlands.[50] Assistance was sought from China by the Hmong ethnic minority.[51] The border was frequently crossed by Chinese, Lao, Kinh, Hmong, Yao, Nung, and Tai.[52] The Laotian Hmong and FULRO were both supported against Vietnam by China and Thailand.[46][53]
China attacks Vietnam
China, now under Deng Xiaoping, was starting the Chinese economic reform and opening trade with the West, in turn, growing increasingly defiant of the Soviet Union. China grew concerned about the strong Soviet influence in Vietnam, fearing that Vietnam could become a pseudo-protectorate of the Soviet Union.[54] Vietnam's claim to be the world's third largest military power following its victory in the Vietnam War also increased Chinese apprehensions.[54] In the Chinese view, Vietnam was pursuing a regional hegemonic policy in an attempt to control Indochina.[54] In July 1978, the Chinese Politburo discussed possible military action against Vietnam in order to disrupt Soviet deployments and, two months later, PLA General Staff recommended punitive actions against Vietnam.[54]The major breakdown in the Chinese view of Vietnam occurred in November 1978.[54] Vietnam joined the CMEA and, on 3 November, the Soviet Union and Vietnam signed a 25-year mutual defense treaty, which made Vietnam the "linchpin" in the Soviet Union's "drive to contain China"[55] (however, the Soviet Union had shifted from open animosity towards more normalized relations with China soon after).[56] Vietnam called for a special relationship between the three Indochinese countries, but the Khmer Rouge regime of Democratic Kampuchea rejected the idea.[54] On 25 December 1978, Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea, overrunning most of the country, deposing the Khmer Rouge, and installing Heng Samrin as the head of the new Cambodian government.[57] The move antagonized China, which now viewed the Soviet Union as capable of encircling its southern border.[58]
On 29 January 1979, Chinese Vice-premier Deng Xiaoping visited the United States for the first time and told U.S. 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).[59] Deng sought an endorsement from the United States in order to deter the Soviet Union from intervening when China launched a punitive attack against Vietnam.[58] He informed Carter that China could not accept Vietnam's "wild ambitions" and was prepared to teach it a lesson.[58] According to United States National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter reserved judgment, an action which Chinese diplomats interpreted as tacit approval.[58]
Deng returned to China on 8 February 1979, and on 9 February, made the final decision to invade Vietnam.[60] On 15 February, the first day that China could have officially announced the termination of the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, Deng Xiaoping declared that China planned to conduct a limited attack on Vietnam. Thus, he further developed China's burgeoning cooperation with the United States against the Soviet Union and would take a similar stance later regarding Afghanistan.[61]According to academic Suisheng Zhao, "The proximity in the timing of the military thrust [against Vietnam] to take advantage of the normalization to bluff the Soviets with a nonexistent US endorsement."[60]
The reason cited for the attack was to support China's ally, the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia, in addition to the mistreatment of Vietnam's ethnic Chinese minority and the Vietnamese occupation of the Spratly Islands which were claimed by China. To prevent Soviet intervention on Vietnam's behalf, Deng warned Moscow the next day that China was prepared for a full-scale war against the Soviet Union; in preparation for this conflict, China put all of its troops along the Sino-Soviet border on an emergency war alert, set up a new military command in Xinjiang, and even evacuated an estimated 300,000 civilians from the Sino-Soviet border.[62] In addition, the bulk of China's active forces (as many as one-and-a-half million troops) were stationed along China's border with the Soviet Union
Viet went to war and invaded cambodia due to cambodia attacked viet...
Because viet protected cambodia opposition party who was against Khmer Rouge regime. and harbour some fugitives from cambodia.
But cambodia was angry and invaded vietnam...
So viet fought back and invade cambodia...
Cambodia lost the war and seek china aid...
China wanted to invade vietnam to make viet retreat troops from cambodia...
but viet refuse to back up...
Out of the 7 regiments from viet, only one regiments hold china 36 regiments of troops... thought almost the whole 7th regiments was decimated, china 36 regiment took heavy damage and was force to retreat from viet before its true purpose...
You mean pol pot's Khmer rouge.
The border until today remains forested and hilly. Vietcongs like these terrains. Cannot fight conventional warfare.
Long ago An Nam was a half S. The lower part from nha trang was conquered. Thatz why you could see relics of cambodian temples and structures in many viet provinces.
Viet in the past did take over the lands of Cambodia but the events prior to 1979 Sino -Viet war were more a self defence than invasion. I don't think they were good enough to take over Thailand and Malaysia. They just wanted to stop Khmer Rouge an entity supported by Tiong Cock CP.
The lower half were champa malays. Their ancient budhist/ Hindu relics still remains in Da Nang area mostly. They are currently Muslims.
Khmers also have malay population. They speak something like kelantanese dialect. Khmer malay refugees who are mostly moslems headed to kelantan when escaping from Khmer atrocities. They were especially targeted for annihilation by Chinese led Khmer rouge.
They stopped th
They stopped the Khmer rouge atrocities and were never appreciated by asean. Or acknowledged.
That was when Tiongcock just woke up from their slumber.
Tiong kok can bombard Vietnam from a safe distance currently. But if they go in, I am not sure if they can survive the onslaught in the jungle.
