There is a good documentary loaded on Youtube about that little skirmish.
The Vietnamese didn't even use their best division against the Chinese.
It would be different today since the Chinese have a modern airforce, artillery, nukes, etc. but I still think they would get lit up a bit if they put boots in the jungle.

Would it be possible for you to provide me with a link to it? I love such documentaries...

The Vietnamese are tough cookies. The Mongols tried twice to take over the country and were soundly beaten both times. We should let them tussel withthe Chi-coms. A good distraction to keep them from mischief making.
