There's still some tension with Obama and Vietnam's government. Obama was planning on not fully opening trades with Vietnam due to its government's treatment of people rebelling against the communist party.

In a way its often good for poorer countries to have lower birthrates. Its better to have 2 children you can take proper care of than 4 that you can barely afford to feed; this helps to raise standard of living.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan scrambled fighter jets on Wednesday after a Chinese military aircraft flew for the first time through international airspace near its southern islands out over the Pacific, in a move seen by Japan as underlining China's maritime expansion. Ties between China and Japan...
