HANOI, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Spokesperson of Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) on Monday said that a special envoy will visit China aimed at discussing measures to relieve tension between the two countries.

"The visit by the Vietnamese official to China is to discuss with Chinese leaders on measures to cool down the situation and prevent tensions between the two countries from happening again," said Le Hai Binh, spokesperson of Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

Binh made the remark while addressing reporter's inquiry over the purpose of the tour to China by Le Hong Anh.

Le Hong Anh, a Politburo member and standing secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, will visit China from Tuesday to Wednesday as the special envoy of Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee.

"The visit, made at the invitation of Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also aims to promote healthy, stable and long-term development of the bilateral relations between the two parties and two countries, which meets aspirations and interests of the two peoples," said Binh.

Le Hong Anh is sent as special envoy of VCP chief. I believe he is a man of pro China faction. Vietnam government confirms the visit.
An interesting aspect before this visit is at the same day Vietnam government issues an official regret about the riot incident, effecting several Chinese casualties and offers compensations.

Better for Vietnam to have a color revolution and split into two. No need to babysit the VCP.

waiting for that to happen is like waiting for the landing of martians on earth. if you haven´t noticed we don´t have domestic separatism and terrorism movements. neither internal nor external threat (ok, except from China).

.

we hate you as much as you hate us, so don't expect our mercy in the future. Your suffer will be very, very long.

 

[terranMarine]

Didn't Viet here say China is pushing Vietnam to America? What's with the reconciliation? All tough talk about destroying our rig, kicking Chinese business out of Vietnam.

First start a colour revolution, get rid of the Communist party, become a democracy according to US standard and Uncle Sam might send you more aid.

The Vietnamese side has implemented and will continue to carry out support policies and measures to assist the affected firms in overcoming difficulties and resuming normal operations, said the spokesperson.

There is no such thing as the "pro-China" faction in Vietnam.

Only the anti-China faction and the most anti-China faction.

They are not the same, the legitimacy of KMT is still based on chinese identity. Even if both are obstacles to reunification.

But their anti-CPC/pro-USA stance will not help them to view as the patriots in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Their anti-CPC/pro-USA stance is based on necessity of survival, if they are true chinese patriots they would have surrended when CPC proved their skill in leadership. It is their instincts of self-preservation, its only natural that patriotism would come second. At least KMT are trying to make excuses for delaying reunification. (Setting precondition of "democracy", knowing that another political transformation would disturb china for generations and nobody would care for reunification if it happens ) DPP is denying the existence and possibility all together

KMT is only pro-China by speech and by map, but from their actions, I don't see any pro-China sign.

They may be a little bit less anti-China than DPP, but it doesn't make a huge difference for us, they are still our enemies.

Exactly!
