But have you considered “whiteman good, chinaman bad”?
That second Chinese one tho
Overall it was a shitshow. Vietnam also ethnically cleansed its chinese minority and there was fighting at t he border because it was pretty much indefined. Furthermore, Vietnam ahd close ties to the USSR, with which China had recently broken. Thus China saw itself between the allied stated of Vietnam and USSR.
Fittingly the resulting border war also was a total shitshow. A few PLA divisions pushing into Vietnam, without artillery or air support. Vietnam defended with local militias as its army was in Cambodia. China occupied some border cities, but took severe losses, then it went home. The vietnamese militias were excellent fighters but lacked heavy arms, so all they could do is delay the chinese (which they did admirably). Both sides claimed victory and the relations between the two countries were in the gutter until a few years ago.
And still the libs insist that we’re “campist” simps for Xitler and would never allow any criticisms of China.
now that we have closed venezuelan airspace you can add them to the list, because thats an act of war

Americans should worry less about what is or isn’t on China’s list and focus on addressing their own.
B-but… America good… China stinky… Democrats told me so…
South China Sea? Granted building a military base in another country’s waters isn’t technically an attack but … come on.
Also Tibet. Whether or not it was a legitimate “state” it was definitely an “other nation”.
The claims in the South China Sea overlap. Some islands are claimed by Brunai, Malasia and the Philipines, others are claimed by the PRC and the Philipines.
The military bases are less because of claims but because the US is sending its warships through this area all the time in a “nice trade routes you have here, would be sad if someone did something about them…”-move.
Tibet was a part of China, it was essentially a warlord territory. With the warlord being the Dalai Lhama. It did not consider itself “other nation”, which is obvious from the fact that its regime did agree to join the PRC. Both sides came to an accord regarding the conditions, most importantly Tibet had to abolish slavery within a agreed uppon timeframe. The Lhama regime did not do so, thus peaceful unification was off the table and the PLA did the unifying.
1:Tibet is absolutely not an other nation, having been officially part of China for multiple dynasties before the Revolution.
2: I’m pretty sure the people there are happier with schools, hospitals and running water than as illiterate medieval slave-serfs to a despotic class of torturing, r*pist landlord-priests

Tibet had a different language, culture, government than the Republic of China.

Didn’t say Tibet was a good nation, just an “other nation”.

I find it hard to believe that imperial china didnt invade anyone between 598 ad and 1912
Notice the flags? This is not about imperial China, it is about the PRC.
Or are you one of the weirdos who also thinks Russian Empire = USSR = Russian Federation?
Notice the war in 598? The one mislabeled as a war of defence? When the Sui dynasty invaded Korea?
Are you one of those weirdos that doesn’t bother to look stuff up instead of reposting?
