Japan, Vietnam blame China for maritime tensions

Just a tribute? I admitted we are too soft on you in the past, thath is a mistake.we should behave like your former western masters ,colonize you and make you slaves, otherwise agent orange you. That should be the right way to deal with you this kind of clowns

big mouth.

You are slaves of Japan and white men until 1999. You are half independence citizen now.

No, you don´t get it.

the reason why we won the war is the French underestimated our intelligence. the weapons we received from China helped but were not the decisive factor to win the encounter.

the French had amassed the best troops for the decicive battle. you perhaps don´t know but thousands of former German army elite soldiers were deployed for the battle. the Germans were the best ones who inflicted the most casualty on the Vietnamese army. Plus their french troops had more modern weapons and received financial and logistic supports from America. US pilots conducted aerial attacks on our troops.

the heavy casualty among the Vietminh happened in the first days of the battle. after this, we adopted new tactics to overcome the french bunkers.

There was Soviet weapons, China given what china received from Soviet Union.

Once China becomes considered a peer to the US, both economically and militarily then the mindset will change. This will be obvious to all sometime in the 2020s.

Also at this moment in time, some Asians think that Indian can somehow "balance" China. A country like India, that is made up of many nations, can never challenge a unitary state like China as it's primary focus is on keeping itself together rather than pushing it's economy forward. In the 2020s while India is still very much a 3rd world country China will look and feel like a 1st world country and then all these Asians(even the Indians themselves) will realise that China is in a totally different league to India. Once this happens, even the proud Japanese who I respect for becoming the first Asian country to industrialise will accept China's place as the leading nation in Asia.

India is insignificant. India never dominate before so it is hard to picture India lead anything. They tend to stay out of any geopolitical clash.
