    “In 1974, the Chinese army forcefully ousted South Vietnamese forces from the strategically and economically important Xisha (Hoang Sa in Vietnamese Paracel in English) Islands in the South China Sea. Although South Vietnam had occupied the islands for many years, one reason China chose to act in 1974 is that it did not want North Vietnam to occupy the Xisha Islands after unification, for that would have made it militarily and politically more difficult for China to gain control of the islands.”
