I remember in 1979 when the enemy declared that they would march to Ha Noi in 1 day
We bitch slapped them and their Khmer Rouge ally. We stayed in Cambodia for 10 years and established a democracy republic of Cambodia that still stands today. We put 5 divisions in Laos in 1987 to save Laos from being reannexed by the Thai and our Laotian friends are still grateful for that till today.
The author is probably one of those non-Chinese who never knows that Vietnam has won every military conflict against China since 938 A.D (938, 981, 1076, 1427, 1789, 1979). I don't even count the 3 semi Mongol-Chinese invasions that we defeated them in 1258, 1285, 1288. While the rest of the world is being proud of beating a few banana republics, we have a history of beating countries who are 50 times larger than us. We talk the talk and walk the walk throughout our history. We will continue to carry the legacy of our ancestors
