Vietnam has a ridiculously low military budget (because of its tiny economy of $103 billion) and it would be easily defeated by the weakest of the three ethnic-Chinese navies. Vietnam cannot wrest control of the South China Sea islands and territory from 1,400 years of Chinese dominion.
Annual military spending by ethnic-Chinese entities and Vietnam.

#2 China $114.3 billion
...
#22 Taiwan $8.5 billion
...
#24 Singapore $7.7 billion
...
#52 Vietnam $2.4 billion
"Vietnam Missile Corvette Tarantul Class"
Vietnam's navy would not last very long against:
"The Singaporean Navy Formidable-class stealth frigate Tenacious (FFS 71)"
"One of Taiwan's Lafayette-class frigates"
China's Type 054A Jiangkai II-class frigate
