First of all, I love how you linked to an article about a conflict from the second century BC, as if that justifies French and American involvement in 20th century wars againt Vietnam.
Secondly, Vietnam was not under 2100 years of subjugation by China. There have been four periods in history where Vietnam was ruled by China. The most recent was in the 1400s, and all together they come to under 1200 years.
And none of it justifies the United States installing a puppet government in South Vietnam to oppose the Communist north after European powers partitioned Vietnam at the Treaty of Versailles.
That was after the Vietnam war.
1979 was just a later example of 2100 years of Vietnamese subjugation by warring Chinese.
Also, I’m fucking done arguing with a goddamn brick.

There is a point that any dickbrain could see that you’re missing: China was the hegemony long before Western involvement. Now, fuck off.
Removed, civility
And does that make Western hegemony okay? What happened to freedom and self-determination?
