Without the help from China at that time, no way Polpot could get that far. After Vietnamese troops helped capture Phnom Penh (and gave back to Kampuchean United Front), China decided to invaded the Vietnam-China border in order to "punish" Vietnam. Yet so far, only Cambodia publicly supports China in their claim of almost the whole East Sea.

- yufeng66 11y agoThis post is somewhat misleading. China invaded Vietnam (1979) AFTER Vietnam invaded Cambodia (1978). The genocide was pretty much done by that point. Polpot was on friendly term with North Vietnam during the Vietnam war, so it is unfair to blame China for the raise of polpot on China and make Vietnam the good guy in the whole mass.
