In 1954, if China didn't negotiate with western countries, do you really believe US would watch Vietcong annex South Vietnam and did nothing?
In 1971, if China didn't make an agreement with US and US stayed in South Vietnam, do you think you had any chance to unite your country? Let's face it, Vietcong never won a battle except those jungle ambushes.
Cnese knowledge abt defence sector is too poor, thats why we can ambush PLA men easily in 1979.
Dude, we r not only defeated them by setting ambush but we also defeated US in Electronic warfare, history recorded it.Thats why Im quite surprise while some Cnese believe CN have a "super jamming device" that can jam our missile

History[edit]
The history of Electronic Warfare goes back to at least the beginning of the 20th century. The earliest documented consideration of EW was during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The Japanese
auxiliary cruiser,
Shinano Maru, had located the
Russian Baltic Fleet in
Tsushima Strait, and was communicating the fleet's location by "wireless" to the Imperial Japanese Fleet HQ. The captain of the Russian warship, Orel, requested permission to disrupt the Japanese communications link by attempting to transmit a stronger radio signal over the Shinano Maru's signal hoping to distort the Japanese signal at the receiving end. Russian Admiral
Zinovy Rozhestvensky refused the advice and denied the Orel permission to electronically jam the enemy, which in those circumstances might have proved invaluable. The intelligence the Japanese gained ultimately led to the decisive
Battle of Tsushima. The
battle was humiliating for Russia. The Russian navy lost all their battleships and most of its cruisers and destroyers. These staggering losses effectively ended the Russo-Japanese War in Japan's favor. 4,380 Russians were killed and 5,917 were captured, including two admirals, with a further 1,862 interned.

During
World War II, the Allies and Axis Powers both extensively used EW, or what Winston Churchill referred to as the "
Battle of the Beams".
[5] Navigational radars had gained in use to vector bombers to their targets and back to their home base. The first application of EW in WWII was to defeat those navigational radars.
[5] Chaff was also introduced during WWII to confuse and defeat tracking radar systems.
As time progressed and battlefield communication and radar technology improved, so did electronic warfare. Electronic warfare played a major role in many military operations during the
Vietnam War. Aircraft on bombing runs and air-to-air missions often relied on EW to survive the battle,
although many were defeated by Vietnamese ECCM.[6

but if Xi orders his ships to ramm and kill Russians on the rig, what then?
