"Facing China threat, Vietnam seeks American balance" Of course,
when facing American threat, Vietnam seeks China balance.
This is what we called spineless and ungrateful.
Back to the topic.
History-less Vietnamese don't ever know (or pretended not to know) that China imposed two per-conditions for normalizing Sino-US relationship: 1) withdrawal of US troop from Taiwan; 2) withdrawal US troop from Vietnam.
Listen Vietnamese ingrates: without the meeting between Zhou and Nixon, you people would still be mowed down like weed.
(Dam it! Perhaps I should have supported US invasion of Vietnam, had I known they are so ungrateful: next moment they would turn their fang against US relentlessly again without any hesitation!
