I doubt China would see the US attempt to create a puppet state right on their border and decide to stay passive even if they don't like Vietnam.

That's why I asked for specific context, if 'back' means help them in the case of another imperial invasion then I agree, but 'China will back Vietnam soon' by itself is ambiguous
