Sino-Vietnamese War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Result :
- Chinese Withdrawal
- Continued Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia
- Border clashes between China and Vietnam
Strength

China : 200,000+ (later increased to 400,000[1]) PLA infantry and 400 tanks from Kunming and Guangzhou Military Districts[2]
Vietnam : 70,000–100,000 regular force, 150,000 local troops and militia[3]

Casualties

China : 26,000 killed, 37,000 wounded and 420 tanks destroyed[4]
Vietnam : 30,000 killed, 32,000 wounded and 185 tanks destroyed[6]

The Sino-Vietnamese war was a disaster for China, because they lost 26K troops in a month and having achieved nothing.
China's achievement was fighting a war in other country's territory so our own territory is not destroyed. We learned this from WW2. That's why we choose to proxy fight USA in Korea and proxy fight USSR in Vietnam.

Chinese should thank to Vietnam, who had taught China a useful lesson. With the lesson, China realized their strategy "human wave" failure, so they have modernized their army to become a mighty army as today.:guns:

human wave is what Vietnam can do the best,cause the country has nothing but people.and most Vietnam officers in the 60s were trained in China,we even sent military consultants to teach Vietnam,Vietnam learned a lot from China.

Nope, most of them trained in USSR.
But our best generals was trained in Vietnam and did it themselves in front battles.

The human wave was all that China knew how. Nothing to brag about. It was so badly done at Điện Biên Phủ that Võ Nguyên Giáp nearly booted his Chinese advisors out of the valley.
 
For my own fun:
The so-called "Chinese dogs" invaded viet islands and land, the land of viet legally gifted to China, and the island, those viet are too scared and to weak to take back those islands lost not once but twice.
They're weaker then a "dog" and everything they can do is crying in the internet forum =)) because a whole country can't handle a dog.
My friend "Sin Pateh": the main point to talk to them is not to reason, just make fun or try something to hurt them, never agrue with them, first: they dodn't do that, and second: you waste your enegry to do that =))
Hey, that's your fellow country men words, not me =))

Thanks for viva_viet and the like, never offending others be so fun.
 
Vietnam Should own the spratlys because its closer to them.

Chinese objective failed after having lost 26,000 troops, so it was a disaster.

At least Vietnam tried to stop the Khmer Rouge's killing field in Cambodia, and China invaded Vietnam to help out Khmer Rouge! Thank God the justice was on Vietnam's side, and millions of Combodians owe their lives to Vietnam's courageous action.

Since China was the evil doer in Sino-Vietnamese war, they were bound to lose.

Look, the results of the Sino-Vietnamese war are clear. Geopolitically, China aligned with the US against USSR. China would align with US again in Afghanistan a few years later. China's incredible growth and prosperity during the last 30 years in a direct result of these two military action. Learn some realpolitik, so you don't sound like a teenager.

Nope, in fact we have modernized Vietnam's Navy, forces ready to beat "the dog" if it bite us once more.:enjoy:

"Human wave" is product of China only.
My brother, who fought against PLA in 1979 - 1986, said that, when Chinese troops entered the cannon battlefield of him, he saw very many bodies of Chinese soldiers were flew up and down by bullet cannon of Vietnam's forces.:fie:

militarily, we killed 100000 Viet civilians, destroyed billions in infrastructure, and dragged their economy down for 30 years. Then we took their islands, booted off their sailors into the ocean, and permanently occupy them. damn if we keep "failing" how long will it be until Vietnam ceases to exist?

maybe we should "fail" against Korea again, and reduce Seoul's population back to 50,000.

Those so-called 100000 Viet civilians were in the fact the militants under the civilian disguise.
