Ja chinese heros are numerous in history, but you probably know too, actually no any problem at all for our people as long as they appear in novels nor they don't act as butcher in wars against Vietnam. Ah a news that made me nearly falling down from the chair.

On a recent event organized by Australian National University, when asked, Admiral Scott Swift, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, responded he would launch nuclear strike on China without thinking a second by the order of Donald Trump. The US seriously thinks of First Strike.

Beautiful pictures of Scott Swift's visit to Vietnam some time ago. The firepower of 200 warships including submarines and 1,100 naval aircraft can devastate an entire continent.

Apropos vietnamese people in Australia, accidentally coming across with this news including seeing the fight on internet:

Martin Nguyen became Australia’s first One Championship world champion 2017 in 145 pounds category. The fight happening in Kuala Lumpur on last Friday night is something a mix of Boxen and brutal Street fighting. Martin came close to a defeat when he receives hit after hit by his opponent Marat Gafurov. At the most critical moment Martin Nguyen lands a devastating right fist on Marat sending him down to the floor. The revenge is perfect. Martin lost the fight against Marat two years ago. Marat was seen as undefeatable as he never lost a fight.

Vietnam fighting spirit.

I like Japanese bushido code that demands everyone to fight to the bitter end. nevertheless it is brutal behavior and worthless sacrifice the Japanese had done to other and themselves in the very last days until surrender. Although there are light and shadow with the Japanese army. They put a great fight in battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa against the US with fighting lasting for months but collapsed within days when the USSR Red Army launched a 3,000 km giant pincer movement in the Manchuria. That is dishonorable for Japan.

Ah I believe not everyone knows it: Vietnamese army adopted similar tactic by launching a great pincer movement against the Cambodia Red Khmer army in 1978: one on the west by a tank army and one on the south by landing of Marines supported by warships, bringing the entire Cambodia army to collapse within 2 weeks.

Turkey and Vietnam look to double trade, deepen defense ties

By Associated Press07:47 BST 23 Aug 2017, updated 08:47 BST 23 Aug 2017


HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Turkey's prime minister said Wednesday he wants to double trade volume with Vietnam to $4 billion in the next three years as his country seeks to boost cooperation with the Southeast Asian country.

Binali Yildirim was making his first visit to Vietnam as prime minister, accompanied by a large business delegation.

"I believe that our bilateral trade volume will reach $4 billion by 2020 and that's doable," Yildirim told reporters during a briefing with his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The bilateral trade currently stands at $2 billion a year.

Phuc told reporters the two committed to creating favorable conditions for businesses from both countries to promote mutual trade and investment.

"There are special areas where our mutual cooperation can immediately be initiated, primarily the defense industry," Yildirim said during talks with Vietnam's prime minister.

Details on defense cooperation were not immediately disclosed, but Vietnam has in recent years sought to modernize its military with the purchase of six submarines and new jet fighters from Russia, its traditional weapons supplier, in the face of Chinese assertiveness in pressing Beijing's territorial claims in disputed South China Sea waters.

China claims most of the South China Sea, which is believed to sit on rich natural resources and occupies important international sea lanes.

The two prime ministers stressed that disputes should be resolved through peaceful means in line with international law.

Tough guy!

sis Mado, you shall appeal to indonesia government to team up with Vietnam to do more in maintaining peace and prosperity in the region. What is the purpose of all your arms purchases? Waste of money if you don't use them unleashing on the enemy. Good I understood, you don't want to anger the Chinese too much, relying on their friendship and money. As usual I expect we will have to stand on our feet alone. The Chinese clowns claim everything as theirs, threatening everyone who dares to speak up or drills in the international recognized waters.

I'm pretty sure the day when we have a squadron of nuclear submarines armed with SLBM to ensure a mutually assured destruction will be marked as the start of a hundred year long peace period in the region.

Nice profile pic comrade devil

a Indonesia firm will construct $1 billion coal port in southern part of Vietnam. ID exports 4.5m tons of coal to Vietnam this year. Right move by tapping VN rising economic power. VN could import as much as 43 million tons coal per year. For the climate that is not necessary a good news. Maybe highnoon in rethinking the strategy the Russians and Japanese should offer cheap nuclear power plants.
