No, Vietnam is a sovereign nation. From 111 BCE until 39 AD, China ruled Vietnam. Four years later, China reconquered Vietnam and ruled for another 5 centuries before being driven out. Then from 602-905 AD China ruled Vietnam again. Then there was the short lived "Fourth Chinese domination" that lasted for 20 years in the 15th century. China invaded Vietnam for about 4 weeks in 1979, but pulled out with no clear winner (The Vietcong managed to hold onto Cambodia while China successfully destroyed Vietnam's offensive capabilities in the North).
tl;dr: Vietnam is not currently part of China, but has been in the past.
Also, guys? Stop making inaccurate, poorly spelled edits in order to take potshots at China. Just answer the question.
"Yes! china did take over Vietnam for over one thousand years of the viet life. that is one of the main reasons why the Vietnamese people decided to go in to war. because since the Chinese ruled the Vietnam culture . The Vietnamese people weren't happy because all the crops they grow and all the industry goods went to the Chinese culture . the Vietnamese people were like slaves for the Chinese people.!"
Vietnam was a tributary country of China for thousands of years.So are Burma,Laos,Korea,Nepal and once Japan.Tributaries functioned as military buffers for Ancient China. How could ancient China destroy barriers?But in a way it is sort of "taking over".In 1980s China declared war on Vietnam,and defeated Vietnam but didn't take over it. War is just a tool of politics of communists.
No. I'm a Vietnamese and I know we were not a tribute country. Go to Wikipedia and search for China History. The territory of the map is including Vietnam in the ancient time for almost 1000 years. But we still call it a millennium year Chinese occupation . After we got our independent, then we became a tribute country because we didn't want to have any wars with the Han while we fought the Cham people in the south. But sometimes in the history, they're still wars because China thought Vietnam was a part of it and kept sending army to invade Vietnam for whatever reason they made.
And at that time, we didn't call them China or Chinese, we called it by dynasty name. Like Han dynasty, Qin dynasty, Wu dynasty. And so we called the people Han people, Qin people, Wu people. We didn't call them Chinese.
In 1979, No sides won the war. China suffered heavy loss in people, and Vietnam main army was in the south. All the villages which China occupied only had the local army soldiers/ polices/retired soldiers. All the machines were destroyed, all the house and farms were burned. Animals such as pigs, cows, chickens, etc were killed. It was a hard time for Vietnamese villages to rebuild their town after Chinese soldier left.
VIETNAM didn't exist during the war. There were TWO countries North VN and South VN. North Vietnam received tanks and MiG17 & MiG19 jets (J5 & J6 versions) as well as tons of AK47s, grenades, artillery, etc. from Red China. The Soviet Union primarily provided SAMs and MiG21s. Both Communist China/USSR trained North Viet pilots in Red China and Russia (USSR).
There were TWO China's during the cold war: Red China and Nationalist China (Taiwan). One China was allied to Russia (Soviet Union) and one China was allied to America.
Yes. There were four periods during which China ruled Vietnam and they were called the Chinese domination. They lasted for periods ranging from two decades to five years and lasted for a total of about 970 years.
No, Cambodia is the country on the East side of southern Vietnam, separating Vietnam and Thailand.
North of current Vietnam? Communist China.
There are no Socialist countries in Asia, nor could there be. Socialism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, and would have to exist on a global scale, with no countries or borders.
Red China runs along Vietnam's northern border. During the war Red China ran along North Vietnam's border.
No, Vietnam was part of the French Empire.
Vietnam is very skilled at ambushing and attacking. This will guaranteed that Vietnam is stronger than China because Vietnam's military soldiers have AK-47's and better Su-27 aircraft and other planes. China has never won a war against Vietnam before, therefor Vietnam will win the war against China. Vietnam is a very poor small country but is still very strong. Vietnam has defeated Mongolia before. Mongolia is not stronger than Vietnam because Vietnam has a better army. Vietnam defeated Mongolia thousands of years ago however Mongolia has never beat Vietnam before. but Mongolia will still never win a war against Vietnam. Vietnam is stronger.
