China's War With Vietnam, 1979: Issues, Decisions and Implications
Unprecedented in scale and casualties, the brief Sino-Vietnamese war in 1979 was the bloodiest military conflict in the fraternal communist world. Why did the People's Republic of China and Vietnam, two comrades and brothers, engage in such a tragic war? This is one of the central questions Professor Chen attempts to answer in this in-depth discussion of that war-from its origins to its current international implications.The author offers an impo…
People's War under Modern Conidtions: Wishful Thinking, National Suicide, or Effective Deterrent
For millennia China's enemies have come chiefly out of northern and central Asia. In the 1980s, after a historically anomalous century during which most of her enemies came from the sea, China's defences once again are orientated north and west. The military threat of the 1980s is more complex than that posed by the barbarian nomads of old. The Soviet armed forces can launch land-air battles simultaneously all along the 10,000-kilometre Sino-Sovi…

China's "Punitive" War on Vietnam: A Military Assessment
THE CHINESE SELF-DEFENSE counterattack into the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) on February 17, 1979 may prove to be a turning point in -the history of the Marxist-Leninist movement. It was the first invasion of a communist country by another without any pretence of an ideological justification, or invitation by that country's people. Moreover, it flies in the face of the Maoist doctrine of Third World solidarity.1 Such long-ranging issues de…
