Are you sure you're not thinking of Hong Kong and it was the British who had control not America.
Hong Kong was given back to the British on July 1, 1997.
China did not colonize either. Colonization implies a movement of your population and control into what was previously territory that did not have your population or was not under your control. China established a system of vassalage, where any state near to China would come under its strong influence as a tributary state and would receive Chinese protection from "Barbarians" in return. Korea was a "good" vassal and remained in the Chinese sphere without problems from the 1300s until the late 1800s. Vietnam was a "bad" vassal and so they periodically revolted against the Chinese. Therefore Vietnam was a Chinese vassal intermittently (more off than on) ever since the year 1010 until the French colonization in the mid-1800s.
They had many countries under control with the power that they had from trading opium. These countries were mainly who they interacted with and communicated with. This allowed them to not get involved in anything in the west.
Yes, the Chinese ruled Vietnam for 1,000 years until 939 AD, China was defeated by Vietnam and had lost control over Vietnam. Vietnamese soldiers and civilians in Vietnam were ruled by chinese soldiers and then finally the vietnamese soldiers fought back against the chinese soldiers and China lost the significant battle against Vietnam.

(Mao Zedong) Mao Zedong was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party during the Cold War. He became its leader in 1935. He and his fellow communists gained control of China in 1949. Mao ruled with an iron grip until he died of natural causes in 1976.
For nearly twenty-five years. the conflict between Chinese Communists and Chinese Nationalists waged until finally, in 1950, Mao Zedong and his Communist forces achieved supreme control of China. They managed to win this epic conflict through their own outstanding organization and persistence, along with important material support from the Soviet Union. At the same time, the Nationalists' corruption, disorganization, and apathy towards the common folk of China were critical factors, as well.
