ABSTRACT
The Viet Minh's victory in the border campaign changed the balance of power in the Indo-China battlefield. The Central Military Committee of the CCP (CMCC) and the Central Committee of the Indo-China Communist Party both endorsed the plan. In April 1950, the Central Committee of the Indo-China Communist Party formally asked for military advisers from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Geneva Conference about Korea and Indo-China was scheduled for April, so Zhou Enlai instructed Chinese advisers in Vietnam "In order to achieve a victory in the diplomatic field, someone may need to consider if they could follow experiences on the eve of the Korean armistice to win several battles in Vietnam. CCP leaders also believed that standing by their Vietnamese comrades would serve their goal of safeguarding China's national security interests. The Geneva Conference reached a settlement of the Indo-China problem in the early morning of 21 July, leaving Mendes-France's deadline officially unpassed.
