Viet Cong Lt Reveals Chinese Advisers Helped Tet Plans
Viet Cong Lt Col Nguyen Van Nang testified through a Vietnamese interpreter that he saw 16 Chinese Communist advisers aiding the Communist Command’s 1968 Tet offensive planning. Nang, who surrendered May 20 west of Saigon, said the Chinese were present at meetings with the General Staff and claimed awareness of U S raids in advance via intercepted radio traffic. He linked a May 1968 offensive to attacks on towns and cities, noting captures of U S soldiers treated well at headquarters. Nang described his role as deputy commander for a Saigon west district area and said he led forces in the February and May Tet offensives.
