Agreed. Its marginally better now, i mean, i can umderstand the realpolitik of selling the filipino govt weapons, but just about everything China did involving SEA/Vietnam/khmer rouge was utter trash policy.
If anything, one could say it makes China (of that period) the "2nd world imperielists" Mao accussed the USSR of being, prehaps the purpose of his dogshit 3 worlds theory was to obfuscate these circumstances.
Edit: and i love Mao, but he was just straight wrong here so props to my boi Enver Hoxher for calling him out on that shit.
