I told you previously. It’s harder to beat chinese now. They dress like locals, eat like locals, behave like local Vietnamese. Not easy for rioters to recognize chinese from the crowd.

I don’t know if bought or leased
Whatever the case, the rig belongs to PV Drilling.
Japan has at least one rig in SC Sea too operating on Vietnam‘s behalf.

There is Mig 21 from time of Vietnam war, for training only. I had dropped this jet to get new one, Mig 30 MKI is much more better... :dance3:

Are the Vietnamese not going to send its navy? I thought Vietnamese are going to fight and not just talk.

Missiles were not needed in 2014 so first thing is to see if enough pressure can be mounted to convince China to move the bully rig out of Vietnam's EEZ.

I thought Vietnam is strong? Vietnam shall start anti China protest, burn Chinese factories in vietnam and attack Chinese. I am waiting for it cos our oil rig will start drilling soon. :enjoy:

China start the drilling during trade war is smart move. Many factories start shift to Vietnam but if Vietnam burn Chinese factories, it will send a wrong message to investor. But then they have to tolerate Chinese oil drilling in Spratly island. :lol:

US will not do anything but watch good show only.

Bully China.

Japan nationalized the Senkaku islands yet Xi wants to visit next year.

Fake tough show can make china yield.

coast guard? no submarines? no corvettes? just coast guard? Was hoping Vietnamese launching missiles at the Chinese.

Coast Guard is the natural first step. Same with Japan. JCG goes first, if they need back up, the JMSDF steps in.
