crushed? Viet monkeys were our servants for 1006 years
If they are strong how come they were ruled by foreign powers for such a long history?
And no, Viet monkeys didn't crush the French and the Yankees, it was all due to Chinese interference. Without our assistance those chimps can't kick those foreign powers out. So your point is Vietnam should be stronger than the US military right this moment considering the US lost the Vietnam War?
Every time you mention how Vietnamese are stronger than Chinese you are reminding the Vietnamese that it was for 1006 years our servant. So you trying to insult the Chinese or the Vietnamese?
China has been ruled by Mongols from 1271 to 1368, then Manchurians from 1644-1912. It is not hard to beat China despite the large population.
Also China’s culture was enriched by the Vietnamese when it ruled Vietnam for over 900 years. China’s Peking Citadel and the entire Forbidden City of Beijing was overseen and designed by a Vietnamese. His name was Nguyễn An (Juan An in Chinese). Before being shipped to China, Nguyễn An was a talented official under the rule of the Trần Dynasty. However, he was later taken by the Ming Dynasty and brought back to China as a gift from the illegitimate Hồ Dynasty. From then on, he would be known in Chinese history as Juan An, a eunuch of the Ming’s imperial court. Nguyen An was a genius designer and architecture. He was a master of the use of hydraulics that also contributed to the building of the Great Wall of China. The fact that Juan An (Nguyễn An) was a Vietnamese person had been obscured in Chinese history for centuries. Chinese should research their history with Vietnam and know the great contributions to the Chinese culture.
My friend, We also crushed the armies of Champa, Thailand and Manchu. But today the Chinese have nukes and they are unpredictable so I think it’s best we seek nuclear umbrella by the NATO. Turkey is welcome to provide peace and security to people in the Far East.
Nuclear weapons are used by one nation when she is pressed till the end.
They will not take the risk of being isolated by every other nations.
This is the military forum we're discussion of the potential conflict, no one is encouraging war, tell me why Turkey launched an preemptive attack on Kurdish army at Syrian soil if you guys claim to be peace loving, Syria is sovereign nation don't you think?, bottom line there is a red line that no nation will cross to trigger war. Vietnam can invite anyone they like but if they think that they will have upper hand with foreign support and backing by seeking trouble in SCS as how they did by invading Cambodia with Soviet backing, then they just make a big mistake, not only we invade Vietnam in 1979 but annexed few islands as punishment in 1988.
And I can also throw back the same question to you, why you and other Turks didn't go to fight Kurdish in Syria instead of talk war in Turkey forum section?. I don't hate nations as you hate China, you came here all the time trying to stir up trouble, you think you can vent your frustration by support Vietnam, Japan...against China? no you just show your complex of inferiority which you're so hopeless and desperate...We Chinese don't have such sentiment of inferior complex toward Turkey which why we rarely go to Turkey section of forum, in fact we're not interested nor envy anything from Turkey.
it took China only few ships to defeat Vietnam Navy such as during 1970s and 1988, we will steam roll Vietnamese Navy and islands defense with 40 warships with and AC. You talk like yourself as pacifist simply because you can't afford a war against China but if Cambodia instead of China, you will have different attitude...you guys are the least pacifist among the South East Asia nations.
China has a lot of internal problems to deal with and not stupid enough to send troop to Vietnam now. They have much more serious enemies to face around their border and in deep see. Theoretically speaking, if Vietnamese can resist the war for 1 month then they will receive massive support from the world to counter China. Look, China cannot build the trustworthy relationship with its neighbors, naming Japan, South and North Korea, Pakistan, Indian and even with Russia (This country needs China to counter US but not really trust China as a longterm ally). What Vietnamese people should concern about is the strategy that China uses to gradually damage the country until they are able to completely control it. Traditional warfare is not an option for China.
Vietnam is a very honorable country. Like Imperial Japan, they will defend their country to the last man. They won independence from France. Caused too many casualties to the US, and pushed back the Chinese. If the Chinese were to invade they would have a tough war especially against guerrilla troops.
There will be NO winner. If Vietnam get a broken arm, China will have a bloody nose. Remember what happened to Chinese factories and Chinese people in Vietnam when Haiyang 981 oil platform moved to Vietnam's water in 2014? It was just oil platform, so what gonna happen if China really want to start war with Vietnam? I am sure the Vietnamese WILL fight till their last breath, history has proven.
Take notes that Russia is also friendly to Vietnam, falling economy forced them to co-operate more with CN does not mean that they have no awareness to China's actions. In 1979 who remember Russia moved their army just right on china's border when they were fighting with viets.
