SE Asia was a battle field. Anyone was against anyone. Vietnam was most vulnerable.Nationalistic Vietnamese always complain about Chinese aggression when Dai Viet was constantly warring with Champa,Ai Lao,Bon Man etc.
Nationalistic Vietnamese also love to claim to claim Chinese or Baiyue people such as Shennong or Goujian.
When Vietnam regained independence, we had a hostile China in the North, and a mighty enemy in the South: the Kingdom of Champa. To make thing worse, China and Champa had a master/vassal relationship, and they both were keen to eliminate the new established Kingdom of Vietnam. Little wonder, China ultimate goal was to end the independence of Vietnam and incorporate it back to the empire. We had no choice but to bring down Champa to break the encirclement.
The same goes to other enemies in other fronts.
Baiyue is a historic fact. Also, Nanyue/Nam Viet existed as a historic fact. I don´t mind if we both can agree to Nanyue was a Sino-Vietnamese Kingdom.
