We know that the relationship between war and peace is like twin brothers, which is very similar to lao tzu's saying: blessings and misfortunes lie down, and misfortunes depend on blessings. There is no eternal peace in the world, there is no eternal war, and in the international community, many disputes and contradictions must be resolved by means of war, in exchange for temporary peace.
China's five-thousand-year history has experienced constant wars and chaos, large and small, China understands the importance of peace better than any other country, China pursues peace, international contradictions can be resolved by diplomatic means, try not to use war means, but China is not afraid of war, who is not honest, dares to invade China, China will never teach a lesson, the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam is a famous example.
In the early 1980s, China was ready to concentrate on developing its own economy and making up for the gap between the backward Western countries in the past 20 years, but some countries were uneasy and kind, such as the Soviet Union and Vietnam, which blatantly invaded China at the instigation of the Soviet Union.
You know, Vietnam once had good relations with China, and in order to help Vietnam, China can be said to be doing its best to give weapons and food. Vietnam's military strength is weak, and China helped Vietnam to repel the French colonies, and also helped Vietnam to repel the world's powerful American army. Vietnam, which has repeatedly won, inflates itself, believing that it can still repel the enemy without China's help, so it has a conflict with China.
In order to teach this white-eyed wolf a lesson, China's People's Liberation Army not only taught a good lesson, taking away the things that aided Vietnam in the past, including weapons and food, but most importantly, taking away the "treasure" of Vietnam, so that Vietnam will not dare to confront China in the next forty years.
Didn't Vietnam dare to be arrogant because it defeated the world's strongest United States? Overconfidence made Vietnam lose its way, our army gave Vietnam 28 days of war lessons, caught the Vietnamese army by surprise, the Vietnamese army understood that in front of the Chinese teacher, it was just a slag, it was not vulnerable at all, so the Morale of the Vietnamese army was low.
Some people say that if the war had continued and Made Vietnam a province, there would be no need for a visa if you wanted to travel. What do you think about that? Feel free to post your opinion in the comments section!
