This is the biggest news since Turkey shot down Sukhoi. China wins a major victory by destroying USA ally Prime Minister Nguyen Tang Dong. Thanks to our coercive humiliation of Viets with Platform 981, now VCP chooses to live peacefully with China rather than invite another brutal invasion and massacre like 1979. Now we can turn our full attention to spanking Taiwan and any other nation who may try to interfere in our military plans for Taiwan.
LOL I always see these kind Chinese Ah Q spirit on PDF, living in the delusion that China is always winning, and forever winning. Let me tell you an inconvenient truth for Chinese members interested in this: the defeat of Nguyen Tan Dung is a defeat for China. He is actually neither pro-west nor pro-china. he is in fact only pro-money, an extreme pragmatist who is always willing to sell his soul for a few dollars, whether to the west or China (@Lux de Varitas once wrote a good description about him). And after a meeting with Xi last year, they both made an agreement, with good loan deals and aids. And at the conclusion of that meeting, Xi, for the first time in history, happily invited him for a state visit to China, which Nguyen Tan Dung then happily accepted.
In other words, Xi had managed to buy him out with soft loans and aids, and who knows what else they had agreed to behind their closed doors meeting. It was looking as though Xi had managed to convince Dung to become a pro-China puppet. Nguyen Tan Dung then received criticism and suspicions for that but he still defended his reorientation towards China:

On Tuesday, National Assembly member Truong Trong Nghia challenged the prime minister about Vietnam's economic dependence on China, and said Vietnam should not receive loans or aid from China, saying that makes it harder to negotiate with China over territorial disputes.

Vietnam PM Defends China Policy
Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has defended his government's policy toward China, following legislative concerns about relations with Beijing.
Speaking to legislators in a nationally televised broadcast Wednesday, Dung said Hanoi “will do its utmost to strengthen its friendship and cooperation with China,” but added that the Southeast Asian country will “defend its territorial sovereignty” in the South China Sea.
“Our consistent policies and stances have been repeated many times," he said. "We sincerely do our best to bolster mutual friendly ties and cooperation with China in all fields,...”
...He spoke a day after lawmakers had questioned him about Vietnam’s close relations with China, including the issues of receiving aid and getting preferential loans from its northern neighbor.
Lawmaker Truong Trong Nghia from Ho Chi Minh City said Tuesday Vietnam’s economy tends to depend heavily on China “in many areas,” which threatens “Vietnam’s economic sovereignty.”

Vietnamese Lawmakers Grill PM Over China Aid
Vietnamese lawmakers questioned Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on Tuesday about Vietnam’s relations with China, including the issues of receiving aid and getting preferential loans from its northern neighbor.
In a question-and-answer session with Dung, broadcast live on state-run TV, lawmaker Truong Trong Nghia from Ho Chi Minh City said Vietnam’s economy tends to rely heavily on China “in many areas,” which threatens “Vietnam’s economic sovereignty.”
“Our voters ask us not to borrow loans from China at this time as Beijing has disputes [over the South China Sea] with Vietnam, invades Vietnamese territory and threatens to do more,” Nghia said as Dung looked on.
Nghia said that practice would put Vietnam in a difficult situation, if it decides to bring China to the international arbitration tribunal in the future.
Nghia’s questioning comes two weeks after one of Vietnam's largest financial institutions said it received $200 million in a five-year credit deal from the China Development Bank during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Hanoi.
These all happened late last year after Xi’s visit and negotiation with Nguyen Tan Dung. Now you all can know why suddenly the VCP have decided to kick him out. The defeat of Nguyen Tan Dung is a defeat for China since he is a pragmatic politician who China could buy out, and it was looking as though Xi was succeeding in doing just that. Unfortunately for China, Dung was given the boot.
