ever, you ask why? China has always failed in Vietnam wars ancient, because, you always think of the war according to you, but when the war happened, we never now fight the way you think, because of the way you fight, the only new kids think so, we never fight the way stupid as you think
You only know guns, heavy weapons, while you never think of the people, strategy, ...
Our proverb says: Know the enemy to know me, hundred battle hundred wins
Here is the original version: 知己知彼, 百战不殆
Sun tzu said:If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Sun Wu, better known as Sun Tzu or Sunzi, was an ancient Chinese military general, strategist and philosopher who is traditionally believed, and who is most likely, to have authored the "Art of War".
There are many things you think belong to you, but actually from China.
Do you know the names of your claimed islands have been altered from their original Chinese names by your government? So what are their "original vietnamese names" since you guys claim that you find them first? How come they have only altered Chinese names?
We don't want war, we are not interested in your land. We only want to protect our islands. The civilians one those islands occupied by you are actually real soilders without uniform. Did your government tell you that? You invited Americans, British, Russian to the sea area in your control to drill oil. That is not a good gesture for us. That irratates us, and make us think you are not going to negotiate.
Even as you said, China is a expansionism country. It is not the right time for us to do that, because we are focusing on economic development, we have plenty of internal problems to solve, so we need a peaceful international evironment. We don't need to fight you, a tiny country, to show our power, China is not that cheap, don't underestimate us, just look at our map. We use force only when we have to, it is the highest principle. It saves time, saves life, saves resources. Only stupid nations like USA use their military powers so easily. Look at what they got. Sun tzu said: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Sun tzu is Chinese, we are Chinese.
