The Elephant and the Dragon

Vietnam and China are two of the most populous countries in the world, and their relationship has a long and complicated history. For centuries, Vietnam was a tributary state of China, but in the 19th century, it became a French colony. After World War II, Vietnam fought for and won its independence from France, but it soon became embroiled in a new war, this time with China.

The Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 was a brief but bloody conflict that resulted in a stalemate. However, the war left a lasting legacy of distrust and animosity between the two countries. In recent years, relations between Vietnam and China have improved somewhat, but there are still a number of unresolved issues between the two countries, including territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

In The Elephant and the Dragon, Pasquale De Marco provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between Vietnam and China. He examines the historical, political, and economic factors that have shaped this relationship, and he offers insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The Elephant and the Dragon is a timely and important book that sheds light on one of the most important relationships in Asia. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the past, present, and future of Vietnam and China.
