I grew up listening to propaganda, and that might affect how I view the US. I don't believe in "yesterday enemy, today friend" fairy tale. VN-US might be as well friend-with-benefits. Both sides approach each other with different purposes in mind. A few agreements to boost the economy are...
Urban warfare, people warfare. In fact we already did that and the US and SVN govt had to employ "strategic hamlets" to counter that. And there shouldn't be any "ifs", because we cannot change the past.
There is a way there is a will. When the French came back after WW2 with tanks and airplane, what did we had? A handful of rifles and grenades. Like you said we litteraly fight with sticks and stones. Being supported by both SV and CN didn't make fighting the US easier. But we had our ways of...
Loving CCP now become a criteria to become a Chinese citizen?
And I am not afraid a voting in Tibet, but only those have lived there for a while. I only acknowledge those whose fathers or grandfathers are burried in Tibet true Tibetans, not those who move to Tibet believing in Chinese govt...
Being a Han Chinese doesn't make one blindly love CCP. Look at Hongkong or Taiwan example. And no, it's Chinese speciality, not a Westerner product. You could stamp "Made in China" on it proudly now.
I believe in Chinese culture the sky, the earth and the people all contribute differently to the success of everything. Sure the jungle helped, but then against if the people did not have the will and gut to keep fighting against all odds, there wouldn't have been victories. I love this...
Way to derail the topic. Bravodo. And I only comment here because you dragged VN into it.
Let the Tibetans speak for themselves through their voices and their actions, not through the Chinese propaganda media or brainwashed CCP fanboys..
Huh?! Are you comparing China to VN? I don't think you should be proud that your ancestors were able to defeat Manchu or Mongol, but should instead wondering how they got defeated in the first place. Being a ancient powerhouse in Asia, it was strange how some barbarians could dominate China. On...

Noting that Sihanouk’s efforts to ensure the Kingdom’s border was respected, Hun Sun tells Ban Ki-moon the government needs the maps to “verify” its ongoing demarcation process and “end the incitement of extreme nationalism” by “some quarters” in Cambodia that “may lead to catastrophe” for...
There were numerous VNese rebellions under Chinese occupations, most of which I am sure your historians didn't record, like there were countless Chinese rebellions against Mongol, against Manchu or against Westerners.
Hey OP, can you change the title? It's not like Hun Sen asked UN to back him against VN, but rather than helping him clear the misunderstanding regarding the VN-Cam border dispute.
The bear has been unrialiable in recent years regarding how to deal with China. Unlike the Soviet who had many problems with China, modern Russians have much fewer issues when it comes to dealing with China. What is wrong with seeking a more willingful partner to deal with China?
Our current technology focus too heavily on offensive weapons. Unless mech is developed for more defensive aproach (i.e increase the survivability of soldier inside and outside the mech), I think it will be easily outdone by existing weapon platforms like tanks or light armored vehicles, which...
Chinese logic: "China builds thousands squares of artificial islands (for military purposes) on disputed sea = it's our sea, we do what we want, everyone goes screw themselves. VN build roads inside our border = VN bullies Cam, China will help Cam punish VN".
What kind of logic is that?
I think one weapon mecha can have but a tank can't: a melee weapon. With a blast shield and a slegdhammer, I think a mecha can easily crush light armored vehicles, or disable tanks by destroying the tank's sensors and weapons. Of course it only happens if the mecha can get close, but hey, aren't...
