Sign of weakness and cowardice are your words not mine. Your fellow Vietcongs were acting tough against China because of the oil rig, comments such as kicking out Chinese factories, migrant workers were all over the place. And yes your jungle people behaved like barbarians for killing, burning and looting. Now that your jungle made an apology and ready to compensate financially for the losses it just proofs all the tough talks from you guys are nothing but a big joke. Same goes for Japan, 2 years ago your fellow country men here said Japan doesn't need China, move all the Japanese factories to Vietnam, let Chinese workers lose all the job. Two years have passed and look at where the Japanese factories are, geeez still in China and Abenomics is showing sign of cracks. Begging from Japan who can't save itself and teaming up with a dying economy against China? Wake up, know your place in the world order. You guys here might hate China but your government knows not to let the situation escalate to a point of crisis between these 2 Communist countries. Japan and Vietnam needs China more than vice versa let that be clear comrade.
