Because Georgia attacked first so technically Russia is in the right. The Soviet Union helps a lot: - Gave billions of economic and military aids to Vietnam during the period. - Use SU's transport planes to bring main battalions from Cambodia back to Hanoi - Brought 40 of its finest...

Why not Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, etc.? You cannot pick-and-choose statistics that fit your narrative. Remember those provinces are a lot bigger than Vietnam. Btw, looking down to Vietnam? How's about you look up to America's States? You should come to Vietnam before calling it "poor" and...

These dreamed scenarios are indeed interesting if one were playing RTS video games at home. However, these relied on four big assumptions: - The world only has Vietnam and PRC, while other countries such as America, Russia, Japan, and India does not exist. Thus, PRC can spent everything it...

PRC is a lot stronger than Vietnam because of many reasons, the biggest one is its immense population, also: - PRC has been at peace for many decades while Vietnam was fighting multiple wars - PRC used Vietnam to normalize relationship with America, and Western Europe (backstabbing the Soviet...

Because: The matter concerns Vietnam and China relationship. I believe we are discussing Vietnam's on-going struggle to protect and gain back its island here. So the turbulent history between the two countries, and the victories Vietnam gained from China are relevant here. Every country holds...

Not many people use the term under-developed any more, at least in economics since it is a derogatory term that carries little economic sense. Every country in the world is either developing, or developed. Vietnam, Philippines, and India are still in developing category. PRC is also a developing...

"hot weather" is a ridiculous excuse since both sides endure the same weather. However, Vietnamese posters saying "serious internal problems," is not meant to be an excuse, but rather, a statement of fact as I have pointed to you in my previous post. After Vietnam had gained independent, China...

That can be a major discredit to your source. Next time, you should quote something more credible than that. However, I watched the clip and I can see that it is correct. So I'm here to discuss your opinion. "Empty rhetoric" is exactly how a skillful politician/diplomat manages through...

First of all, Vietnam is a country that had been taken for a thousand year but could still stand up to repel the invaders. Have you ever seen such feat in the world's history? Many Chinese invasions had been squashed by such a small country. You can blame it on Big China's inadequacies or praise...

This article discusses the potential cooperation between Vietnam and the US, with their relationship with PRC at the back drop. Russia, Japan (and soon to be India) have always been a factor that helps Vietnam keep balance to the enormous weight up North that is PRC. Introducing the US as a...

Please, read the OP for this thread again because this topic concerns about "Massacre of Muslim students in Burma." So there is no need for me to inject Buddhist people here. Furthermore, no where in my comment indicates that I have no knowledge on Buddhists involvement in the United Wa State...

Yeah, and because of that, Britain can claim the entire Atlantic Ocean since that's how British territories stretch from England to Falkland :lol: PRC cannot control 80% of the sea just because they claim to own tiny dispersed rock here and there on that sea!! During to course of this dispute...

Actually, they are Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, and Vung Tau, according to the article :D

France is pitching to sell its newest vessel to Vietnam. The ship named L'adroit is equipped with only heavy guns, and no anti-ship missile nor anti-submarine capability. Thus, it is similar to Vietnam-built costal defense ships. However, these features can be added through negotiation. The main...

Unless the situation in Myanmar rises to critical level, the policy of the West right now is "see no evil, speak no evil" since they support the new democartically-elect government there. In Syria, the West support Islamist militants because Assad's government is the enemy of Israel but friend...

It only contracted on your view because PRC claims too much. So many "losses" that you think of are only on paper. For example, PRC claimed 100 but only got 10. Thus, China only lost a piece of paper, while other countries lost 10 of their territories. Amazing trick!! Since the founding of PRC...

Very attractive offer to Vietnam considering the plane's capabilities, modern aviation, and engines. I wonder how much a unit cost, Vietnam should consider this plane to replace our aging An fleet. Furthermore, what is its minimum airstrip length for take-off/landing? This is very important for...

Who wants to be a part of China? Illustration: John Shakespeare Until now, China's territorial claims on Japan have been limited to small uninhabited rocks. And that was enough to create tension between the world's second-biggest economy and the third-biggest.But a new chorus of...

A very nice clip that shows Vietnam's current fire power.
