The rise of Vietnam
Vietnam was once one of China's vassal states, and with such historical origins, the mainland gave it a lot of help in its wars of resistance to France and the United States. Subsequently, through the war dividend, Vietnam's strength increased by leaps and bounds, and driven by ambition, Vietnam actually had the idea of dominating Southeast Asia.
Subsequently, Vietnam not only launched an invasion of neighboring Cambodia and other countries, but also planned to pocket the mainland border and other places. The reason why Vietnam dares to be so rampant, in addition to its own strength, is also due to the support of the superpower Soviet Union.
Counterattack against Vietnam
In any case, Vietnam's behavior did infringe on the sovereign interests of the mainland, so after some careful consideration, the mainland still considered sending troops to counterattack Vietnam. So, what kind of reaction did the international community have after the outbreak of the war of counterattack against Vietnam?
Most countries have the same attitude
At that time, the international environment facing the mainland was not good, so the attitude of most countries to this war was to express their opposition. However, the only countries that really stood up and condemned were the Soviet Union and more than a dozen of its followers, and under the rendering of the Soviet Union, the counterattack war against Vietnam became a "war of aggression".
In fact, the mainland initially tried to use peaceful means to solve the problem, but Vietnam was blinded by ambition, and it actually regarded this behavior as a sign of weakness. It should be known that at that time, Vietnam had already created bloodshed on the border, and even if the mainland considered the safety of the people on the border, this war would have to be fought.
Famous teacher
However, the mainland had also considered in advance that some countries targeting China would play a role in the problem, so before the counterattack against Vietnam began, the mainland submitted a statement to the United Nations. Moreover, Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia and other countries is an indisputable fact, and the mainland's mobilization of troops against Vietnam this time can also be regarded as the rescue of Cambodia from another angle.
These countries oppose us but dare not send troops
Under great pressure, the mainland finally fought back against the more, and in less than a month we ended the battle. What is surprising is that those countries that criticize and oppose the mainland have not sent troops the whole time.
It is not difficult to understand that these countries have not sent troops, and even the Soviet Union, which is the leader, has not made any move, and other countries naturally do not dare to confront China. Moreover, the time for the mainland to end the battle was ridiculously fast, and even if these countries wanted to send troops, they did not have any time to react.
Only two countries support the mainland
In this war, there is another thing that has touched China immensely, that is, even the Soviet Union has stood up against China, but two countries in the world have openly supported the mainland. One of them is North Korea, whose relationship with China is known all over the world, and the other is Cambodia, and as a party invaded by Vietnam, it is reasonable to support the mainland.
It is true that the two countries have not provided any substantial help, but they dare to openly go against the wishes of the superpower Soviet Union, which is admirable. China has always reciprocated, so to this day, the mainland and the two countries still maintain good relations.
