Most people blame the government for acting "weak", instead of a loud mouth like the Philippines. Some even demands a war which I believe they'd flee the hell away right at the moment it starts.What are the sentiments of the uninformed population in Viet Nam though? Do they feel a war coming or business as usual?
blame the government for her acting "weak" in diplomatic relationship, haha, just another similarity between China and Vietnam.Most people blame the government for acting "weak",
war is likely to come if there are brainwashed nationalists out there, regardless of nationalities in the first place, thinking war is a video game. with zero own casualty. it is better for everyone if we all focus our strength and resources to make a better life for everyone, not how to destroy it. as for Viet kieu, there are political dickheads as seen elsewhere but they are in the minority. China is surely a hot topic, but nobody goes so far calling for war. Housten Bellaire Boulevard, in an area where many Viet kieu reside, even street signs are in Vietnamese.Why the heck would a war be looming? SEA is clearly moving away from the tumultuous aftermath of the end of the colonial era, everyone's focus is on making money now.

The Chinese government is very rational,otherwise you can imagine if the government listen to the so called "people's voice",Japan would be the first one to vanish.war is likely to come if there are brainwashed nationalists out there, regardless of nationalities in the first place, thinking war is a video game. with zero own casualty. it is better for everyone if we all focus our strength and resources to make a better life for everyone, not how to destroy it. as for Viet kieu, there are political dickheads as seen elsewhere but they are in the minority.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Rescuers have recovered the bodies of three military personnel on a helicopter that crashed into a mountain during a training flight in southern Vietnam in the latest in a series of accidents involving the military aircraft.
Hundreds of soldiers, militiamen and forest rangers were mobilized for search in Ba Ria Vung Tau province, said a local military officer, who declined to be named.

The two navies will be discussing defense ties during the frigate's visit.
The Canadian Navy's HMCS Vancouver docked at Saigon Port in Ho Chi Minh City today to conduct a goodwill visit as part of WESTPLOY 16.
WESTPLOY16 part of the frigate's deployment aimed at building stronger ties between the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and navies in Asia-Pacific countries, while also promoting peace and security in the region, said a statement from the RCN.
Commodore Jeff Zwick, commander of Canada’s Pacific Fleet, confirmed that talks will be held on national defense between Canada and Vietnam during the visit. After that, the ship will continue on to several other countries in the Asia-Pacific region before returning to Esquimalt, British Columbia, at the end of the year.

Since its departure from Esquimalt in June, the Canadian Halifax-class frigate has operated extensively throughout the Pacific region, and participated in international maritime exercises such as RIMPAC and KAKADU.
KAKADU, held through September 12-24, 2016, is a joint, biennial exercise hosted by the Royal Australian Navy and supported by the Royal Australian Air Force, with 20 nations participating, including Vietnam.
Vietnam has frequently welcomed warships from other countries, including the U.S., Japan, India, Australia and France. Earlier this month, the guided missile destroyer, the USS John S. McCain, arrived in Vietnam following its first visit in 2014 for naval exercises, seeking to reinforce military ties.
In April, two Japanese guided-missile destroyers made port at Cam Ranh Bay Port, Vietnam’s new international port. In July, the coast guard ship Kojima also arrived in Da Nang for a five-day visit.
Prior to the trip of President Francois Hollande in September, France also sent its amphibious assault ship the Tonnerre to Cam Ranh Bay on a friendly visit.
