Vietnam War: Chinese Perspective

The Chinese Perspective on the Vietnam is often neglected. This is due the lack of sources, language barriers and other issues. Additionally, Vietnam and China have conflicts of their own, as such Vietnam has incentives to downplay Chinese involvement. This video takes a look at the strategic and ideological considerations of the Chinese. Additionally, the Korean War and Soviet relationship is discussed as well. China provided extensive support that likely severely diminished the effects of the US bombing campaign Rolling Thunder. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Zhang, Xiaoming: The Vietnam War, 1964-1969: A Chinese Perspective.

CavScout, do you perform stand-up? You are hilarious!

I appreciate your being gentle about "imperialism". I doubt the Chinese failed to notice the US taking half of Mexico, all of Hawaii and the Phillipines, and staging throughout the Pacific in WW2. Very impressive, but where and when does US influence come to a stop? As the US began to create and arm "South Vietnam", no one would assume the US was then going to leave peacefully. The percieved "ideological" differences between powerful countries tend to mask the reality that both "dictatorships", "communists", "socialists", and "democracies" feel the constant pressure to expand economically and each country, small or large, is run by an elite group labelling themselves under whatever label is popular within that country. Those elites may come from one tradition - label or another, but operate within the competitive global economy and its current unipolar dominance, yet elites always act like elites - in their own economic interest. The ideological labels are historically important but never alter the march each countries elites towards private wealth and personal power. This will only change if and when a democracy of working people should occur. China, Vietnam, and the US are no exception to elitism and the labels we repeat with such authority of meaning often divert attention from this fact and the similarity of interests between "communist", "democratic", "capitalist" and "socialist" rulers. If Lichtenstein had a million man army and it's own oil reserves, it's elites would behave accordingly;

the point is "imperialism" for me is first and foremost a political "bashword". > both "dictatorships", "communists", "socialists", and "democracies" feel the constant > pressure to expand economically good point, but I don't call that necessarily "imperialism", because there are many ways to expand, influence etc. I agree mostly with the "elites", recently had an interesting discussion about the fact that the US has no official aristocracy but "dynasties" all over the place.
