Nguyen Ai Quoc was early pseudonym. In 1945 at the end of World War II, the Chinese under Chiang Kai-shek invaded Vietnam instead of attacking the Japanese. 200,000 Chinese troops occupied Vietnam when the war ended. Ho Chi Min and other Vietnamese nationalists diplomatically worked to restore the order of things before the war and have the French return to Vietnam. Many were very critical of Ho for enabling the French Colonials to return with 15,000 troops, as they replaced the Chinese forces. After he made this statement, the Vietnamese then ousted the French and gained their independence but are continuously wary of China, their neighbor to the North and traditional enemy. To this day, Chinese maps refer to Vietnam as “The South-East China Province.”
