Don't need to bring China into a Vietnamese military specific thread, don't you?

China and USA are rivals right now, so of course you won't offer a friendly gesture to your main rival.

Does it make sense to you?

We think about what US thought, US acts, not China by this.
China could invite anyone if they want, we don't care. We care about what US act as response. Translate to the meaning.

US know everyone follow their response, so they decided not to come as invited.
That's a clear answer of American to our doubt. ( our not always means Vietnam only )

The US is always hostile towards China, is this anything new?

Not that new, but new things are Vietnam has been inviting to more events which US host, far away from our coast.
That never happen before.

Because the US is trying to cozy you up, while treating China as a main rival.

Hence the different treatment, do you understand?

Yes !!! Thanks for your explanation. A small question, do you agree with Chinese members always create thread with something like "China created Aegis killer , carrier killer, SLBM ICBM could reach to all cities of USA" ? Sound like North Korea media ?

The US also has at least 50% of their nukes aiming at China, while the other half aiming at Russia.

This is no secret, but the great powers just don't mention that in a diplomatic way on the table, but under the table, it is full of proxy war.

Ok. Get it. But did you see US members here created similar threads as above ? they seem to be neutral ? So who give the source for threatening weapons to Chinese members?

Did we explicitly mention about the US in these threads?

We just opened our ICBM/SLBM threads, we didn't explicitly mention the US.

The US members also can open the threads about their ICBM/SLBM, but they don't have to explicitly mention about China or Russia, since it is quite obvious.

Did we explicitly say that we have to hit all the US cities in these threads?

Vietnam is a small country, we always love to hear there's one less big power oppose us.
So let's congrat to the better relationship between Vietnam and USA.
We change from opposing to cooperate. Is it a good thing ?

Why must keep opposing each other ?

Some other we love : North Korea and USA get better, Russia and USA get better , Japan and North Korea ; China and Taiwan ; India and Pakistan
Some others improving : Cuba and USA ; Myanmar and USA

There is no true love in the geopolitics, only the permanent national interests.

The US didn't come with you for the true love, but to think about her national interests.
