Stupid title. War is terrible, but the Sino Vietnam war in 1979 was to check Vietnam hegemonic intentions south of her borders in Cambodia, Laos and even Thailand. It succeeded. US and UK actually supported Chinese action.

I'm afraid you didn't read president Carter's memoir, on which he did not stand by China on this. US just didn't interfere it. China's anxiety is be surrounded by USSR from the north and Vietnam from south. SE Asia country's border is not China's aim.

Vietnam was extremely frustrated and furious when China shaked hands with US. So did DPRK when China established diplomatic relationship with ROK. So, as the slang goes, don't take it too seriously。 所以別忙不顛兒幫朋友兩肋插刀,謹防朋友哪天醒過神來幫著對方插你兩刀。
