Vietnamese buying properties in Vietnam do not accept Dongs, but USD. Before they only accept gold.
Even the banks and property owners don't trust the Dong
yes, gold is actually the currency king in vietnam. it was the case in the past, and it is the case now and will be in the future. gold is the ultimate currency. it always keeps the promise.
....calm down, buddy. no one is gambling now.
you suggested an imaginary scenario that first china will unilaterally seize the islands and then the 'world' will sanction china because those islands like just what happened to Russia, i merely pointed out the difference. the question is how important those islands are for the strategic outlook of US global interests and how US will make moves accordingly.
it's a ruthless and cruel world that we all live in.
It is you who claims your actions enjoy impunity. Have you forgotten?
You deployed the oil rig to our water on Mai 2, resulting to month long confrontation of both patrol coast guards at sea, antichinese riot, rising antichinese sentiment, destabilizing vietnam, splitting the VCP members, not to mention bringing the countries to a verge of an armed confrontation.
before parliament, Shinzo Abe cited the China oil rig deployment to VN water as one of the reasons why Japan needs to change the constitution, warning the danger from China aggression. On July 1st, the Japanese Cabinet approved the decision.
On July 15th, the US Senat passed a resolution that “condemns the use of coercion, threats, or force by naval, maritime security, or fishing vessels and military or civilian aircraft in the South China Sea and the East China Sea to assert disputed maritime or territorial claims or alter the status quo.”
Do you want to push us into a corner? do you want to see Vietnam joining America/Japan alliance against China? have you considered what happens if a new VN government comes in place that acts more aggressive against you?
