It actually stopped existing in 1956, if you read the 1954 Geneva Accords. South Vietnam had a 2 year shelf date to allow the French more time to get out.Less than a dozen countries recognized them as a separate country after '56.
The Vietnamese do NOT like the Chinese. They've kicked the Chinese out of their country several times in the last millennium, most recently when the Chinese invaded in '79 and got their bleeding asses handed to them in a few weeks.The PLA turned out to be paper tigers who still thought that human wave attacks against a modern Army that had been in combat for the last 35 years might be a good idea. 35,000 casualties in 2 months.
