@fattyacid1901 the root reason for Sino-Soviet split is not about communism definition but geopolitics, it's similar to Tito-Stalin Split even they are both communists, Soviet helped Chinese industrialilaztion after Korean War, then big brother Soviet tried to militarily control China like USA did to Japan because Soviet felt deserved it, but Mao refused joint fleets with Soviet Navy in Chinese coast like to be like Eastern European satellite states, then Soviet regarded China as not real communist but nationalist, a huge version of rebellious Yugoslavia, then Soviet also supported India in Sino-India War 1962, Chinese then recalled memory that Russian Empire annexed Outer Manchuria and Outer Xinjiang from Qing Empire, Soviet even supported Mongolia Independence from ROC and refused Mao's reclaim, so CCP considered Soviet as red imperialist like Kuomingtang especially after Soviet invaded his communist bros Hungary and CzechSlovakia.
then Soviet and China even competed to support North Vietnam during Vietnam War, it's like there was two giants fighting for power in socialism world, actually China spent too much to Vietnam when Chinese were so poor, that's when Mao was against both superpowers USA and Soviet and their allies during 1959-1969.
China attacked Soviet on disputed border but Soviet tried to nuke China after Sino-Soviet border conflicts 1969, there are many border disputes with Russia India after Qing Empire collapsed but weak ROC can't take control back or really give sovereignty up, like even today Taiwan still claims those sovereignty annexed by Russia India Kazakhstan Vietnam Mymmar 11dashline in ROC Constitution, when Soviet became more nuke threat then Mao shaked hand with Nixon against Soviet expansion, because Nixon realized USA can't contain both Soviet China in Vietnam War and USA running out of gold and in nationwide civil rights movement in late 1960s, then Mao gave pressure to Vietcong to respect Paris peace treaty, not to really unify South Vietnam by force, or China would slow down supplying.
Vietcong felt betrayed by Mao, even felt threatened by the 1,000 years invaders again, but actually China didn't occupy North Korea North Vietnam after wars, but Vietcong became more pro-Soviet anti-China, then Vietcong didn't listen to China and unify South Vietnam with more Soviet sponsoring so quickly. after USA withdraw then Vietcong felt more ambitious and said Vietnam is No.3 military power, Vietcong looked down PLA when Vietcong visited China during China experienced great cultural revolution chaos, after USA also left Cambodia then Khmer Rouge wanted to take back Khmer Krom controled by Vietnam by genociding Vietnamese, Vietcong fought back and also genocided Boat People aka Vietnamese-Chinese race and caused some Sino-Vietnamese border conflicts, such border line never solved after Qing Empire collapsed then it just became more blood hatred when CCP and Vietcong were not ally anymore, then Vietcong attacked pro-China Khmer Rouge and occupied Laos, China saw Vietcong wanted to unify whole French Indochina Federation, Vietcong even claimed Chinese Guangxi Guangdong provinces were stolen land since Qin Empire annexed Nanyue Kingdom two thousand years ago.
then Dengxiaoping visited USA and told Americans he would punish Vietnam expansionist, Jimmy Carter even warned Dengxiaoping that Chinese may got trapped too by communist people's war guerrilla tactics, so Dengxiaoping attacked, destroyed all facilities China offered before and withdrew within 29 days.
North Vietnam used to accept Chinese 11dashline claim, Mao even gave Bach Long Vi island to Vietcong for spying American jets 1954, PRC changed from 11dashline to 9dashline claim since then, even Vietcong supported CCP when PRC fought with South Vietnam in Paracel islands 1974, but Vietcong just claims same as South Vietnam claimed today after reunification.
1.Vietcong felt betrayed by Mao shaking hand with Nixon, but Dengxiaoping still wanted to punish Vietnam for betrayal and being pro-Soviet, because China helped Vietcong to get independence from France Japan and USA, China was No.1 free food and weapons supplier in Vietnam War when Chinese were starving.
2.Dengxiaoping wanted to break through Soviet encirclement in Indochina and Afghanistan against China, so that's CCP got allied with US against Soviet expansion after Vietnam War.
3.Dengxiaoping withrew after 1 month 1979 but still kept attacking and pressuring on border 1979-1991 until Vietcong to withdraw from Laos Cambodia, China also used American money to support mujahidee to force Soviet to leave from Afghanistan, to weaken Soviet influence.
4.Deng wanted USA-led capitalism world to lift sanction embargo on China then he can embrace more 1978 Reform&Openning, then you see HK Taiwan Japan then Westerners invested China.
so why Vietnamese hate Chinese so much? if Nanyue Kingdom is Vietnamese kingdom, then Guangdong province is their lost land, like Jews claimed Palestine. then established Israel. if Nanyue Kingdom is Chinese Kingdom then Chinese is not unifying Chinese independentists but bullied North Vietnamese for 1000 years, because Vietnam kept fighting back Chinese then Vietnamese are still Vietnamese, similar but different culture, because Vietnam fears once Vietnam is not anti-Chinese enough then Vietnam will join Chinese, that's hate from history.
China stopped Vietnam to be sole hegemony in Indochina, if not China then whole Indochina will be Vietnamese Empire, because Vietcong just kicked out USA, Soviet also supported them, who can really stop their dream, like Thailand also attacked Vietcong in Thai-Cambodian border, or at least Indochina Federation without French. but today Vietnam has to share power with other ASEAN countries and Vietnam is lossing control Laos.
France stays for hundreds of years, USA stays for decades, but China would stay besides for another 1,000 years, even Vietnam War caused much much much more damage than 1979 war, like 3 million people died but its unnecessary to worry anymore especially USA need Vietnam to contain China now, Vietnam also need American investment. USA used South Vietnam to contain China then China intervered in Second Indochina War against South Vietnam, Soviet used Vietnam to contain China then China intervered in Third Indochina War, I don't think Vietnam want to be used by USA against China in future Fourth Indochina War, as long as Vietnam plays more anti-China attitude then American companies will invest supply chain to Vietnam, as long as Vietnam is not too pro-USA then China would allow Chinese factories go to Vietnam, Vietnam can get benefits from both if Vietnam is not stupid to get involved in another proxy war again.
