No. It was a proxy war against the Soviet Union. China didn’t have good relations with the Soviet Union at that time, and they’ve had centuries of bad relations with Vietnam. Shortly after the US pulled out, China invaded Vietnam. They just didn’t make our mistake of engaging in a futile protracted war.
