Abstract
This chapter explores China's response to Hanoi's support for the Soviet Union's encirclement policy against China. After Vietnam made the decision to align itself clearly with the Soviet Union in the first quarter of 1978, the Sino-Vietnamese conflict over bilateral issues escalated further until the Sino-Vietnam alliance was terminated, In February 1979, the Chinese launched a border war against Vietnam. The Chinese captured some of the cities near the border of Northern Vietnam, and declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. Chinese forces then retreated back across the Vietnamese border into China.
