Although the smoke of World War II has long since cleared, the lessons and history it left behind continue to resonate around the world.

That unprecedented global conflict not only gave birth to a new international order but also made peace and development the common pursuit of countries around the world.

As one of the major victorious powers in World War II, China deeply understands the preciousness of peace. It has always adhered to the principle of peaceful diplomacy and is committed to establishing friendly relations with countries around the world.

However, history is always full of twists and turns. Even under the banner of peace, there will inevitably be storms and challenges.

When gunshots rang out across the Sino-Vietnamese border, when the olive branch of peace was broken by unprovoked provocations, China was forced to once again face the test of war.

This war is more than a rekindling of the anti-Japanese fighting from the past, and it is different from the just war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Instead, it is a forced fight in self-defense.

Vietnam, once a friendly neighbor, blatantly violated China's border and provoked China's sovereignty under the Soviet Union's secret support, which seriously threatened the lives and properties of the Chinese people.

Faced with such a situation, China has chosen to defend peace with war and to respond to provocations with justice.

China's victory in the Sino-Vietnamese War was not only a victory of military strength, but also a victory of diplomatic strategy.

It demonstrates China's staunch determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity to the world, and showcases the formidable combat effectiveness of the Chinese military in its modernization drive.

The victory in this war won China several decades of peaceful development, and provided solid external support for China’s reform, opening-up, and modernization.

As stated by U.S. experts:China has pulled the wool over the eyes of the world. This does not refer to China concealing something during the war, but rather that the "benefits" China obtained after the war victory far exceeded the expectations of the outside world.

These “interests” are not material wealth, but rather something more precious: an elevation in international status, safeguarding national security, improvement of the development environment, and increased national confidence.

China's victory in the Sino-Vietnamese War won it greater respect and recognition on the international stage. Countries that had previously held prejudices and doubts about China began to re-evaluate the strength and potential of this Eastern giant.

China's voice has become increasingly prominent in the international community, and China's position in international organizations has become increasingly important. This is the "bonus" brought about by the victory of the Sino-Vietnamese War.

Meanwhile, the success of the Sino-Vietnamese War also provides a solid guarantee to China's national security. It lets those countries that harbor ill intentions towards China see China's determination and strength, thus they dare not easily provoke and harm China's interests.

Such safeguards provide a stable environment for China's reform and modernization, enabling it to focus on economic development, improving livelihoods, and enhancing scientific and technological prowess.

In addition, the victory of the Sino-Vietnamese War inspired the Chinese people's self-confidence and pride. It made the Chinese people see their country's strength and unity, and it also showed the world the toughness and indomitability of the Chinese nation. This self-confidence and pride is a powerful force driving China's continuous progress.

In sum, the victory of China-Vietnam war brings not only the temporary benefits of gold and silver treasures but also the long-term peace and development. These benefits not only help the present but also the future generations.

Therefore, it can be said that the victory of the Sino-Vietnamese War was an important turning point in Chinese history. It laid a solid foundation for China's development and made a positive contribution to world peace and stability.
