introduction
Vietnam is located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, is a socialist country, Vietnam borders Our Guangxi, Yunnan, and is one of China's neighbors. Nowadays, the overall impression of Vietnam in our country is not particularly good, so China has helped Vietnam many times, but Vietnam still chooses to fight with China, which makes the people feel that Vietnam is a bit ungrateful and is a wolf that cannot be fed.
Modern China and Vietnam
During the period of the founding of New China, the relations between China and Vietnam were in the honeymoon period, during which Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh had frequent exchanges with china, and the two countries established a relatively deep friendship. At that time, Vietnam and China were both socialist countries, and there was a natural sense of closeness.
From the perspective of modern history, China has been kind to Vietnam, whether it is Vietnam's war of independence or Vietnam's war with the United States, China has provided a lot of help to Vietnam. At that time, in order to support Vietnam, which was in dire straits, our country resolutely decided to fund Vietnam in the absence of enough food and materials at home, preferring that we ourselves be starved and frozen.
Shortly after the founding of Vietnam, the United States launched a large-scale invasion of Vietnam, when the U.S. military, with its strong military strength, achieved a great advantage shortly after the outbreak of the Vietnam War, and the Vietnamese army frequently collapsed and retreated to the northern region of Vietnam. The United States propped up the South Vietnamese regime in an attempt to divide Vietnam into two, a war that had been fought in Vietnam for twenty years and finally forced the United States to withdraw its troops.
Vietnam can win the war against the United States, one is the heroic resistance of the Vietnamese, and the second is the large amount of assistance from our country and the Soviet Union, so that Vietnam can defeat the powerful American army and complete the reunification of Vietnam. It is reasonable to say that after Vietnam's reunification, it should be grateful to China, but after many years, why did it choose to make enemies with China and not hesitate to start a war?
On this issue, Kissinger expressed his own views, he believes that the reason why Vietnam will launch war against our country and wantonly provoke our country is actually due to the inferiority and ambition of the Vietnamese people.
Some people may not know Kissinger as a famous U.S. diplomat, expert on international issues, and U.S. secretary of state. It is worth mentioning that Kissinger visited China as Nixon's envoy in 1971, and the following year, he accompanied Nixon to China.
Kissinger's point of view
Kissinger explained from historical reasons that "China has helped Vietnam many times, why did Vietnam fight with China?" "This question.
As we all know, looking back at the history of China's feudal dynasties, Vietnam is one of China's vassal states, China is located in the central plains of Asia, the development of civilization is advanced, and there are Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming, Qing and other great unified dynasties. For the Vietnamese, because their country has been a vassal state of China for many years, they believe that China has been oppressing and bullying them, so the Vietnamese are very inferior.
Modern Vietnam, after experiencing independence and reunification, they have become one of the great powers in Southeast Asia, they are eager to prove their strength, through various armed provocations, slowly the ambition is also getting bigger and bigger, so that finally the Vietnamese hope to prove themselves in China, in order to defeat China to wash away the "shame" they were once a vassal state.
After independence and reunification, Vietnam hopes to increase their international influence by defeating China, while at the same time satisfying some of the ambitions of the Vietnamese. However, at that time, Vietnam also knew that it was not a good chance to defeat China alone, so it joined forces with the Soviet Union to actively establish good relations with the Soviet Union and obtained assistance and support from the Soviet Side to support the ambitions of the Vietnamese.
Kissinger also said that after the signing of the Paris Agreement, he was invited by the Vietnamese to come to Vietnam and visit some historical sites in Vietnam. When the Vietnamese introduced the ruins to Kissinger, they would be very proud to say that this was evidence that they had been rebelling against the Central Plains, and these ruins were also inspiring the Vietnamese people.
Kissinger felt a lot by visiting some of Vietnam's historical sites, which made him recognize a real problem, that is, the Vietnamese are not friendly to China, and the Vietnamese people maintain a very unique hatred that has accumulated over the years, even if it cannot be eliminated for decades, and has penetrated into the marrow of the Vietnamese people.
epilogue
Although there is a certain truth in Kissinger's statement, we cannot deny this, but now Vietnam and China as a whole are still friendly, and the common development of the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples is the mainstream today.
Although in ancient times, Vietnam was once a vassal state of China, there was no large-scale war with Vietnam, Vietnam was only nominally a vassal of China. In modern times, China has helped Vietnam a lot, and they should be grateful, rather than clinging to the past history, which is not conducive to the unity between the two countries and the psychological development of the Vietnamese people.
