Abstract
In late August 1945, after Japan©s sudden collapse ended World War II, Chinese forces
marched into northern Vietnam to take the Japanese surrender there. They would not
leave again for more than a year. Drawing on extensive Vietnamese and French archival
and newspaper research, this note discusses relations between Chinese forces, local
Vietnamese (including the new Vietnam government and its adherents), and Chinese
residents in northern Vietnam during this brief but trying interlude between the Second
World War and the First Indochina War.
