Vietnam Defence Forum

I don’t know what you are talking about. My family originally comes from Hanoi.

VN unity was won by contributions from all the people from north to central to south. So prosperity. From inland and overseas Vietnamese.

You defend the Chinese at every occasion but they can improve the relationship to Vietnam immediately if offering a non aggression pact. That will cost them nothing. There is a reason why the Chinese don’t do it.

He also very conveniently left out the same "Vietnamese Founding Father" fought the Chinese in 1979 and MANY OCCASION SINCE. Or rather, being killed by Chinese in 1979.

The problem is, be it French, Japanese, American, or Chinese that invaded Vietnam, there are only one country in that list Vietnam is bordering to, and it's said country policy that would have direct (both positive and negative) impact on Vietnam, and that country is not France, Japan or USA. care to guess which country is that?

LOL

I love how @AViet stick up to the Chinese tho.
 
In fact, for hundreds if not thousands of years Vietnam foreign policy is very focused on China, nowadays the previous Middle Kingdom is seen as important as the kingdom of Netherlands. E.i. not much relevant.

The North East Asia (NEA) integration modeled after the European Union is no longer a dream!

Under the guise of The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the first post WWII attempt to unify the Europeans was masterminded by Charles de Gaulle.
It was formally established in 1951 by 6 nations, Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
By 2018, 28 nations have joined the EU, with Ukraine and Turkey's memberships still pending...

Today, the first core for a future North East Asia Union is integrating the three NEA powerhouses under the East Asian Core Observatories Association (EACOA): China, Korea and Japan.

On Sep. 21, 2005, during a ceremony at NAOJ mitaka campus in Japan, a memorandum of understanding for the East Asian Core Observatories Association (EACOA) was signed by the Head vice Director of National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), Dr. Zhao Gang, the President of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), Dr. Seok Jae Park, the Director of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA), Dr. Paul Ho, and the Director General of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), Dr. Norio Kaifu in the presence of lots of guests from the East Asian countries.

I highly doubt he is Vietnamese. More like a Chinese clown.

He embraces racism, never misses an opportunity to create distrust between Vietnamese in the North and the in the South, between the Vietnamese inland and those in overseas.

He hates everything liberal, everything from the West. But he finds everything from China is Ok. Including their arrogance and aggression.
 
Forget about the eternal litany of "China is stealing someone else's high technology". Now the next North East Asian technological powerhouse, namely the rising Indochinese Tiger is allegedly been caught red handed for the first time, trying to acquire sensitive military technology from a superpower!:lol:

The source stated that nuclear propulsion for hypersonic missile had been stolen in 2013 by the N.A.T.O.
It is unclear what space technology Indochina might have obtained.

Indochina's Space Ambition Revealed

Second Russian Scientist Charged With Treason in July

July 30 2018 - 11:07

A second Russian scientist has reportedly been charged with sharing state secrets with another country this month, a week after the high-profile detention of a space researcher on treason charges.

Last week, Viktor Kudryavtsev, a scientist at one of Russia’s leading space research labs, was charged with state treason for a suspected leak of hypersonic missile technology to a NATO country in 2013.

A member of the Public Monitoring Committee (PMC) prison watchdog said last Friday that a second scientist was found to have been detained on treason charges in July, despite prison wards having previously assured observers that only one scientist was being held.

Alexei Temiryov, 64, was detained on July 18 and placed under arrest for allegedly leaking secret documentation to Vietnam, his lawyer, Anna Polozova, was quoted as saying by the RBC news website Sunday.

His lawyer said that the information her client is accused of leaking was not classified.

“All of it is in the public record, it’s in every textbook in every library,” she told RBC.

Is it based on the XM-177s captured from Allied Forces in the Vietnam War and then modernized? I was under the initial impression that Z111 makes them.

Vietnam carrier stuns rivals in Myanmar with half-price blitz

Mytel captures 4% market share in two months since debut

YUICHI NITTA, Nikkei staff writer September 04, 2018 12:01 JST
https%3A%2F%2Fs3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com%2Fpsh-ex-ftnikkei-3937bb4%2Fimages%2F4%2F3%2F4%2F5%2F15495434-1-eng-GB%2F20180831N%20Mytel%20outlet_Data.jpg
A Mytel showroom in central Yangon draws visitors.
YANGON -- Myanmar's mobile phone market has seen a rapid shift in market share with the arrival of newcomer Mytel, which has offered cutthroat discounts that have won the hearts of the nation's users.

Supported by its powerful Vietnamese parent Viettel Group, the new entry has managed to capture 4% of the market after only two months in operation.

"I keep hearing the commercials, so I decided to try them out," a 30-year old man said at a Mytel showroom in Yangon. The provider, first established in 2016, finally launched mobile services nationwide in June. Signs and posters featuring its orange and white logo have festooned Yangon's cityscape since that date.

The biggest draw for Mytel, also known as Telecom International Myanmar, is its dirt-cheap rates. A 30-day, 5-gigabyte data plan sells for 3,500 kyat ($2.31), which is less than half the rate set by Myanmar's biggest carrier, the state-run Myanma Posts and Telecommunications.

Myanmar's mobile customers chiefly purchase prepaid plans, and people are free to switch SIM cards at will. Many users hold SIM cards for multiple carriers that are chosen depending on the situation.

At the end of June, the three biggest carriers in Myanmar catered to 53 million total customers. Mytel's price-cutting strategy drew 2.4 million users by the middle of August, translating to a market share topping 4%.

Back in Vietnam, it took Viettel a full year to attract 2 million customers. The telecom owns 49% of Mytel, while the remainder is split between two other Myanmar shareholders.

https%3A%2F%2Fs3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com%2Fpsh-ex-ftnikkei-3937bb4%2Fimages%2F_aliases%2Farticleimage%2F5%2F3%2F6%2F8%2F15498635-1-eng-GB%2FViettel_has_been_rushing_into_new_markets_and_its_sales_have_been_growing-column_chart-ft-nar-themelarge-580x440.png

Myanmar is Viettel's 10th foreign market since launching operations in Cambodia in 2009. Its overseas footprint extends all the way to Mozambique and Haiti.

Viettel has since built up a commanding 46% market share in Cambodia, as well as a 50% slice in East Timor. Offshore operations generated 19 trillion dong ($815 million) last year, more than quadruple the figure in 2010.

But the telecom established its business most rapidly in Myanmar, where the cellphone saturation rate has jumped from 32.9% in 2014 to 81.5% last year. MPT used to hold a domestic monopoly, but the transition from military rule to a civilian government ushered in Norway's Telenor and Qatar's Ooredoo, which both launched services in 2014. That same year, MPT forged a joint tie-up with Japanese mobile carrier KDDI and Tokyo-based trading house Sumitomo Corp.

Myanmar's three major rivals have been on edge over Mytel's encroachment. They issued a joint statement in February agreeing to "abide by sound price competition practices" -- a thinly-veiled rebuke against Mytel's discounted price schedule.

Last year, the Myanmar government banned sales of loss-making mobile plans and the free distribution of SIM cards in a bid to curb excessive competition. But because Mytel is a new player, it won an exemption for its discounts.

However, "the rates are expected to be hiked to the same level as other companies eventually," said an industrial insider, with the exemptions likely expiring by early September.

Even so, Mytel will end up accepting 4 million to 5 million contracts by the end of the year, according to Zaw Min Oo, the company's chief public relations officer. The company is offering plans bundled with low-end devices manufactured in Vietnam, and is flooding the television airwaves with commercials.

Mytel is able to afford the low-price strategy because of the backing of Viettel, a state enterprise directly controlled by Vietnam's defense ministry. Viettel commands a 47% market share in Vietnam, far outstripping the 26% share of its closest rival MobiFone.

Viettel's profit margin approaches 20%, giving it the financial resources to weather loss-leading investments. The group's access to Vietnam's military-industrial complex yields contractors and professionals who minimize the costs of building and managing telecom equipment.

Although Mytel has endeavored to toe the regulatory boundaries with its aggressive discounting, one sales campaign apparently crossed the line. Around June, authorities ordered the carrier to halt a lottery-type promotion that gives away free services through an app. Complaints from rivals initiated the corrective action.

Su35 is very expensive over $100m a piece. I think the VN will acquire the bird some time in the future but not yet. for instance the air defence still relies on Su22 fighter jets. for targets at sea, the Su22s carry Kh29 antiship missiles.
