Third Chinese domination (Sui and Tang)

Third Chinese domination (Sui and Tang) was a colony in Vietnam (Southeast Asia) that lasted from 602 to 938 CE, about 336 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Chinese (Sinitic languages).

The Tang ruled the region as the Protectorate of Annam from 679. As Tang power collapsed, local Khuc and Duong families governed in China's name from 905 until Ngo Quyen's victory in 938.
