I think you are thinking of what we consider the war in Vietnam.
China backed north Vietnam and didn't move into the country. However, they were the stage of counter-attack against the US forces.
Provided arms, tactics, and intelligence. But didn't want to overtly go against the US.


China invaded Vietnam in 1979 in an attempt to get them to withdraw from Cambodia. They drove to Hanoi, and then withdrew. Vietnam kept occupying Cambodian anyway.

They were no where near Hà Noi. They were stuck in Cao Bang. That's 170 miles away.
