True, some white US members are very nice here like Ka-El, he always support VN bcs he understand that VNese just wanna live peacefully like the others, we want No trouble except big countries force us to fight back.
US can force EU stop using Huawei 5G bcs CN is weak, she also control Nothing crucial (like SCS(east sea)), so CN cant pose any threat to US. Thats why CN is suffering population declining like Russia, JP due to US's control (forced JP to sign Plaza Accord ) and sanction (since Soviet era). So, its just the matter of time for CN to be under US's control (like JP) or collapse (like Soviet) bcs CN failed to have enough young people to keep up the technology race .
ASEAN solidarity is good, support from EU-Russia to VN against US is good, too, but if US try to force EU stop FTA deal wt VN, then support from ASEAN-EU-Russia is simply not Strong enough to make arrogant white US guys to stop making trouble for VN. If we lose the FTA deal wt EU, then our economy, our population will start declining like Russia-JP-CN soon bcs people cant find enough good jobs, they dont have money to raise their kids.
S0, no choice but blocking SCS(east sea) wt sea mines if US make VN lose FTA deal when Support from EU-Russia-CN are not strong enough . If US hurt VN, then they and their allies will suffer, too
The best defense is a good offence, VN will retaliate any one try to hurt VN. After 10 years conflict, Thai understanded that our tank battalion to come to Bangkok at any time. We r not only send warning to Thai, but to CN, too by sending boats spy around her Hai Nan naval base everyday.

Vietnam is building up its maritime militia in the
South China Sea in an apparent challenge to Chinese efforts to dominate the disputed waterway, according to a Chinese military magazine.
Beijing claims almost all of the South China Sea, but Hanoi is one of several rival claimants. Like China, the Southeast Asian country has a long tradition of using its maritime militia to defend its claims.
“Vietnam’s maritime militia force and their activities in waters near Hainan, the
Paracel Islands and
Spratly Islands have threatened China’s maritime law enforcement and national defence security,”
Naval and Merchant Shipsmagazine said in an article published last week.
The matter must be “taken seriously and dealt with in a timely manner”, it said.
Vietnam passed a law in 2009 that authorises its maritime militia to conduct sea patrols and surveillance, and confront and expel intruding foreign vessels in defence of Vietnamese-controlled islands and reefs.
While the
European Union has estimated that about 8,000 fishing boats and 46,000 fishermen are part of Vietnam’s maritime militia, the magazine said the latter figure could be over 70,000. When not catching fish, these trained militiamen took part in a range of missions, sometimes in cooperation with the Vietnamese navy, it said.
T
he missions included covert spying on Chinese military facilities and ships, and sometimes deliberately clashing with Chinese coastguard vessels to attract Western media attention, the magazine said.
