At the time when French invaded Vietnam, was Vietnam a vassal state of China?
No, but it was "under the influence"

Collapse of Ferry's government
No, but it was "under the influence"
This is confusing. What the hell is under influence?
From wikipedia. and this is wikipedia so we have to take it cautiously, it states
The Sino–French War, also known as the Tonkin War and Tonquin War,[2] was a limited conflict fought between August 1884 and April 1885 to decide whether France should replace China in control of Tonkin (northern Vietnam).
Base on this, China was in control of Tonkin. Is this true? I thought Vietnam has its own emperor at the time? If so, how was the Chinese in control of Tonkin?
Official maps of the Yuan Dynasty and Ching
Dynasty, including but not limited to Da Qing Zhi Sheng Quan Tu
(published in 1862) and Huang Chao Yi Tong Yu Di Zen Du (published in
1894), show that the southernmost extent of China ends at Hainan islands
those are land maps,even in today's China,land maps dont show much beyond the lands boundary.
All the Chinese Imperial Maps that I've seen show that Hainan is the southernmost territory of China. Even the Chinese Envoy who was sent here in the Philippines to fetch the remnants of the Pirate King Limahong says that the Chinese Imperial gov't doesn't claim any island beyond Taiwan.

Actually it is the border conflict between the French colonial [Vietnam] and Qing.
Note it was the border war, not the whole Tonkin of Vietnam.
Old Maps show that there is no country named America or Philipines
But today the Chinese map usually added to "U-shaped" quoted in the corner of the map. But the Chinese always say loudly that its claims at SCS based on "history". lol
lol, U-shaped drawn only in 1947 -1948 under Chiang. lol chinese historical claims.
So it look like France was about to overrun Tonkin. So Vietnam enlisted Chinese help as the last ditch effort. But Chinese were defeated. Vietnam came under total French colonialization.
