Hi hypocrite, long time no talk. No Viets trolling right? Just me? Way to lose what little credibility you have left.
Who says China can't take any or all of Vietnam's remaining islands? Militarily, assuming all bets are off/no holds barred, Vietnam is incapable of stopping China.
If you don't believe me, refer to that video I posted of Viets being turned into swiss cheese by the PLAN. Must have been General NiceGuy in charge if those idiot VietCongs decided it was a good idea to land a bunch of AK armed infantry onto a shallow coral formation with zero cover.
Politically, it makes no sense for China to unilaterally start a war in the SCS when China is doing just fine reclaiming land and building airstrips - basically committing resources on a level Vietnam can't hope to match for a hundred years. When a point needs to be made, China parks its oil rigs right off Vietnam's coast. Yeah, Vietnam gets the message.
This of course doesn't meant that China "can't" take Vietnamese islands since the PLA and PLAAF easily outclass whatever Vietnam brings to the table. You're confusing lack of political desire with military ability. You *do* realize the two are not the same right? I'm honestly not sure you understand. I'm assuming a low base level of intelligence on your part since you've somehow come to the conclusion that I'm the only one trolling this thread and the Viets aren't trolling in this thread.
