Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Hoang Binh Quan, the special envoy of Vietnam's communist party chief Nguyen Phu Trong, on Monday, pledging to boost party-to-party relationship and bilateral ties.

Hoang conveyed a message from Nguyen Phu Trong to Xi.

In his message, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee said the two nations are close neighbors that share the same political system and have many common fundamental interests. Developing a stable, reciprocal and cooperative bilateral relationship is both a historical responsibility and a realistic requirement, and is in the fundamental and long-term interests of the two peoples as well.

In his message, Nguyen Phu Trong said party-to-party ties had always played a leading role in bilateral ties and he called on the two sides to fully implement the consensus reached by their leaders, enhance high-level visits, cooperate more in economy, sub-national communication and people-to-people exchanges and keep peace and stability on the sea, so as to contribute to regional and world peace and prosperity.

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said it is an important tradition for the chiefs of CPC and the CPV to send special envoys to communicate with each other.

He noted that the two parties have carried on the tradition after the 12th National Congress of the CPV, which is of great significance for enhancing political mutual trust.

Xi said China and Vietnam share a common destiny, so do the CPC and the CPV. Developing bilateral ties conforms to the fundamental interests of the two countries and their people.

The president called on both sides to adhere to guidelines of long-term stability with ties underscored by comprehensive cooperation as well as the spirit of good neighbors, good friends, good comrades and good partners.

China is willing to work with Vietnam to maintain the frequency of high-level visits, improve communication on party building, and promote pragmatic cooperation, he said.

Xi also called for the proper handling of differences for the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership to develop in a sustained, healthy and steady way.

Hoang, who is also CPV international department chief, briefed Xi on the CPV 12th National Congress.

@Nihonjin1051 , the message by the General Secretary of Vietnam deserves a thesis, by itself, I feel. The emphasis on historical and geopolitical reality indicates a deep sense of political consciousness, which can't simply be viewed as a diplomatic nicety.

Bro, Japanese, Chinese and Korean flag? You're too nice a person.

Hanoi says Beijing’s actions threaten peace, stability in East Vietnam Sea

TUOI TRE NEWS

Vietnam has expressed concern that peace, security, and freedom and safety of navigation and aviation in the East Vietnam Sea are being compromised by China’s recent activities in the region.

Regarding Beijing’s deployment of fighter jets to Phu Lam (Woody) Island, the largest island in Vietnam’s Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago, and its installment of a radar system in the Southeast Asian country’s Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Le Hai Binh reiterated Vietnam’s indisputable sovereignty over the two archipelagoes in a press meeting on Thursday.

Despite the opposition and concern from Vietnam and the international community, China continues to infringe on Vietnamese territory, Binh said, adding that these moves promote militarization, threaten peace and stability, and endanger the freedom of navigation and aviation in the region.

“We resolutely protest China’s violation and demand the country have practical actions to contribute to the preservation of regional and global peace, stability, in accordance with international law including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea [UNCLOS] and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the [East Vietnam Sea] [DOC],” the spokesperson said.

He added that the matter would be addressed at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting scheduled for February 26 and 27 in Laos.

Answering questions from German news agency DPA, Binh said that the status quo is being destroyed, posing more concern for the possibility of militarization in the East Vietnam Sea.

China revealed its plan to turn features in the East Vietnam Sea into military outposts with strategic benefits by introducing surface-to-air missiles, radar, and fighter jets into the area, Denny Roy, senior fellow at the Hawaii-based East-West Center, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.

Roy denied that China’s deployment of military weaponry in the sea area is similar to the U.S. introduction of such weapons to the Hawaii archipelago prior to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to the U.S., saying that there are certain differences in the situation in the East Vietnam Sea and that in Hawaii.

Unlike Hawaii, the East Vietnam Sea is being claimed by several nations, the senior fellow continued.

The U.S. does not state its possession of the sea area between its continent and Hawaii while China has claimed authority over most of the sea, Roy elaborated.

He warned that Beijing, following recent activities, might possibly limit the fishing operation and oil exploitation in the marine territory of other countries.

China’s introduction of weaponry to the East Vietnam Sea could increase the risk of airline accidents for the flights crossing the waterway, according to the academic.

The U.S. and Taiwan have confirmed that China has been sending surface-to-air missiles to Phu Lam.

Recent satellite imagery has also showed that China is building a helicopter base on Quang Hoa (Duncan) Island, also belonging to Hoang Sa, that could be used for anti-submarine warfare missions.

On February 19, Vietnam condemned China for carrying out these activities that violate its sovereignty and endanger regional peace and stability.

[xunzi]

can you reveal me what "act" should we play if we want benefits from both America and China?

You MUST follow our leadership.

 

[Viet]

You MUST follow our leadership.

I wonder when you will begin to learn the time to dictate others is long over. Wake up!

 

[William Hung]

You MUST follow our leadership.

What do you mean? Are you saying that the relationship between CN-VN is not a relationship between equals but a relationship between master and slave?

 

[xunzi]

I wonder when you will begin to learn the time to dictate others is long over. Wake up!

So are you saying the US dictating others are over?

What do you mean? Are you saying that the relationship between CN-VN is not a relationship between equals but a relationship between master and slave?

We always look for mutual respect relationship, a win-win and equal partnership relationship. That is our foreign diplomatic goal. Following our leadership implies our developmental global vision, which included as you know it, "multipolarity, respect of sovereignty, non-intervention"

 

[Viet]

So are you saying the US dictating others are over?

No, I just said your time to dictate Vietnam is long over. there is only one superpower in the world: America. the only one, that can dictate, bully anyone as it wants, including buying China.

haven´t you listened to what Donald Trump, the US presidential candidate, said recently on CNN? he claims the US has the power to destroy China economy. in 3 minutes. I believe him. America hates competition. a wannabe bully like you. I pity you. blame yourself: you missed the chance to make Vietnam to your ally.

Because if Vietnam must follow China’s leadership as you said, and that there must be a mutual respect and equal partnership, then does that mean that China must also follow Vietnam’s leadership?

If your Vietnamese leadership align with Sino-Russia global vision, sure, why not, my friend? LOL

Yes. The US truck is using our manufacturing parts and expertise. It is the same as Buick is building in China and import to the USA.
GM to Import Chinese-Made Buick SUV - WSJ

Likewise, US truck is build in China using our supply chain expertise and sell it cheap to our Vietnamese friend. TPP will also aid in that process. A win-win-win, three head relationship. LOL Kaching, money is da bank!

[Viva_Viet]

No empire last forever. This is true historically. And Trump would be a great president of the US. I love that guy. LOL
