Since your guys don't like the govt of pakistan, Indian has the right to eliminate it? And we don't like your govt, we have the right to eliminate yours?I am astonished that there would be people who love Pol Pot.
But then maybe there is some commonality given the chequered history after 1949!
Vietnam's invasion of cambodia was not because they detest polpot's genocidal regime (though they might have really detested it). They did it because Cambodia was shoving them and came to a point where they massacred the population on a Vietnamese island phu quoc. That doesn't not work in anyway like your argumentSince your guys don't like the govt of pakistan, Indian has the right to eliminate it? And we don't like your govt, we have the right to eliminate yours?
The conflict in Laos was more of a civil war and was largely a part of the cold war then. As we all know the SEA countries involved in the cold war were all used as puppets. The fate of Cambodia after their submission to Vietnam was a consequence of their defeat in war that they started. Do you expect Vietnam to just withdraw immediately after defeating Cambodia and let it recover and start another genocide? Responsible invasion is like taming a wild animal. It will be exhausted and battered after a fight so you have to nurse it back health, tame it and release it back to the wild. If Vietnam had plans of conquering vCambodia then Cambodia would have been a mere province of Vietnam right now.Then it was a war between Vietnam and Cambodia and someone lost, as simple as that?
But what did Vietnam do after the collapse of Polpot govt?
They rebuilt a puppet and a bunch of troops left there without any hints to retreat, exactly the same thing what the US did/is doing.
Do these actions, which can be easily defined as conquering, should be appreciate by common international rules?
The US did this without anyone's reaction is just because no one can stop them.
Vietnam did this then it crossed the bottom line of China and no surprise to bring them a war with us.
By the way, did the unharmful Lao do any bad to Vietnam?
They were also gifted a puppet govt., which has even survived until nowdays.
It seems that you misunderstand the relationships between France and China. In the real world, France and China are not rivals aginst each other. Both as 2 of the 5 permanent members in UNSC, we have many common interests all over the world. In brief, each side need the counterpart to maintain its influence in the world. This world until now is still a one-polar structure set by US, arguably with their cousin UK. And as a typical old Europe Strongpower, no wonder France is trying to keep their right place in Europe and the world by maintaining an individual policy since De Gaule.Of course, French and Chinese have huge differences in ideology but their govt. are more of realism. And the diplomatic policy of France is the most flexible one in Western world. They have fairly good relationships with almost all of the important countries, even with Russia.Lets see the friends china have atpresent Pakistan - model country of world Iran -the country hated by most of muslin world and china believe the Russian are in their side ,well they are with china to make sure it doesnt grow .Inside they would be hating china as much as others .So who are china's friends. China should really think about this thing before they get themselves involved in misadventures with India,ASEAN ,JAPAN,SOUTH KOREA,AUSSIE ,USA,FRANCE,U.K. etc .Sorry forgot your other best friend North Korea
This kind of passions on independence of Nation are well acknowledged. It's not wrong for Vietnam to maintain its independence of race. But it's totally unwise to maintain it in a fierce way. China is huge to its neighbours, thus it's unscientific to say their neighbours won't be influenced by it at all. The influence of China is always there, but what the leader group of Vietnam did after HCM's death? They were comrades and brothers the day before, though had some conflicts in mind, then suddenly turned to be Chinese hatred and start to purify themselves by kicking out any members preferring China. This also happened in North Korea after Korean War, the King family grabed the absolute power in regime by clearing all the members from different source, some of them were heroes in Korean War. Though CCP felt very uncomfortable towards King, they endured it. This means that sudden change of direction in leader group of nearby Communist countries alone is to some extent endurable, and CCP won't react too much and too obviously."The last time the Chinese came, they stayed a thousand years. The French are foreigners. They are weak. Colonialism is dying. The white man is finished in Asia. But if the Chinese stay now, they will never go. As for me, I prefer to sniff French shit for five years than to eat Chinese shit for the rest of my life." — Hồ Chà Minh, 1946[33]
Anybody should be free to choose who his friends are going to be. Same with nations. You cannot force anybody to be friends with you if they hate everything about you. Vietnam never attacked China.This kind of passions on independence of Nation are well acknowledged. It's not wrong for Vietnam to maintain its independence of race.

And it was even worse that they started to drive out Chinese immigrants who might lived for centuries in Vietnam. What the bullsh!t of this is nearly can be called as Racist Clearance. The same thing to an even worse extent happened in Indonesia in 90s. This kind of things have already passed the bottom line of China. If someone was lucky not to be punished right after such situations, the only reason is that the lack of China's capabilities.
