"China invaded Vietnam, Vietnam tried to invade China into the Yunnan province but was UNSUCCESSFUL. In other words, China was able to go into Vietnamese territory and not the other way around. In this way, China wins. "

Thats the communist version of the story. Here is the real story. China tried to enter Vietnam, got their bloodied arse handed to them by the Vietnamese and went back home. End of story. If you want to believe something else go ahead but this really isn't the site for commie propaganda.

"If you define victory as China having to force Vietnam out of Cambodia, then you're right, they lost."

Vietnam beat the crap out of the China backed Khmer Rouge. Another of your commie lie.

"Remember 1962? China beats India without an airforce and with much less technological weapons than what India possess at that time because Indians underestimated China and didn't think it could operate in high altitudes. In the long run China did lose in terms of international image but military wise, they did achieve their objectives. "

If you define victory as having been able to enter someone's territory then even Nazis, Pakees, Iraq under Saddam, would be winners in your book.

BTW in 1962 India didn't possess any military equipment, let alone being better than China. India's economy was in a mess still recovering from partition exodus and 200 years of colonial rule. Another of your commie lie busted!

So you re the new Chicom in the forum?

Maybe if you would actually read my post, you would act a little more like grown men instead of slapping labels on people.

In 1962, India is far more wealthier than China, and possesses better military equipment than China. You can blame the british for a lot of things, but even today, where did the aircraft carrier that India has (which China doesn't) come from?

As far as the Vietnam war goes - something you just don't understand given that India was one of the biggest supporters of the Soviet Union. Vietnam was backed by the Soviets for its invasion into Cambodia - part of the reason is to check if the Soviets would come to Vietnam's defense, it did not. Even the Vietnamese accused China of betraying the world communist revolution by "becoming a puppet of the imperialist United States".
