Do Russian arms sales to Vietnam contradict Chinese interests?

What a coincidence: Putin will visit Vietnam on November 12. And interesting: VN is the second country in the Asia-Pacific region Putin makes a visit to after China this year.

That is true. Besides Putin wants Russia to become a superpower. Again. Maybe we Vietnamese can help him a bit. Actually Putin is a bit mysterious (he was a secret service agent during the Cold war). In general Russians are smart people, but beware if they are drunken, they become crazy and erratic. So it is better not to serve rice wine during his visit.

Putin is indeed a freaking legend

Don't worry, if they are drunken, you can have them to sign the contract of giving Vietnam - best friend of Russian people some nuclear weapons~

Russia has a weak manufacturing sector, and if it weren't for arms sales, oil/gas/petroleum exports would be all it has. Therefore, China shouldn't begrudge Russia this business, and regardless, nor can it - Russia is going sell to anyone, even the Syrian rebels/islamists or Saudi Arabia, if they can afford the price tag. And ultimately it doesn't matter because Vietnam is not a credible military threat to China.

Yeah but all(maybe not all but majority) countries need Russian Oil/Gas and theirs high military tech.

I fully support Russia selling arms to Viet. The more the better. The more expensive the merrier.

I like to see the Viets go bankrupt.

This would make Vietnam an important nation to Russia, just like China.

Anyway, Putin should be a mediator between Vietnam and China.

56° ? We drink self-made 70° moon shine (called samogon). And our militaries drink pure medical spirit (96°).
Now, of course, everybody drink less. But earlier - those were the guys. Could drink a bottle of vodka wiht throat like children drink milk - and nothing, stay sober.

comrade, it would be nice if Russia provides us with another squadron of modern submarines. To your health! Prost!

The problem is China does not want mediation or interference from other powers. Vietnam would welcome Russia to mediate the dispute. Indonesia could play a role, too.
