Dude, I got almost the same as you do :toast_sign:. Thanks OP for interesting post. Economic Left/Right: -5.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

Enlight me, then? It gets confusing around here.

So then why are you so touchy about that? Everyone knows China now is big and powerful, but it started weak and small. Every nations are like that. What's wrong with it?

Dude, please look at post #17. There is nothing to ashamed about CCP army had a hard time struggling against a major power at that time.

Dude, @Viet was saying the truth. CCP guerrila army were mostly peasants, and were poorly equipped. VN had a better start in the war with US. The early period of VN-France war was similary to CCP-Japan war: abandoning the cities, retreat to mountains, playing hide and seeks.

There is a misunderstanding here. Even though we did use Chinese characters for writing for a long time, VN still has its own language. As a heavily-Chinese-influenced country, it was easier for us to pick up an already existing writing system instead of creating our own. VNese culture is proud...

I doubt it. Because to the West, we were known as Anamese (during the colonial period). When we kicked French ***, they changed to call us VNese. Guess that it always takes something for people to change, right?

That I have to give respects to CCP guerrila fighters. With spears and blades, even with their fists, they fought against the Japanese. They were brave people.

Oops, sorry. I just saw the title and the image, and thought it is going to be another nuclear plant. :p: Still Japan might become the first floating country with this kind of technology. First floating city, then floating power plant. Won't be long before floating farm, floating mining platform...

Time will change everything. Before people still call Saigon by the old name Gia Dinh, now I don't see anyone use that anymore.

You mean now or back then? With the Frence came in we all became Anamese FYI. Of course Minh Mang was a pro-France, so he changed it without Qing govt agreement. He might want to use Dai Nam for the whole French Indochina colony. Too bad the French disagreed.

Well, later Minh Mang emperor changed the name to Dai Nam. I guess that is that, huh?

I doubt everyone will like this idea. I am personally against it, the risk is too high. A similar accident like Chernobyl will damage the whole world, not a country alone.

Dude, if you guys keeps using English, then I am fine. But when you get hot-headed, you guys start using Chinese, please don't do that here on PDF. Respect our Pakistan friends.

I will translate the wiki for you "Vietnam first appeared in Nguyen Dyansty. Gia Long emperor requested the Qing govt to use the name "Nam Viet" but was denied because ancient China had a country with the same name so it was reversed to become Vietnam.... However, there are evidences that...

"History is written by the victor, history is filled with lies." Boys, please don't turn this into another of Chinese "civil war" thread. CCP was the victor, though not completely, they earned the right to write the history. It might not be the truth, but it is history. Let's discuss it in a...

"War is business, and business is good" - by someone... I already forgot his name.

Good, I hate bananas:guns::victory:

Thanks buddy for supporting VN. China actually warms up its relationship with S.Korea, as N.Korea starts shaking off China hands. You know the recent rumor of Kim sending tanks to NK-China border. China also maintains a large force in the North East region to keep both the Russian and NK in...

The gap between VN and China tech surely isn't as great as it was between VN and US. Sure you might say "VN had China and Soviet tech at that time", but you honestly think both countries gave VN top-nortch equipment back then? Surely both countries highest priority was to keep VN and US...
