chinese troops were not recorded to have deliberated killed babies, raped farm girls, and disembowled pregnant mothers (per phoenix program),
OF COURSE NOT MORON!! Who was going to do the reporting??!!! Their own state-controlled press??
You don't report such "embarrassments" if you're a totalitarian regime.
You don't report how Montagnard and Hmong villages were UTTERLY DESTROYED AND INHABITANTS KILLED (INCLUDING BABIES) by North Vietnamese soldiers (maybe Chinese soldiers as well?)..
Maybe you should talk with Unclwest....

....about the atrocities committed against the inhabitants of S. Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia by your so-called "independence movement".
Take the Hue Massacre of 1968, committed by the Viet Cong most of whom were NVA soldiers posing as guerillas. Thousands of people were murdered, many burned alive with flame throwers:
Almost every family in Hue has at least one relative, close or remote, who was killed or still missing.

Here are some more atrocities for you to find "funny".

He was actually THERE (and worked with the Montagnards, as I recall), while neither you, nor I, were.
The N. Vietnamese also oppressed the indigenous non-Vietnamese, attempting to wipe out over 54 distinct cultures:

And it still continues to this day:

It's certain that China had nothing to do with supporting THEIR "independence movements" from the low-lander Vietnamese (both North and South).
And they certainly don't support Tibet's independence movement..
As for the US bombing of N. Vietnam, by 1965, it was clear that what was occurring in S. Vietnam was MORE than mere insurgency, but actual invasion by N. Vietnamese soldiers transiting via NEUTRAL LAOS down the Ho Chi Minh trail (clear violations of Laotian soveriegnty and international treaties regarding it's neutrality):
The outcome of the war depended on the infiltration of troops, weapons, and supplies through Laos into South Vietnam. In 1962, the United States and North Vietnam were among the nations signing the Geneva Accord agreeing to the neutrality of Laos. The United States duly removed all of its troops, but the North Vietnamese withdrew only a token number, leaving 6,000 in place.
North Vietnam also continued using the Ho Chi Minh Trail to send troops and supplies into South Vietnam. They denied doing this. In 1966, Prime Minister Pham Van Dong told journalist Stanley Karnow that allegations of North Vietnamese troops in the South were “a myth fabricated by the US imperialists to justify their war of aggression.” After the war, he told Karnow that combat forces had been sent down the trail by the tens of thousands.

Given the fact that NV was sending it's soldiers to invade SV, it only made sense to launch air strikes against Hanoi. They send soldiers, we send bombers...
