Nanyue was one of the breakaway post-Qin kingdoms. It was furthest south, located in northern Vietnam. Here's some of my prior threads asking about the time period when it was a vassal to the Han:

So what happens if Nanyue is brought into consistent Chinese control, and over the centuries and dynasties, is slowly sinicized and becomes as Chinese as, say, Fujian, or Yunnan?

How does this affect Indochina?

And to beat upon a different horse- was there ever a chance that a similar thing could have happened in northern Korea? Based on prior discussions it seems less likely, because while there were Chinese occupations in the commanderies and general meddling with different Korean kingdoms, China never really exerted direct control there.
