The friendship between the two countries has dissolved into hatred, and the border dispute caused by historical entanglement.
The historical friendship and disputes between Vietnam and China are intertwined and intertwined over hundreds of years. From the initial vassal status to French colonial rule, to China's long-term selfless assistance, the relationship between the two countries has been tortuous, and has evolved into a border dispute that cannot be ignored today. In this article, we will revisit history and dissect the intricacies of contemporary Vietnamese-Chinese relations, as well as the multiple factors that led to the border dispute.
The history of Vietnam originates from ancient southern China, but since the beginning of the 17th century, the north and the south have been the two countries, and after the unification in 1802, the Qing Dynasty canonized the Jialing Emperor of Vietnam as the king of Annam. However, the French invasion and colonial rule broke this situation. After the signing of the Treaty of Saigon in 1872, Vietnam renounced its suzerainty with China and became a French colony. Since then, China and France have carried out many border surveys, and it was not until 1894 that the Sino-French Gui Border Crossing Treaty completed the demarcation of the boundary between China and Guangzhou.
In the middle of the 20th century, during the period of friendship between China and Vietnam, the border issue did not cause serious disputes. However, after Vietnam's reunification, there was a marked change in its attitude toward China. First of all, the discrimination and misrepresentation of overseas Chinese in Vietnam has led to a large number of overseas Chinese in trouble. Although China has repeatedly advised Vietnam to stop its anti-Chinese behavior, it has been ignored by Vietnam**. In 1977, there was a large-scale expulsion of overseas Chinese, which made Sino-Vietnamese relations even worse.
China's enormous and selfless assistance to Vietnam was also used by Vietnam in anti-Chinese actions. Decades of aid, including large quantities of military supplies and economic support, were seen by Vietnam as a means of a "northern threat." After the reunification of Vietnam in 1975, its attitude towards China took a sharp turn for the worse, and even regarded aid to China as a "bargaining" tool.
With the signing of a military cooperation treaty between Vietnam and the Soviet Union, China, in order to counter the Soviet-Vietnamese alliance and establish diplomatic relations with the United States, began to issue stern warnings against Vietnam's aggression. In 1979, China** decided to stop economic and technical assistance to Vietnam and withdraw its engineering and technical personnel in Vietnam.
However, Vietnam has not stopped its expansionist behavior, not only using force against Laos and Cambodia, but also deliberately provoking the Sino-Vietnamese border dispute. In early 1979, in order to safeguard national interests, the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched a border self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
To sum up, the border dispute between Vietnam and China today is not a simple territorial dispute, but a long and intricate historical grievance and political wrestling behind it. The transformation of the relationship between the two countries and the outbreak of the border dispute are not only historical issues, but also the interweaving and continuation of contemporary politics and geostrategy.
The above-mentioned article presents the intricate relations between China and Vietnam in the long history, and profoundly outlines the evolution process of the two countries from friendship and cooperation to serious antagonism. This history has a profound impact on our understanding of China-Vietnam relations today.
First of all, the article reveals in detail the deep historical ties between China and Vietnam. From Vietnam's ancient times as a vassal state of southern China to its later French colonial rule and China's long-term assistance to Vietnam, this period of history has left a lot to be interesting about. Vietnam's historical vassal status, French colonial rule, and China's enormous aid to it form an intricate web of relationships that shape the emotional and political interactions between the two countries.
Secondly, the article also points out a series of events that led to the sharp deterioration of Sino-Vietnamese relations. In particular, Vietnam's attitude toward overseas Chinese in China and its malicious use of China's long-term selfless assistance have caused relations between the two countries to take a sharp turn for the worse. This change in attitudes from gratitude to denigration shows a shift in the political tactics of the Vietnamese leadership, as well as the evolution of the geopolitical landscape.
Finally, the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack mentioned in the article was the climax of the evolution of this relationship. In order to defend its national interests, China has responded strongly to Vietnam's aggressive behavior. This war is not only a contest of regional security, but also an important node in the entanglement between the two countries in the long history, shaping the complex situation between the two countries today.
Overall, this article provides a comprehensive presentation of the historical evolution of Sino-Vietnamese relations. It is thought-provoking, gives people a clearer understanding of this intricate history, and prompts people to think more deeply about the development trend and future direction of China-Vietnam relations today.
