Of course that's true. Vietnam isn't a big piece on the chess board. But it's like a horse in the center now, which means it's small but it has a strategic value now. It's very assertive about the South Chine Sea issue. South China Sea has two strategic importance. First it's location is like a...

That's one reason. True. And there is more, Vietnamese economic reform Doi Moi (1986) came a decade after the Chinese "Reforms and Opening up" (1978) which made them lose a lot of time to create a "Socialist oriented market economy". Also Vietnamese economic reforms were much more protective...

You have fought bravely in the two wars that's true. And beaten the US that's the history. But for the Chinese case it was a little bit different wasn't it? I mean they couldn't even launch a full scale attack because of the USSR threat. A great portion of their army was just waiting idle in...

Ok I guess there is a problem and let me clarify myself more because obviously there is some misunderstanding going on here. First of all, Vietnam on one side keeping it's natural ally even after the fall of USSR which is Russia. On the other side Vietnam wants other strong friends since only...

Officials from AVIC clearly stated that China will make it's own jet engines for J-10 and J-20 models. Jet engine is a bottleneck in Chinese aviation industry. That's why they have imported the Russian Saturn AL-31 engines and installed it to J-10s. If it wasn't the case than J-10 will probably...

Maybe China should hire you to work on their stealth projects. You have a tremendous capability of rating the quality of the stealth by just looking at photos. You can work at home and make millions with that skill. Good for you. I mean seriously do you really believe that the guys who work on...

Great news for development of China. High speed railways can be an alternative for planes in the near future. Railways mean clean transportation.

Well if we are talking about US-Vietnam relations, nothing had changed pretty much. Even immediately after the war Vietnam was calling for normalisation of ties with the US. The normalization formally occured in Clinton era in 1995, not because of Vietnam, but because of US preconditions (the...
