People’s Republic of China formally recognizes the communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam and agrees to furnish it military assistance; the Soviet Union extended diplomatic recognition to Hanoi on January 30. China and the Soviet Union provided massive military and economic aid to North Vietnam, which enabled North Vietnam to fight first the French and then the Americans. Chinese aid to North Vietnam between 1950 and 1970 is estimated at $20 billion. It is thought that China provided approximately three-quarters of the total military aid given to Hanoi since 1949, with the Soviets providing most of the rest. It would have been impossible for the North Vietnamese to continue the war without the aid from both the Chinese and Soviets.

It wasn't surprising that both the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union recognized the fledgling communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
The People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union were fierce competitors at times but they both stood as examples of true communism for several generations.
Even thou the USSR fought on the side of the allies after Hitler violated the non-aggression pact in 1941. During WWII, the Communist Chinese fought against the Nationalist Chinese and the Japanese.
However even as the conflict in Korea was five months away [June 25, 1950 – July 27, 1953]. the communist nations were supporting Vietnam breaking away from the French Indochina colony.
