The Vietnamese girls who fought Chinese were north Vietnamese, and most only came of fighting age in 1978-1979

Most north Vietnamese girls did not see ground action during the Vietnam war with the US. They manned anti aircraft batteries but there was no ground fighting in the north.

It was South Vietnamese Communists in the Viet Cong in South Vietnam along with NVA that fought in the American Vietnam war.

Most Chinese boys and men in the Sino-Vietnamese war only came of age in 1979 too, almost none of them fought in earlier wars in the Korean war or with India in 1962.

Much of the Sino-Vietnamese war was mostly school or university age green recruits, Chinese teenage boys and young men versus Vietnamese teenage girls and young women, some as young as 16 or 17.

Vietnamese girls still managed to defeat the Chinese males, in both hand to hand melee combat, regular fighting with guns and capture them.

The Sino-Vietnamese war broke out in 1979, but there were already border clashes in 1978 with melee weapons (no guns). Vietnamese militia girls also particpated in the hand to hand combat in the 1978 clashes with kicking and punching, wrestling, knives, iron bars, sticks

Vietnamese militia girls managed to defeat and inflict heavy casualties on Chinese males in these clashes.

Average Chinese male was taller than Vietnamese females, but not stronger.
