When did China colonize Korea and Vietnam?

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.

When was China reunified when was China not unified?

China was reunified in 1949 when the People's Republic of China was established under the Communist Party, marking the end of a long period of civil war and fragmentation. Prior to that, China experienced significant disunity during the early 20th century, particularly during the warlord era in the 1920s and the Chinese Civil War from 1945 to 1949. The Republic of China, established in 1912, struggled to maintain control over the vast territory, leading to a fragmented state. Before this period of disunity, China had been unified under various dynasties, with the last imperial dynasty, the Qing, ruling until 1912.
