Not unless the conditions were exactly right, and at 30 years on in mountainous terrain erosion would have removed most traces.
However, if it did make a crater, it would leave a perfectly circular one. Feel free to look for some in Google Earth; I'd not thought of that.
The resultion in that part of the world is pretty low.
I can't speak to the veracity of the source, but here's a page by a guy who says that he was connected to PRC SF in the region at the time.

"Feel free to look for some in Google Earth; I'd not thought of that."
any idea what size crater one would be looking for (i.e. 100m, 1km, 10km, etc) if there might be one? what area of the border were chinese troop concentrations/overruns possible?
in uninteresting areas google earth resolution will not handle stuff below a fairly large size as far as terrain features.
whenever you might have a minute, i have googled a good bit on this topic and cannot find any references to a hypothetical exchange, if you know or have seen a link and could pass it on as a starting point it would be greatly appreciated. I had never heard of this, but it is an intruiging topic. I assume this would have been in the 1969 conflict?
