About time these nations should stand up for acquiring resources on equal basis with China than giving it all away to China.

Sorry Chinese friends, this news isn't related to China. You should not be jumping up and down. Chinese shouldn't interfere in internal affairs of VN.
Vietnam control Spratly Islands long time, while China has never controlled the islands.

dude, let's just remember one simple fact:

Hanoi is less than 300km away from our border, when necessary we can wipe it out without using air force/navy. Period.

btw: the number of our 4th generation fighters are actually more than your number of missiles.
