Or drilling for oil as just happened near Vanguard Bank where the Repsol drilling rig is located. I don't see any chinese island anywhere near that area, so.............. oh surprise..........Its the waters.

China's actions on the ground already make it very clear that they claim all the waters which is the reason why they claim that military ships need their permission to pass and when they do, they followed / shadow them constantly. Every time a country says that they will send ships to patrol...

Vietnam says others should respect its right to drill for South China Sea oil http://www.reuters.com/article/us-southchinasea-vietnam-china-idUSKBN1AD1FB January 17, 2013.Quang Le HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam on Friday said other countries should respect its legitimate right to drill for oil in...

I would put money into longer range ballistic and cruise missiles in order to strike deep into China, combat UAV's armed with anti ship / air to ground missiles, get the damn AWACS planes once and for all, they might have been ordered already but in secret as usual, I don't know.

As I told the chinese trolls yesterday: 'Time running out' to solve North Korea crisis – US Army chief of staff https://www.rt.com/usa/397769-us-army-chief-north-korea/

Don't think too much about that, I had read it also, Its just speculation, what it means is that the Russians believe that there is market in Vietnam to sell up to 200 tanks over the long run, but its just a marketing wish, who knows how it will go. It would be nice though.

Escalation sees Itu Aba allocated howitzers EMPTY THREAT?The Vietnamese military has dug artillery positions on Sandy Cay, 13km from Itu Aba, but has not yet occupied them with military pieces, an official said By Lo Tien-pin and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer...

The problem is that there is no reasonable diplomatic solution that can work for both sides. US demands that he gives up nuclear weapons and he will not, as the article says, they know that's the one thing he will not give up, therefore, if china does not commit to massive economic damage to NK...

Trump's determination to make sure that NK will not become a nuclear threat to the American mainland overrides the political, economical and social consequences of such an action. The guy is a lose cannon and certainly trigger happy. China may end up learning that the hard way.

Obviously you are not aware of the statement from a top US general a few days ago saying that there will be US military action if the current situation has not changed (and they don't think it will change) in the next few months. Trump already made up his mind. But nope, you surely know better...

Well, in this new situation Vietnam can't act alone or it will lose, Vietnam does not have the military capacity to stop China, we can dream as much as we want, but reality doesn't go away. The only way to oppose China is having a strong alliance with a big power. We'll have to see what happens...

My feeling is that VN will do a tactical pause to think very well about the options and plan the next steps and consult with friends. I think the drilling will go on again later in the year and by the way, the Spanish company already spent $300 million on this project. Still, there is no...

China's Window of Opportunity in the South China Sea Domestic and international stars have aligned to give China a chance to put forward a solution. By Xue Li and Cheng Zhangxi July 26, 2017 http://thediplomat.com/2017/07/chinas-window-of-opportunity-in-the-south-china-sea/ The South China...

That's right, we have a new situation now, the bully said: "stop the drilling or we attack your islands", that's the new chinese way of behaving in this region, they already feel that is almost theirs. Bad situation and there hasn't even been a comment or condemnation from USA, Trump is busy...

Just want to say that I always like your perspective and we often think the same way about VN. I often feel frustrated because if I say all that I really think, I'll end up deported. Come to Da Nang sometime, you'll like it.

Excellent analysis and very correct in all points. Every analysis that TRULY understand how chinese people think, hits the right point by always mentioning the century of humiliation, the opium wars and the Japanese invasion. Those are the key points that shape the thinking and actions of the...

Step by step my friend, people come back from their travel and they talk to their family and all their friends, the word spreads fast. Its not just upper class anymore, there is a large middle class of easy 200 million in China and growing fast. They love to travel, usually to Thailand and Japan.

But I will tell you something, Japan is one the favorite countries that chinese tourists travel to and when they go there, they see a different type of country and different type of people than what the chinese regime tells them. Just 2 months ago when in China, I was talking to a girl that is...

I'm not so sure about that part, the Japanese are very, very nationalistic and have a deep dislike for chinese. I feel Japan can hold its position as long as they are not abandoned by USA. Time will say anyway.

Absolutely. As much as it is totally true that Japan is the main target of humiliation, that's mainly for internal consumption in order to galvanize the emotions of chinese public opinion and direct their anger towards an external enemy and in turn, that portraits the chinese regime as the...
