China would not tolerate US crossing 17 parallel, but China can check Vietnamese expansion in Indochina and South East China.China stopped help to Vietnam from 1968 to get position for shake hands with US 1972 in Peking.
That is why US can leave Vietnam. Because with China at the back checking Vietnam, Vietnam cannot take over South East Asia as the Domino Theory predict.
That is also why, China attack Vietnam in 1979 when Vietnam refuse to withdraw from Cambodia.
