If I was just complaining about border skirmishes, then I’d mention India or something. The attack on Vietnam was more than just a “minor border skirmish”.

Well, feel free to explain how the attack on Vietnam constitutes an occupation. Are you suggesting China’s military action was carried out with the intent of annexing a part of Vietnam?
Come on, you’re more well-read than this. You know that military occupation and annexation are not the same thing.

You still haven’t answered what you think the intent of the military action was. Do you claim any military confrontation is occupation?
