More than 30 years has passed since the war between china and viet. I have to say, it was a wrong war happened in a complicated envirments. Before that war, china and viet are friends like china and PK now. So we lose a friend, no matter for what reason. We should stop and learn from that war. China and viet got nothing, the border problem has beed dealed via negotiation at last, so why did we fight then?
Viet still keeps her eyes on china and has a large army because u think someday china will fight with you again. The prejudice is hard to eliminate but we shall try. Hope someday, after the disputed islands (or something else) are resolved, we can be friends again.

Good to see Chinese with those thought. But one thing I want say more is "the prejudice" which you said, @
Jose4Zhou.
It's not only from war in past, but also come in the fact right now. That is rise of China influence on others country. Some is good, but some is not good and became worse because it's too fast risen. That was made many trouble.
Example like this nazi comment:
hey jose, there is no political friendship - certainly none between chinese and viets - that comes before political animosity. in politics the first order of business is to identify the ones you hate. and then, only then, do you make friends with people who hate those you hate.
the value of political friendship - not personal friendship - i always derivative and always derives from the intensity and authenticity of the feeling of hatred. we briefly made friends with viets in keeping white pigs from continental east asia, but most of the history between us and the viets is filled with hate. that hate is far more authentic than whatever flimsy, lukewarm feelings we had back in 50's and 60's.
and by the time the island issues are revolved, most viets here would probably be killed and certainly none will have been left to befriend you, jose. don't talk like a woman as if everything should be rosy and pink, jose.
His view fill with hatred and negative, so He think there is almost hatred among Vietnamese and Chinese when It come to say about each others.
It's just likely in thousands fiction in China sites which hunger for blood and pride of China's rise.
I say for sure there is almost Chinese didn't know enough about Vietnam and Vietnamese's thought. Most things which they know just came from China media with nearly full hatred and aggression, considered Vietnam like betrayal and ungraceful.
Too fast risen and arrogant illusion in Chinese media propaganda with too much national pride making everything became worse.
Agree.
But the solution should be friends, not enemies. The hetrid is the problem of almost all asian countries. See what happens everyday in mideast, confrontation is enough.
The west also make the relitionship worse, to profit them with our blood. We should consider a way to eliminate hate and cease fire.
Which part you agreed with him!?
United in Asian country is great. I also agree that peace and war are two side of coin, but now, time of wars should pass.
China was rising, that could bring many benefits and balance in region.
With that thought on mind, Japan was want to made a closer relationship with China in 2006, 2007, but nearly impossible right now.
It need more people with proper thought in China about future, not ******* thirsty for blood and revenge for national pride in China's net fictions.
