Taiwan, USA help Vietnam to train servicemen for sub-hunter P-3C Orion

[BoQ77]

According to Canada's Kanwa Information Center, Vietnam is currently building a docking station for the new subs in a quiet and secluded area about 60km north of Cam Ranh Bay. From the new base, the subs will be able to cruise disputed waters in the South China Sea and carry out surveillance and deterrence against foreign vessels.

Additionally, Vietnam is also trying to elevate its remote submarine detection capabilities, with sources claiming that the US has already promised to export its P-3 Orion anti-submarine aircraft to Vietnam and that Vietnamese officers are being sent to Taiwan and the US to learn the technology

I find it highly unlikely, in light of our recent military built up to counter your threat to our Taiping Island . Do you have a better source than Kanwa?

your govt may not agree with your own opinion, they didn't consider Vietnam as any threat to them.

Taiwan won't "help" Vietnam in any way that would strengthen their hold on the islands that Taiwan considers under Vietnamese occupation. Period.

You seek help from others.

From Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) reiterates its position on the South China Sea

Regarding the South China Sea, which has received much attention in the international community lately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) reiterates its position as follows:

1. No matter from what perspective one uses—history, geography or international law—one can see that the Nansha Islands (Spratly Islands), Shisha Islands (Paracel Islands), Chungsha Islands (Macclesfield Islands), Tungsha Islands (Pratas Islands), as well as their surrounding waters, and respective seabed and subsoil, all consist of the inherent territory of the Republic of China (Taiwan). These archipelagoes without a doubt fall under the sovereignty of the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Therefore, the government reasserts that it enjoys all rights over the islands and their surrounding waters. Furthermore, it cannot accept any claim to sovereignty over, or occupation of, these areas by other countries or territories.

Still dreaming of Taiwan handing over Taiping island to Vietnam?

 

[BoQ77]

PRC aim to invade entire of Taiwan islands, not just an isolated island in SCS which Vietnam never ask Taiwan to return.

are you sure? VN government re-states over and over again the sovereignly over the island. though we will NOT resort to violence to take it back.
by the way, that is very UNLIKELY that we lean on Taiwan for trainings. In doing so, we will provoke PRC unnecessary. Or is there anything I don´t know?

It is not invasion, it is re-unite..
Taiwan is part of China, which mainland call it PRC and Taiwan call it ROC.
Just like north Vietnam re-unite with south Vietnam..

Actually there is some economy relationship between Vietnam and Taiwan
P.R.China only prohibit other countries from setting official relationship with Taiwan
Economy and people communication is OK.

Unification, not invasion. The terms and conditions will be determined solely by Beijing.

Yes. That reunion attempt is the biggest threat to Taiwan.

Taiwan has no say? you will fail if PRC alone ditates the terms for unification.
