It had to happen sooner or later...

Name? Or something we can google off of?

Ugh! It was a show about the then leader's favorite movie makers and how this semi-documentary on the 70's Sino- Viet war made their government bring back rank and other reforms. Now I have to track it down! It mentioned their leader, Mr. Deng had a Hong Kong filmmaking couple become "guests", and it was their movie. Still searching.....

The source I read was dead tree and I must report my failure to find it online. Only broad references including 500 soldiers killed by their own weapons malfunctioning. It's a shame because the article went into detail on the VN female snipers wreaking havoc on the ChiCom armor and infantry. Making lemons into lemonaid, I'm thinking of a scenario with a Moison Nagant, and a couple of other ideas for the Chinese.
