Thanks ๐ While I have you here, I read the other day that in 1949, during the first indochina war, Vietnam worked to liberate border towns with China in the far north so that the new PRC could send military aid, cadres (for training), etc. Do you know if this is true by any chance?
Probably? Our history textbook doesn't mention any thing like it, but there are a lot of hidden histories between the 2 parties that I only know thanks to my father's retelling.
I'll double-check my source then, just to make sure I'm not saying any bullshit
edit: yeah it's safe, I was thankfully able to find the source again pretty easily. https://tuyensinh.ussh.edu.vn/Mon-Su-Viet-Nam-tu-nam-1945-den-nam-1954.html https://tulieuvankien.dangcongsan.vn/ho-so-su-kien-nhan-chung/su-kien-va-nhan-chung/chien-thang-lich-su-dien-bien-phu-751954-3368. Called the Border Campaign of 1950. I think it's interesting of the later context that the West often tries to exploit of the border skirmish/invasion of 1979.
