Lots of Vietnam war veteran after '75 were encourage to settle in the rural and/or mountainous areas to "built Việt Nam up from the ruin of war" and the northern border are no exception. So you have war veteran, indigenous mountain tribes with shooting and hunting skill that know the lay of the land, border guard units which are no slouch them self and the usual scorched earth tactic (burn resource, destroy infrastructure if being over run, the usual stuff) and you got quite the nasty homework for the other side to mull through.

    Winston - The defeat in Vietnam was even worse than you said. At the time the bulk of Vietnam's experienced and well trained Army were in Cambodia so China was defeated by reservists who were mobilised from their normal day jobs and rushed to the northern border. If it wasn't for the need to deal with the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime Vietnam could have responded even more powerfully to the Chinese.

The Chinese army didn't even fight Vietnam army and they already died a good amount. The only thing Chinese army did was burning down all the villages they took for propaganda saying that they went to capital. But no, if they actually attacked capital, they would have to fight the main Vietnameses army and more Chineses would have gotten killed.

    My coworker and friend is an immigrant from Shanghai, China. We were talking about China one day, and she said China behaves the way it does because its history is full of being invaded by stronger nations. Always the victim, China is. This inferiority complex is built into their national psyche. It was interesting that nearly every historic event is viewed through those goggles of victimhood. In their mind, Taiwan isn't a sovereign nation that resulted in a split during civil war, but Chinese territory being illegally occupied by a foreign power. Pretty much if any Chinese person ever took a dump somewhere throughout history, it is Chinese territory.

    Vietnamese here, while he said China invaded us twice in the years mentioned, it's often overlooked that we had also been under their sovereign for thousands of years ( this can be looked up in Vietnamese as " Ngàn năm Bắc thuộc" which briefly translates to " a thousand years of Chinese reign" which revealed a lot of China's invasion into our small, un-united country (since it's only officially recognized in 1975 that we are a united nation under the name of Vietnam ).

      Doesn't surprise me. China is such a dog eat dog, competitive society that it's hard to see how teamwork would prevail. This is a country where without money you will be denied even basic emergency hospital care. People habitually push in front of each other in lines. This element of competition is basically used as a form of control by the CCP. For example, school kids spend almost all their waking hours studying because they are competing with other kids for spaces at school or university. Parents are involved in the competition. It affects/infects almost every family to the extent that parents only want one child, despite recent alterations to Chinese birth control policy. A nation of single, spoilt kids isn't going to take easily to teamwork. And as for team sports, forget it. The young people of China simply don't have any leisure time to kick around a football. Just study, study, study. Hence they are dramatically physically underdeveloped compared with European kids. And also basically crap at football.

I actually enjoyed my duty and extended my year-long assignment by another six months. Vietnamese people were wonderful (I still can see the fatherly smile on the kindly Vietnamese Navy commanding officer at Cam Ranh Bay -- wonferul, caring man). I was fortunate in being able to travel around the countryside in my work. Vietnam and China have a "history" going back centuries. Vietnam has almost always held its own in fights with China. I later kept abreast of developments in Vietnam after I returned home to college (and was happy seeing the rise of the prosperous Vietnamese community in Southern California and elsewhere after passing through thousands of them living almost literally on the beach at Camp Pendleton as refugees). They are a strong, friendly, kindly, intelligent people. Thanks for illuminating this history. I have long enjoyed yours and C-Milk's videos. -- Retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer.

    Chinese troops were held for 16 days in Lang Son town, a town only 15 km from the border and 135 km from Hanoi. On average, the Chinese army advanced only 0.9 km per day and it took them 16 days to advance only 1/10 of the way to Hanoi. And the illusion of "taking Hanoi in a week" is just a wild dream of the invaders.

    You forgot (or didn't knew) about one more Chinese Invasion on India in 1967.
    It was not a full scale war, it was limited only to some sections of border, it happened when PLA tried to capture land at 2 border location.
    They ultimately failed to capture that land, because since 1961 war humiliation, India actually learned its lessons.
    And regarding 1961 defeat with China, I will not blame it on military. Instead government and our leaders were responsible for that.
    They lacked strategic thinking, and they didn't perceived China as possible threat.
    The China border lacked infrastructure, it had very poor connectivity at that time. Border was very much undefended.
    When China suddenly attack, the main challenge was not about acquiring weapons and troops. Instead the main challenge was how to move troops to border, how to solve logistical challenge.
    We learned our lessons. But other countries should also read about this and learn from it make your defenses stronger to withstand CCP threat.
    Note: I am not spreading hate against common Chinese people. I have problems specifically with CCP and PLA not with Chinese people.

    • @Jake-dh9qk

      Dude this is literally debunked so many times idk why you keep repeating this same "legend". The 900(not 1,400) Filipinos faced around 3000-4000 Chinese troops. The rest of the Chinese were fighting other NATO positions. The entire defensive line has other NATO troops, not just Filipinos.
      The Filipinos had superior firepower, artillery and fortified positions. The Chinese had rifles, flags and whistles.
      If you know anything about warfare, you would know that you need overwhelming firepower and numerical advantage to overcome defenders if you're the one laying siege. It's not uncommon for defenders to fend off armies 10 times as large as them if they have a good defensive position.

    • @Jake-dh9qk
      @Jake-dh9qk 2 года назад +1

      Plus you're looking at one small battle without taking the entire war into consideration. The Chinese outnumbered NATO by a couple hundred thousand only and yet was able to overcome their fire superiority and defensive positions in majority of other battles. The fact that people keep pushing the myth that Chinese had 10s of millions of troops rushing towards a few thousand NATO troops only serve to ignite the passions of doing actual research and finding out the real numbers.
      Real numbers, as stated by western records show that China outnumbered NATO about 1.5 to 1. That isn't a whole lot considering how China is greatly lacking in technology, planes and tanks. China also had far less officers and generals to staff the command, whereas NATO had twice the number of officers and generals.
      The Korean War is one that is highly studied by military colleges to understand all the tactical and strategic maneuvers by the Chinese during the Korean war. China employed the concept of "deny enemy advantage" through largescale maneuvers that caught the NATO offguard and shook their commanders to the core. Hence, there is a saying that if you don't see a Chinese in the next few hours, then chances are they are planning a flanking maneuver; and when you do see them then it's probably too late because they have already crawled up to your positions the last few hours while you're dozing off.

Its military force, the Liberation Army of South Vietnam (LASV), fought under the direction of North Vietnam, against the South Vietnamese and United States governments during the Vietnam War, eventually emerging on the winning side. The LASV had both guerrilla and regular army units, as well as a network of cadres who organized peasants in the territory the Viet Cong controlled. During the war, communist fighters and anti-war activists claimed that the Viet Cong was an insurgency indigenous to the South, while the U.S. and South Vietnamese governments portrayed the group as a tool of North Vietnam. According to Trần Văn Trà, the Viet Cong's top commander, and the post-war Vietnamese government's official history, the Viet Cong followed orders from Hanoi and were part of the People's Army of Vietnam.

Whenever someone got bullied in a group of Chinese and complained, they would say "This is what happens when you don't take from us" Chinese society not only support these bullies and they even teach Chinese that "Chinese people got bullied in the past so anyone different from us supposes to taking bullying from us, no need to feel guilty about that." Actually, bullying is just a Chinese trade mark.

    You should also mention the South China Sea. China has illegally grabbed 90% of it along with associated islands and shoals, completely ignoring international maritime treaties.

    Your about to hit that Million bro!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 It's only a matter of time now man!! I really like your stuff, very informative about a part of this world that doesn't have the transparency of other nations, especially of those that are equally as developed, ie Germany or France, and I LOVE how you highlight that they are still classified as a "Developing Nation" which is absolutely and totally insane, they're on the cusp of hegemony and they're a "Developing Nation" its a joke...anyway congrats bro you deserve your success 🙌 I wish you nothing but massive success, health and happiness bro!

    China claims that Vladivostok is Chinese territory and only ceded it to Russia in 1860 when China lost to British and French forces during the second opium war and it’s still a festering humiliation to them.

    Regarding the India-China skirmish that occurred in 2020, the troops on both sides were unarmed. This is what led to the high casualties on the Chinese side, whilst the Indian side had roughly 1/3rd of the casualties that the PLA had. This is because of an agreement reached years ago between China and India. The other big issue was the Tibetan troops of the Indian Army, who were able to outperform the Han Chinese soldiers in high altitude fighting.

      Actually, the Chinese side has tibetan soldiers as well.
      Indians are not as good as you think.
      20 dead.
      More captured and injured.
      I believe Chinese side has about 20 death as well.
      Also, both sides used weapons eg sticks and rocks to fight.

    This defeat for China was more embarrassing than America's defeat in the Vietnam War. Also Vietnam really is impossible to conquer.
