Why would they invade , and not create a puppet regime instead ? It will much more sense and less resource . And also less negative perception from the world ? 

Why wouldn't they ? And having a puppet state is not enough of an iron first solution for them, they will go to great lengths to destroy any of their properties that will proclaim independence such as Taiwan ... 

Besides, if they conquer Vietnam they get to control their former military bases at the South China Seas giving more control over those waters!
