Anyway, using air power to smash Vietnamese air defenses is not necessarily critical. China can move into Vietnam in stages. For example, Chinese MLRS has a range of 400km. Therefore, China should destroy Vietnamese air defense targets up to 400km inside Vietnam.
For any short-range military targets up to 50km, China can use the PLZ-05 howitzer.
After weeks of softening up Vietnamese air and ground defenses, the PLA moves deeper into Vietnam and attacks the next 400km chunk of Vietnamese territory.

New Chinese domestic Kevlar body armor
China has a new Kevlar body armor. As far as I know, Vietnam is decades away from manufacturing Kevlar. Also, the Vietnamese are too poor to import foreign Kevlar body armor. Hence, due to the overall overwhelming advantage in technology, we should expect a 10-to-1 kill ratio in favor of China.
China Defense Blog: PLAMC testing new VBSS body armor vest for boarding team
PLAMC [PLA Marine Corps.] testing new VBSS body armor vest for boarding team
Friday, June 10, 2011
Clear Duty VBSS body armor vest is being tested by the PLAMC for boarding party. It's made by a local Chinese private company. VBSS stands for Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure operation.
The CD VBSS is more comfortable and offers quick-release that the standard issued Type 06 body armor lacks. The quick-release is a life saver if a boarding team member fall into the water. All he needed it is just pull the quick-release to remove the vest (which will be loaded down with hard plates, ammo, pistol, comm & other gears) and swim to the surface.
The vest uses Kevlar material and has large SAPI size hard plate pocket in the front and back. --- Timothy Yan

This second citation on domestic Chinese body armor is about a derivative of the decade-old Protector series.

New Chinese Body Armor
Thursday, September 23, 2010
It is based on their Protector line of body armor vest that had been around over a decade but this new version had probably borrowed many design features from US Interceptor design including the overlapping front, side adjustment strips, detachable throat and groin protector, more importantly, the hard plate pockets and MOLLE.
A note on the Chinese hard plate, since they don't have access to the material to make boron carbide ceramic, their higher-end plates use aluminum oxide ceramic but because the Chinese military is typically cheap-stick, most of their hard plates use ballistic steel, which is up to 3 times heavier than the ceramic plates.
