By your own logic, China would have had every excuse imaginable to invade Vietnam and erase it from the map long ago.
That is exactly why your argument is garbage.
You do not get to redefine invasion as “justified” whenever Vietnam is the one crossing someone else’s border.
Over 2,000 years ago, waves of Chinese migrants moved south, blended into the local population, and completely became Vietnamese. Through centuries of shifting borders, trade, and families moving back and forth, and the genetic reality is clear, millions of modern Chinese people are actually walking around with Vietnamese ancestors.

I am a third-generation Chinese Cambodian. My ancestors came from Shantou, and I now live in Canada.
I am very grateful to the people of Vietnam. Thank you, Vietnam, for saving us. Without your intervention, many of us would likely have ended up as fertilizer rather than living the lives we have today.
During that time, the Khmer Rouge killed millions of people. They especially targeted intellectuals and ethnic Chinese. If you were Chinese or even looked Chinese, you were at high risk of being killed.
While we were being targeted in Cambodia, Deng Xiaoping's China supported the Khmer Rouge. Instead of helping us, He attacked Vietnam in the north to force the Vietnamese to retreat from Cambodia, The Vietnamese had to fight on two fronts, It’s a good thing they managed to hold on. What a shame. I know that Viet Nam will welcome any future invader.
Most of us lost half of our family members. I love the Chinese people and the Chinese community, but not Deng Xiaoping, he betrayed us, I see him as being responsible for supporting a regime that caused immense suffering and death. And now, there are some ignorant specialists trying to blame Vietnam for saving us and rewrite history.
For decades while living abroad, many of us continued to send money to support our families in China. Now that China has become strong and prosperous, some people have begun to bully and lecture others, I find that very regrettable.
As a Chinese Cambodian, I will never forget what happened during the Khmer Rouge period, nor will I forget the role Vietnam played in helping to end that tragedy. Thank you Viet Nam, i am proud of you and you should too.
China never stopped Vietnam from removing the Khmer Rouge. Vietnam entered Cambodia in late December 1978 . Within two weeks Phnom Penh fell and the genocidal regime was over. China’s February 1979 invasion of northern border was a short, costly, suffered heavy losses, and then withdrew on a fixed timetable. It forced Vietnam to divert some forces to the north, but it did not reverse their presence in Cambodia.
After the Khmer Rouge collapsed, China did exactly what great powers do when a client fails, it switched patrons. It immediately elevated Sihanouk. Classic great-power behavior, when one proxy collapses, back the next available one.
I am a survivor, I am the history, I lost many members of my family. After millions of death and you bunch of cowards still sat in Beijing, enjoy the show and thinking what next, until Vietnam take action to liberate us then immediately you accuse Vietnam of expansionism and attacking them, if Vietnam failed, we were all dead. According to what you said, preventing Vietnam expansionism is more important than millions of our life. Then I know where you stand.

China gave Sihanouk a Beijing villa, sanctuary, and political support, while directing the bulk of its heavy military aid weapons, ammunition, artillery, and equipment to the Khmer Rouge, who was responsible for the deaths of roughly 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979.

@caithe1159673@OopsGuess so have you succeeded to stop Vietnam, loser, how educated are you? you only learned what your school want you to know not necessary the truth!
