True. But, Vietnam and China have also been enemies going back 1,000 years. Memories are long in that part of the world.

The Vietnamese are not particularly fond of the Chinese. In February 1979 China invaded Vietnam with over 200,000 troops enlarging the force to over 300,000 by a week later. When Vietnam pushed them out after 3 weeks and 6 days, the Chinese left behind 62,500 dead, 550 military vehicles, and 115 tanks and pieces of artillery .
In 1100 years, Vietnam has never lost in any conflict with China.
