Sino-Soviet Relations and the February 1979 Sino-Vietnamese Conflict China's more assertive role in Asia during the 1980s suggests, therefore, that Beijing actually believed that it was victorious in the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese war. On 22 February 1979, Colonel N. Trarkov, the Soviet military attach‚ in Hanoi, even threatened that the USSR would "carry out is obligations under the Soviet-Vietnam treaty;" elsewhere, however, Soviet diplomats made it clear that the USSR would not intervene as long as the conflict remained limited. Sino-Soviet border disputes during the late 1960s were particularly disturbing to Moscow and Beijing, since both the USSR and China were now nuclear powers; apparently an informal consensus was reached that neither side would resort to air power. www.vietnam.ttu.edu /vietnamcenter/events/1996_Symposium/96papers/elleviet.htm   (5013 words)

BHARAT RAKSHAK MONITOR: Volume 4(4) The Soviet Union was seen as a rising, expansionist power, lending its military and diplomatic support to allies such as India and Vietnam. Clearly, from Nixon’s perspective, the use of threats and intimidation of India and the Soviet Union during the December 1971 War was meant to send a signal to the Soviets to refrain from helping Washington’s adversaries in regional or internal conflicts in the Third World. On top of it all, the Nixon-Zhou meeting was preceded by a tense stand-off between China and the Soviet Union following several bloody skirmishes on their disputed border and the Soviet threat to take out China’s nuclear arsenal in a pre-emptive strike. www.bharat-rakshak.com /MONITOR/ISSUE4-4/malik.html   (6466 words)

PMag v05n2p12 -- What Chance for Peace in Indo-China? China had expected to force Vietnamese withdrawal from Kampuchea, but at great cost the Vietnamese stopped the Chinese advance; within a few months Chinese forces largely withdrew to the border and the conflict simmered down to intermittent clashes. ASEAN abhorrence of the Khmer Rouge finally elicited an indication from China - which was key to settlement - that it would halt military assistance to the Pol Pot remnants when Vietnam withdrew from Kampuchea. The increasing pressures on Gorbachev to reduce military expenditures, especially those overseas, plus similar, less often articulated, pressures in China contributed as well to the new climate of accommodation. www.peacemagazine.org /archive/v05n2p12.htm   (1372 words)
