Vice President Harris could visit Vietnam, Singapore in August

The causes of famines in 1944 - 1945, according to writers who lived through this period, like To Hoai, were:

1- Flood in the North of Vietnam in 1944, leading to very low harvest in 1944
2. Seize of rice by Japanese army for military use
3. No transportation from the South to the North: all transportation means, either rail, truck or ships, were seized by the Japanese army for military use.

Direct or indirect, the famine which killed almost 2 millions in the North, was caused by the Japanese.

I incline to downplay flood. Nam Dinh or Song Hong delta is always flooding, until the construction of dam. And there are people dying as far as Thai Nguyen (cant be flooding there).

It was the Japanese who took all the food away.

We can always refer to Wikipedia, which provides some references (not always true, but ..)

Natural disasters
In northern Vietnam, a drought and pests caused the winter-spring harvest of 1944 to decrease by 20%. Then, a flood during the harvest season caused the crisis to occur, which led to famine in 1945.

2 millions were killed. When there was bad harvest, and Japanese was still taking the food away. 20% of crop failure will not cause 2 million death. And it was not as if Red river delta had one harvest a year, it was always 2 harvest a year.

And cant explain people are starving in Thai Nguyen. Cant be flooding in Thai Nguyen.

The hardest hit provinces were probably Thai Binh and Nam Dinh, where people turned into cannibalism, who had to eat flesh of the dead, or even living children, to survive.

Contributed the most, weaponry, training, govern experience, party affairs..etc.
Party affairs? Seriously?
We need ToT in Icbm, but you offer party building? Let’s me tell you: communism has no future in China. Xi Jingping and his cohorts will soon establish monarchy.

that was due to provocation of southern influenced Vietnamese regime.

what provocation? give your evidence

China lost the war in 1979 when Vietnam forced China to retreat from all Vietnamese territory

also China did not force Vietnam to withdraw from Cambodia, Vietnamese stayed in Cambodia until 1989 and they left on their own accord

Vietnam held its borders and todays Vietnam can dictate what it sees in its own national interest

Lets face the fact. When US was raining agent orange in Vietnam like rain, Vietnam was still well fed. The crops were still growing. Agent orange cannot even do that much in Vietnam tropical environment.

Meanwhile there was hardly any disaster in 1945 and the Japanese famine occur around Nam Dinh -- the MOST fertile land in Vietnam.

No flood or any disaster can impede plant growth in Nam Dinh ok.....

How the FCK you are going to explain.
Genocide ?????
