Based on how they handled PVA remains, it sounds like they don't.
Along with the Chinese and literally every other army. There is a reason why Vietnam was always wary of and currently has hatred towards China. In every single war, atrocities happen. The worst and best of us all come out. There is no such thing as kindness in war. Go piss on the enemy all you want if you are a participant in the war. But pissing on their corpses decades or even centuries after the war is a different story. You are taking advantage of their inability to fight back to get revenge. That is extremely low. There is one thing to piss on the decision makers' corpses as that scares future leaders from making the same mistakes their predecessors did. However pissing on a dead corpse of some long dead soldier is the bitchiest and lowest level of behavior a human being can perform.
I guess you just don't get it. I've been talking about justice all this while. Not the morality of grave desecration or whatever.
You're changing the goalpost. From WW2 to ancient China to Sino-Viet war. Stop it! The PVA were not angels themselves. They were conducting ethnic cleansing on the Chinese Vietnamese. They torture and kill their POWs. American or Chinese. War is hell. Vietnam started that war, and did all of those things. Both sides did bad stuff. Don't suddenly pick the Vietnamese side just to prove your petty point.
Stop confusing people. The argument was simple, if your enemy disrespected your people and your dead. Why should they expect the same respect to be afforded to theirs?
Does pissing on a dead person who wasn't even a decision maker sound likea remotely respectable thing to do? Go beat up a terminally ill British elder like the Americans do to Chinese elderly in Chinatown and brag to your family and friends about that. I won't be surprised that you will be disowned on the spot.
Moving the goalpost again. When a Japanese soldier murders helpless Chimese women and children. He gets a medal, ration, and comfort women. Better yet, he gets enshrined in the Yasukuni when he dies. This is real life! Tell me, that his grave does not deserve to be insulted. Tell me that he is innocent because he was merely a soldier.
Don't talk to me about some bullshit about beating some British elderly in peacetime. It's a lousy argument. Only the depraved idiots think about attacking the helpless for whatever reason. If you assault any elderly for no a good reason, you go to jail. Simple. Howabout you ask yourself, how many Asian haters went to jail for beating up helpless Asian elderlies?
What I've been talking about all this time are foreign soldiers coming to your home country in wartime, conducting murder, pillage, and rape. They don't get no punishment. In fact, many were awarded and enshrined. So when some decendants of the victims wanna insult those dead soldiers. You call wanna that wrong? What kinda argument is that?
The Yakasuni shrine is a monument, not a corpse, and monuments act as rally points for political groups. Those are two different things. Had I bumped into a corpse of Japanese IJA soldier in 2023, I would call the authorities and have them send back the remains to Japan in a respectable manner because I am not an active participant in the war.
Then you're as naive as I think you are. Yasukuni shrine honors the dead. Attacking that is no different to attacking the graves of the soldiers enshrined in it. What is the point of arguing over human remains and a shrine to their memory?
You wanna talk about the peacetime etiquette of handling wartime corpses as some kind of ultimate value? That is so lame. In times of war, nobody cares. Look what the enemy did to Chinese corpses in wartime. And you so willingly forgive them, so that you could prove a point about respecting the dead? C'mon!
