One netizen said the Chinese military was taking the train from the Chongzuo station to Pingxiang City, which shares a 60-mile border with Vietnam.

Uh...Pingxiang City is about 400 miles away from the border.

This is the other one, right across the border from Lang Son, which was the entry point for the Chinese invasion in 1979. It's been said that Deng Xiaoping invaded Vietnam to keep the PLA occupied while he consolidated power after his coup d'etat against Hua Guofeng, Mao's hand-picked successor.
