As for the counterattack in 1979, at that time, neither some domestic voices nor international public opinion approved of China's counterattack against Vietnam. As far as the country is concerned, at that time, our country was in the preparatory stage of development, and before the official arrival of reform and opening up, our country needed a stable environment to develop its economy, so many people were not in favor of going to war. However, Comrade Deng Xiaoping believed that if Vietnam was repeatedly tolerated, Vietnam was bound to gain inches, so it was necessary to completely "get rid of" Vietnam in exchange for stability, and of course, in the end, the facts also proved that he was right.
As far as the international community is concerned, at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union were in the cold war stage, and under the call of the Soviet Union, a large number of countries opposed China's counterattack against Vietnam, and even called China's counterattack behavior "aggression.", but under the insistence of Comrade Deng Xiaoping that "a child who makes a mistake must be spanked", our army finally launched a counterattack against Vietnam and won the victory in the counterattack war. At that time, the Soviet Union and Vietnam were "in cahoots", and due to the warning of the United States, the Soviet Union did not directly send troops to join the war, but still carried out military exercises on the border, which put a lot of pressure on our army.
In addition to the Soviet Union, there is another country that fully supports Vietnam, and it is Mongolia! Mongolia, as a country that is "rooted in" with our country, has completely fallen to the Soviet Union after being divided, and has made all kinds of unfriendly moves against our country, which has chilled our compatriots! During the counterattack against Vietnam, Mongolia not only expressed solidarity with Vietnam, but also carried out some military operations on the border, forcing our country to divide its troops and face each other. It is precisely because of the constant threat of these two countries that China quickly withdrew its troops after conquering Langshan, so as not to have a bigger outbreak of war!
So what happened to these two countries that once fully supported Vietnam? The Soviet Union, as opposed to the collapse of the Cold War with the United States, now has friendly relations with our country and strong national strength. Mongolia, on the other hand, is still the country that survives in the cracks, and both economic and military development needs to rely on our assistance. Since ancient times, "white-eyed wolves" will not have a good end, what do you think?
