It was hardly "a defeat in a war with Vietnam. It was a border skirmish at most. On one hand, the Vietnamese had thought that they were militarily superior, having just defeated the South Vietnamese and the US. On the other hand, Deng was quoted as saying to reporters in Washington DC 2 weeks before the invasion: “If you don’t teach them some necessary lessons, it just won’t do." referring to the NVA' raids on some Chinese border villages.

He is an iron man of China. Under his leadership, I'm sure that
