Vietnam is incredibly pragmatic, trying to manage economic progress and also geo political challenges. Vietnamese are incredibly smart, resilient, pragmatic and plan ahead. The reality is China borders Vietnam so they need a careful balancing act to ensure economic growth whilst gaining allies in case China decides to invade. Lets not forget the last time China tired to invade Vietnam was in 1979 and that historically China invaded Vietnam many times.
Why Vietnam has a friendly attitude, Americans are always more welcoming than China, even though war wounds are still present in many places in Vietnam. Vietnam and China have clashed throughout thousands of years of history, through many dynasties, China has always sought to annex and colonize Vietnam many times, Vietnam understands too well the intentions and nature of China. The relationship between the two only really improved in the middle years of the twentieth century, when both had the influence of the Soviet Union and both followed the socialist regime. Unexpectedly, after a resounding victory over France, Vietnam was shaken by China with France, forcing them to sign the Geneva treaty that divided the country into two North and South regions. Next was Vietnam's war to reunify the country, and once again China quietly shook hands with the US in the early 1970s, when the war was hotter than ever, while Vietnam was focusing all of its efforts on reunification. In 1974, China quietly sent troops to occupy many islands in the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos of Vietnam. China is also a supporter behind Polpot, pulling the strings of Polpot to massacre civilians along the southwestern border of Vietnam, under the call and support of the Cambodian free government now. Vietnam waged an all-out war against Polpot, which led to China rushing to launch a border war in 1979 to split Vietnamese forces but was quickly defeated. After the war, Vietnam did its best to overcome the consequences of the war and build the country, they proposed a less tense relationship with China, but China always has silent acts of economic destruction and environment in Vietnam. As many Chinese traders flooded into Vietnam, using many deceptive tricks to destroy the ecosystem and agriculture, forcing Vietnam to strictly manage the border and spread knowledge so that people do not fall into the trap. After that, China blatantly defied international law, set up its own bull's-dash line, even brought the HD981 rig into Vietnam's territorial waters in 2014. And now the East Sea is still a hot area of territorial disputes in the region. At this point, everyone can understand why Vietnam is more welcoming to the US than China, simply because Americans cooperate with Vietnam with respect for each other's interests. Vietnamese people always give respect and friendliness to those who respect them. Completely different from China, when it has to be always tense to watch out for the plots behind, and never know when it will be sold out and stabbed in the back by China, this has been shown too clearly throughout history.
USA 🇺🇲 still haven't apologized to Vietnam 🇻🇳 for their War Crimes. There are still newborns with horrific deformities. Children born without eyes, ears, limbs, anuses. etc.. Crimes against humanity is what 🇺🇲 did to these 🇻🇳 people. Heartbreaking 💔🥺

Please keep in mind: There wouldn´t be NORTH or SOUTH Vietnam! The superpowers US-CN-USSR-FR used their power and divided Vietnam into 2 countries, they just refused an independent VIETNAM!
It was a bargain of benefits between China and USA on the Geneva Agreement 1954, Vietnam divided into 2 parts, 2 Vietnam-friendly allies, Communist Laos and Communist Cambodia lost their previous occupied position during the First Indochina War.

The split between the North and South lasted 21 years whereas that whole region changed constantly over the millennia…different names, different territories and so forth.
My Lai massacre, Agent Orange, unpaid War Compensation (3-5 billions), tons of unexploded bombs still underground, 20-year war then 20-year sanctions, intension to use nukes during the Vietnamwar (the only reason they didn't proceed was because of possible reaction from China/Russia, not because of Vietnamese lives), Vietnamization of the war (aka. use Vietnamese to eliminate Vietnamese, thus, dividing the people even further). Just to name a few... (from the perspective of Vietnamese people)
It's funny you mention China and Russia. Do you think that they have always been best of friends and (regardless of what you think of their ongoing initiatives) haven't had to overlook or overcome significant issues between each other from the past? Anyone who cares about international relations knows that there is a backdrop of certain unfortunate realities of certain relationships that shouldn't be ignored or obfuscated, but also shouldn't be all-encompassing to where they prevent a change of course or improvement. If America and Vietnam can become closer and collaborate where their respective national security interest(s) overlap, then that is a good thing and if you're against the latter then I don't know how you can square Sino-Russsian relations or any country that in times past had issues with another but is now charting a different path...
@@nesttea2239 It's not because Vietnamese are not aggressive, but because the US has the plan to collaborate with Vietnamese to rob natural resources in SCS
@@nesttea2239 Because Vietnam is not an economic threat to US hegemony. It's not actively trying to challenge the dollar. The same reason why countries like Saudi and UAE don't get smeared by mainstream media. The US government would like to take out any country that tries to challenge or overtake the US's number one spot in business. That happened to Gaddafi when he tried to sell oil in pan-African gold dinars. And that happened with Saddam Hussein when he tried selling oil in Euros instead of dollars.
Would it be too much to ask to get someone who lives in Vietnam to give their perspective? How would Qataris feel if every time CNN covered a story involving Qatar they interviewed a white guy living in Egypt and a white lady from Canada?
Biggest straw man argument ever. Just because the US has problems of its own doesn’t justify Vietnam’s garbage human rights record. Do not dig your head in the sand; you cannot ignore UN human rights reports, Amnesty International reports, or 88 Project database. The violations are very real and very much in need of correction

They really do.
It’s quite simple. As long as China insists on claiming the entire South China Sea as its own pond and getting more aggressive in enforcing its claim, Vietnam has no choice but to get closer to the US. The US already has 9 bases in the Philippines. With a few more more bases in Vietnam, it can completely bottle any Chinese fleet from sailing out of China.

The reason that there was no US's flag at the meeting of Viet Nam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and US's Secretary of State Anthony Blinkens was that Blinkens was invited to visit Viet Nam by Viet Nam's Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son. Internationally diplomatic speaking, the high-ranked officer of a country usually invites the same high-ranked office of another country to formally visit his country and he himself will be the country's host to greet, hold formal meeting, and sign some specific agreements (if any) with the guest of the other country who has the same rank with him. That was why when Anthony Blinkens came to visit unofficially the Viet Nam's Prime Minister, there was no US's flag at this informal meeting.
Policy makers want Vietnam to remain neutral regardless. Vietnam have high percentage of younger generation born after the war and they look towards the west but also patriotic at the same time. China expansion in South China and East sea is a concern not just for Vietnam but the whole Asia!
And US loves to divide and conquer. wherever they find problems, they go and amplify. Funny how you call them policy makers, they should make their policies in their country. No one goes to their place and try to make policies for them. Also why aren't they calling Vietnamese government communist, even though they are? Why do we only hear about communist China. I hope East Asian countries don't fall for these warmongers. They will destroy the region like they did to the middle east. Thank goodness the middle east is trying for peace now.
China and Russia has just about brought every country together through their invasions and threats of invasions..even ones with bad history with one another lol.
I'm an American ex-pat who has lived and worked in Vietnam for the past 4 years. If there are human rights violations going on here I haven't seen or heard about it. I talk to a lot of people, including my Vietnamese family members, and no one seems to know of any human rights violations (other than the extensive human trafficking crimes committed by China). It really seems the issue of human rights violations committed by the Vietnemese government is being exagerated by western media.
Another troll pitting Vietnam and the great peoples of the People's Republic of China against one another...the oft-used anglo-saxon strategem of "divide and rule" these evil foreigners have no interests at all of the well being of either the Vietnamese nor the great peoples of the People's Republic of China but only for their own interests, so people be careful of these brainwashers, trolls or bots about their true intentions...MAKE AMERICA THE PARIAH OF THE WORLD 🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥
When you defend your own country, you also charge your neighboring country with an unwarranted crime. What is the difference between you and those human rights organizations. Human trafficking in Vietnam is also trafficked by you Vietnamese yourself. Now China has set up isolation nets on the border.
@Chris Hamlin nonsense on the Chinese human trafficking. I’m a retired American lived and worked in Vietnam over 10yrs. But it seems you just feel a deceitful need to smear China with your prejudice. Between the U.S. and China the one that’s done more human rights violations is the U.S. in its Vietnam war that lasted over 10 years with the use of chemical weapons, agent orange and other chemicals (100s of thousands of tons), napalm burning men women and children alive (100s of thousands of tons used), the 100s of thousands of land mines still here still maiming and killing innocent farmers including children, over all over 2.2 million murdered Vietnamese. Yet the average Vietnamese loves the U.S. and dislikes China (who helped Vietnam fight the French and kick them out costing the China over 100 thousand soldiers, gave free weapons and ammo to fight the U.S. for 10 yrs until the Russians came in at the end. Vietnam should be cautious of getting in bed with the US as the only interest the US has is once again using Vietnam as their military base against China

Việt Á Scandal rocked Vietnam. As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30K of them, due to misdiagnosis and being and cramped into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolations, so that they had to sleep on the concrete floors, with inadequate food, water, or medicine, like animals, with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Koea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

Actually, forming an alliance with Vietnam shows how wise America has become. The American government has finally realized what Ho Chi Minh saw 80 years ago.

If Vietnam slip up its neutrality position with the U.S. it would lose its natural security barrier with the country of Laos and Cambodia where China is positioning itself very strong and solid. Vietnam's action and decision is very critical at a micro-level and it will only take one tiny slip-up that will alter Vietnam's relationship with its immediate neighbors.
Vietnam understands this well, so it has not taken a pro-US move like the Philippines. The current situation will not allow China to take destabilizing actions in Southeast Asia when the Americans have identified China as the next Russia and Taiwan is the biggest concern of the Chinese.

As a Vietnamese, I think we don't want to ally with one country against another. We know all too well what war is. But based on the geopolitical chessboard, the future interests of the Vietnamese nation, past relationships and the strong rise of neighbor China. Perhaps in salary, Vietnamese people will lean more towards Rus - CN.
The warming relationship between the US and Vietnam is a good example of how wasteful and meaningless wars are. Millions of Vietnamese and thousands of American soldiers died in this 20 years war premised on the US Foreign Policy Doctrine of Domino Theory and the fight against the spread of Communism. Paradoxically, Vietnam is still a Communist country today. I have to give credit to Secretary Blinken for working so hard travelling around the world to win support against China. So far I don't see much success in the US effort. Not because all those countries are against the US. It is more likely because it is the wrong strategy and lack of diplomatic skill. Everywhere American and European leaders go, they carry a big stick and lectures others about human rights and how they should behave...This strategy will only work if the US is the sole super-power and there is no alternative? Today with the resurrection of Russia and rising China, there is now an alternative? No doubt Vietnam has some issues with China but its close ally is not China but Russia. During the Vietnam war, without Russian military support, there was no way it could had won and re-united South Vietnam. Just like the Indian, the Vietnamese are grateful to Russia and it is extremely difficult for the US to win it over against China and Russia....

Furthermore, the brutality of the Vietnam War were there for all to see in videos and written records so there is no dispute as to its authenticity. Chemical weapons like napalm and Agent Orange were used too in addition to the still unexploded mines the US dropped into LAOS, a neighbor of Vietnam. Up till today there are still farmers in those region who died or are maimed by unexploded mines. No compensation. No apology for the atrocities committed.....Pretend the Vietnam War never happened?

The Vietnamese are doing astonishingly well in its relationship with the US. As investors leave difficult China for Vietnam, the Vietnamese-US relationship becomes increasingly important.

So much criticism for Vietnam, if you were to walk around in a city it might remind you of 70's Japan, not necessarily a repressive country. Not black and white, lots of gray, lots of choices for Vietnam, China and the US to make that will decide the future.
Russia's government since 2002 has been generously forgiving multi-billion dollar debts of Viet Nam, North Korea, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Lybia, Cuba, Iraq, Venezuela, and many African countries. Same thing happened with China's government, too.
The problem with Russia for Vietnam is that 90% of Vietnam's weapons are from Russia, and with the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russia will obviously prioritize stuffs like ammunition and spare parts for their own military. As a result, Vietnam is currently facing serious problems with the supply chain of spare parts and ammunition for their high tech weapons (S-300, Su-30, the submarines). If this keeps going and China suddenly invades, Vietnam has no weapon and ammunition to fight. As a result, Vietnam has to diversify their partnerships, and countries like South Korea, Israel, India and the US are obviously good partners that can supply them with weapons to deter Chinese aggression.
Any "debt" Vietnam owed to China was null and void the moment PLA invaded Vietnam in 1979 and razed all the towns and villages they managed to capture. Not to mention the islands they invaded in 1974 and 1988. The war reparations China owes Vietnam for 1979 far outweighs any debt Vietnam owed in the 1960s.
Hanoi is most polluted city in Southeast Asia, and that's one of the reasons Covid-19 have been killing way more Vietnamese than citizens of neighboring countries, as persistent pollution severely damage lungs and make them vulnerable to infections. The young, the old, and the handicaps are permanent 5th class citizens under Commie regime, as the disadvantaged members of the society are often taken advantages of by others with no safety net nor societal protection whatsoever (fairly common sights are tattered pre-teeny kids and old men and women in their 60's, 70's begging or selling lottery tickets on the streets), and almost everyone 95% of population get abuses by the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime as their lands can be robbed by it anytime. Even during the pandemic when most countries provided aids to their citizens, the ruling Vietnamese Commies not only didn't provide aids (only about 1% received them and those were usually the members of privileged Commie ruling class or their own associates. Yes, they took citizens' tax money to selectively give it to themselves) coordinated with each other to exploit the citizens even more with their dangerous nostril test kits (made by their shell company Việt á) that they falsely claimed of having been approved by World Health Organization (WHO). The result was deadly, as tens of thousands of people died needlessly. Yes, these ruling Vietnamese Commie lowlifes saw the pandemic as another great opportunity not to help but to make money out of the already indigent Vietnamese citizens most of whom could barely survive after being steered like animals by the brutal Vietnamese Commie military police into barbwired, unhygienic quarantined areas sleeping on the floors with inadequate food, water, toilet, beds, and medicine. All true. Do your research. Caveat emptor! Search for patients lying on concrete floors in hospital corridors and even under beds from Google Images. Torrential floods essentially all over the country half of the year, while HCM is a sinking city.

I honestly believe that unlike China who always sees the US as an enemy, VN will change the more the US presence/engagement. It's been changing quite a bit compared to when I was growing up there. Look. Human rights issues will be there for a long time, as they did in Taiwan, South Korea, ... They still do in many ASEAN countries (Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, all allies). But all must agree that they have been far different from what they used to be. In terms of freedom, the Vietnamese can boast with the Chinese. They don't have that firewall, and they don't follow you every minute of the day (unless you've done something against them). You can never change China as long as the CCP holds power.

"join" team then. Hello china! US would be really really really extremely stupid to try that again with VN. They would just lose any strategic gain in past 30s on SEA.
Vietnam's position is always consistent 1. Don't follow one country to resist another 2. Do not make military allies 3. Do not allow the army of another country to be stationed Vietnam chooses justice, not allies
🇻🇳🇻🇳 Very few can understand the true significance of PEACE and FREEDOM as deeply as the Vietnamese people do. Throughout history, they have fought for their FREEDOM against the Chinese for over a thousand years, and against the French and Americans for more than a hundred years. However, while these battles are now part of the past, the Vietnamese still strive to maintain PEACE and FREEDOM for their citizens. Balancing relations between the United States and China is no simple task, but the Vietnamese are confident in their ability to do so, particularly given the CCP's negative intentions regarding expansion and conquest.🇻🇳🇺🇸
US is desperately looking for THE UKRAINE OF ASIA. Candidates so far are : 1. Philippines. 2. Taiwan. 3. Japan. 4. South Korea. 5. India. 6. Australia. But so far none of these candidates shows real commitment to being fully-used by US, even Japan which is practically a colony of US, does not want to fully commit as US' cannon fodder.
ASEAN today: no Asian security partner wants to choose between America and China. The ASEAN cannot be repurposed to form a coalition to counter China. Thus, no claimant against China in the South China Sea is prepared to join the US in its naval fracas with China.
What is happening to all the " democratic " countries. India should be one big lesson. Already democratic for a long time but also the most corrupt Compare Vietnam to the Philippines: technically, Vietnam is still a communist country while the Philippines is an American-style democracy. Which country is taking off like a rocket? war-torn Vietnam vs an American-funded Philippines. which is more corrupted?
Focusing on Vietnam is smart of the US because as we all know Americans like to use another group or country to fight a war for us. 😂 just arm them and sit back
Vietnam's Mekong river in the South & Red river in the North ==> Both rivers start from China and empty into the South China Sea via Vietnam Land of Two Rice Baskets : ...(the Red River Delta) and another large area on the south end (the Mekong River Delta) Because of Laos, Thailand & Cambodia / China will not choke off the Mekong and aggravate a drought in the "rice basket " in the South of VN. In northern Vietnam, Honghe River flows from Yunnan Province in China thru Red River ( Hong Ha ) Delta to the sea. The US must make sure there is "PEACE" in the region
Notice the economic growth in Vietnam has been successful with democracy, as is the case in UAE, S Arabia, Qatar, Morocco, Oman etc. Democracy cannot work in a very poor countries that has no middle class.
China has resources, including money, to offer its partners, whereas, the US budget is in chronic deficit and even routine government operations must now be funded with debt. It needs to find resources needed to keep its human and physical infrastructure at levels competitive with those of China and other great economic powers. ASEAN today: no Asian security partner wants to choose between America and China. The ASEAN cannot be repurposed to form a coalition to counter China. Thus, no claimant against China in the South China Sea is prepared to join the US in its naval fracas with China.
Millions of American homeless is the living proof of the successful American democracy, freedom & human rights. When you see many homeless in your country, congratulation, you have been successfully implementing American democracy model
Vietnam are very conscious of dealing with the Chinese can result in losing their money, a lot of money, but dealing with the US can result in losing their lives. Vietnam is trying to balance two very unstable and unreliable countries but neither China nor the US should get their hope up that Vietnam will fall for their bullshit promises. I lived and worked in VN for 10 years and grow to love the country and its people and its history. I want Vietnam to maintain its well deserved and hard fought independence. I also remember a very good statement from a Vietnamese official when it was opening up the country and receiving different foreign delegations on political and economic conferences - "Just because we Vietnamese like to hear your ideas doesn't mean we like being lectured to".
EVERYTHING we r doing lately is to “contain” our competitor & largest trading partner China We r not capable of win/win we only do zero sum & so Vietnam like India & Africa needs to b reminded we can crush them

China is a strategic partner of Vietnam, while the US is not and probably never. Our problem with China is much different from the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. While Ukraine wants to confirm their separate identity and tries to stay away from Russian cultural sphere to join more deeply into Western European one, absolute majority of Vietnamese love Chinese culture (even the anti-China media are using more Sino-Vietnamese words compared to 10 - 20 years ago, not less) as well as want to connect more deeply into Chinese supply chain, while maintaining our independence.
You are only 50% correct, not all Ukrainians want to stay away from Russian culture, may be just 30% mostly in the western Ukraine. The majority are neutral or pro-Russia before 2014, but after the coup, Ukrainian pro-western government came up with the anti-Russian policy, forcing people to abandon anything Russian. Same as Vietnam, its divided some pro-China, some anti- China )thank to the fake media. Most people in the north(especially border provinces)and governments workers are pro-Chinese, while the south seem to be pro-American anti-China.
Americans, don't think you are so special that you are well greeted in Vietnam. If you look around, anyone is welcomed that way, especially rich ones, EXCEPT Chinese. If you want to understand why, put yourselves in theirs shoes. There are several reasons: 1. At macro level, Vietnam is still a poor country that depends a lot on export. So Vietnamese government very much likes to deepen trade ties and maintain a good relation with their exporters, especially the US. Vietnam has a huge problem with China: that is it imports too much from China and they are trying hard to reduce it. 2. On a day-to-day life of ordinary people level, Vietnamese people are still very poor, most of them. And what poor people like ? Of course rich tourists who are willing to spend. Western visitors spend much more than Chinese and (I HATE to say this) it is easier to charge Westerners more than Chinese. We understand Chinese well and so do they understand us. 3. Vietnamese in general hate Chinese because of their long history of invasion of Vietnam. Take a high school history book in Vietnam and you'll see yourself how much of it is about Chinese invasion of Vietnam. No wonder why most Vietnamese hate China, Chinese people and Chinese products. (We love Chinese products, but only small items because they are so cheap. But for big items like cars, no way, only Japanese or Korean or EU or US cars. Why? we don't trust Chinese. 4. Vietnam is constantly under pressure from China. They take our sea, our islands, our oil... SO if the US or anyone else could help Vietnam stand up to China, they are welcomed. But the main point is, Vietnam does not want to get into any conflict for whatever reason. They want to have peace to improve their economy and will take advantage of any chance. The biggest giant problem for Vietnam is not from outside, it is inside. It is CORRUPTION. You must be Chinese or Vietnamese to understand how giant of the problem it is. PS: I have no issue with Chinese people. I have a lot of Chinese friends and I like most of them.
You over rate the cheap broke low rent American and Euro economic refugees visiting Vietnam. Chinese spend 3-5 times more than westerners. Vietnam should be rejecting the West and everything it stands for and turning to their big brother China.
17-3-2023 W+S=J Manufacturers Move Back to China as Renewal of U.S. Trade Deal Is Delayed Some businesses that shifted production to Southeast Asia are going back as tariffs cut into their margins.

With Phillipines, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and eventually Vietnam in US fold, US believe it had surrounding China. Very short sighted policy, eventually will backfired. There is minimum anti-US sentiment because of lack of anti-US propaganda, but stronger anti-China sentiment especially in north Vietnam due to historical reasons and SEA.
Lack of anti-US propaganda you say? Okay, why do we even need to have anti-US propaganda in our country? You tell me why??? Because of the war??? The war has passed away for almost 50 years now! Many of my uncles who are veterans of the NVA during the war support a closer relation with US, while balancing ties with China. And yup, stronger anti-China sentiment since once every 5 year the Chinese send ships to our territorial water. Whenever China has internal issues (Xinjiang, Tibet, Hongkong, Covid lockdown, etc.), they will start messing around at our territorial water to distract their citizens from internal issues in the country.
We had been reunified since 1976 already and anti-Chinese sentiment just spreads naturally, the government doesn’t spread propaganda against big powers (Russia, China and US)

Vietnam and the Vietnamese people always remember it all, we went through thousands of years of war. Leaving behind the past, looking to the future, we are still ready to go to war if necessary
How come Mr. D. Kurt's voices are kinda mumbled, not very loud and clear as Mr. Blinking .. It sounded like he was kinda hesitant to tell the truth, or perhaps someone pointed a 🔫 at him behind the scene's?😆😄?
Vietnam is incredibly pragmatic, trying to manage economic progress and also geo political challenges. Vietnamese are incredibly smart, resilient, pragmatic and plan ahead. The reality is China borders Vietnam so they need a careful balancing act to ensure economic growth whilst gaining allies in case China decides to invade. Lets not forget the last time China tired to invade Vietnam was in 1979 and that historically China invaded Vietnam many times.
Much love to Vietnam 🇻🇳 from the USA🇺🇲. The 21st century will be brighter for both nations if we continue to build on the already established bond.
Why Vietnam has a friendly attitude, Americans are always more welcoming than China, even though war wounds are still present in many places in Vietnam.
Vietnam and China have clashed throughout thousands of years of history, through many dynasties, China has always sought to annex and colonize Vietnam many times, Vietnam understands too well the intentions and nature of China. The relationship between the two only really improved in the middle years of the twentieth century, when both had the influence of the Soviet Union and both followed the socialist regime. Unexpectedly, after a resounding victory over France, Vietnam was shaken by China with France, forcing them to sign the Geneva treaty that divided the country into two North and South regions. Next was Vietnam's war to reunify the country, and once again China quietly shook hands with the US in the early 1970s, when the war was hotter than ever, while Vietnam was focusing all of its efforts on reunification. In 1974, China quietly sent troops to occupy many islands in the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos of Vietnam. China is also a supporter behind Polpot, pulling the strings of Polpot to massacre civilians along the southwestern border of Vietnam, under the call and support of the Cambodian free government now. Vietnam waged an all-out war against Polpot, which led to China rushing to launch a border war in 1979 to split Vietnamese forces but was quickly defeated.
After the war, Vietnam did its best to overcome the consequences of the war and build the country, they proposed a less tense relationship with China, but China always has silent acts of economic destruction and environment in Vietnam. As many Chinese traders flooded into Vietnam, using many deceptive tricks to destroy the ecosystem and agriculture, forcing Vietnam to strictly manage the border and spread knowledge so that people do not fall into the trap. After that, China blatantly defied international law, set up its own bull's-dash line, even brought the HD981 rig into Vietnam's territorial waters in 2014. And now the East Sea is still a hot area of territorial disputes in the region.
At this point, everyone can understand why Vietnam is more welcoming to the US than China, simply because Americans cooperate with Vietnam with respect for each other's interests. Vietnamese people always give respect and friendliness to those who respect them. Completely different from China, when it has to be always tense to watch out for the plots behind, and never know when it will be sold out and stabbed in the back by China, this has been shown too clearly throughout history.

The split between the North and South lasted 21 years whereas that whole region changed constantly over the millennia…different names, different territories and so forth.
My Lai massacre, Agent Orange, unpaid War Compensation (3-5 billions), tons of unexploded bombs still underground, 20-year war then 20-year sanctions, intension to use nukes during the Vietnamwar (the only reason they didn't proceed was because of possible reaction from China/Russia, not because of Vietnamese lives), Vietnamization of the war (aka. use Vietnamese to eliminate Vietnamese, thus, dividing the people even further). Just to name a few... (from the perspective of Vietnamese people)
It's funny you mention China and Russia. Do you think that they have always been best of friends and (regardless of what you think of their ongoing initiatives) haven't had to overlook or overcome significant issues between each other from the past? Anyone who cares about international relations knows that there is a backdrop of certain unfortunate realities of certain relationships that shouldn't be ignored or obfuscated, but also shouldn't be all-encompassing to where they prevent a change of course or improvement. If America and Vietnam can become closer and collaborate where their respective national security interest(s) overlap, then that is a good thing and if you're against the latter then I don't know how you can square Sino-Russsian relations or any country that in times past had issues with another but is now charting a different path...

The reason that there was no US's flag at the meeting of Viet Nam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and US's Secretary of State Anthony Blinkens was that Blinkens was invited to visit Viet Nam by Viet Nam's Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son. Internationally diplomatic speaking, the high-ranked officer of a country usually invites the same high-ranked office of another country to formally visit his country and he himself will be the country's host to greet, hold formal meeting, and sign some specific agreements (if any) with the guest of the other country who has the same rank with him. That was why when Anthony Blinkens came to visit unofficially the Viet Nam's Prime Minister, there was no US's flag at this informal meeting.

So China has again plans to invade Vietnam?
Not Russia?
The American the French and especially the Chinese know that a land war in Vietnam will break their neck . That is why both the US and the Chinese are offering coercion and reservation. Vietnam however will remain neutral , as in big powers need to fight war themselves, on their own.
Vietnam has fought 1100 years of wars with China, the last war was in 1979 and lasted until 1990. So the enemy of my enemy is my friends. If you China want peace between us, get out of our islands where you still illegal occupying from us.
Ukraine war was an unprepared war while Vietnam is already prepared ( they got 5+ million reserves troops on it ) however they might face 2 front war again
In my experience of living in Vietnam, most Vietnamese have a deep mistrust of China.
Yeah but is the USA who has invaded and dropped napalm on them. I want to belive they are not stupid.

you're right but that's okay. I'm Vietnamese and I think they're right about us.
The Russian is a close friend who has always helped us in the past and now he is doing his job.
The Chinese are also a friend who has always sought to bring down the Vietnamese throughout history, but fate caught us. We couldn't leave, so we had to find a way to live together. The Americans are the ones who have beaten and killed us in the past and are trying to apologize and mend the relationship. To Americans we always say we forgive but never forget what they did

Việt Á Scandal rocked Vietnam. As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30K of them, due to misdiagnosis and being and cramped into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolations, so that they had to sleep on the concrete floors, with inadequate food, water, or medicine, like animals, with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Koea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
@@hmsvlogs4518 Why ask the Chinese?

If Vietnam slip up its neutrality position with the U.S. it would lose its natural security barrier with the country of Laos and Cambodia where China is positioning itself very strong and solid. Vietnam's action and decision is very critical at a micro-level and it will only take one tiny slip-up that will alter Vietnam's relationship with its immediate neighbors.
Oh no, China wants to invade Vietnam again just like its imperialists ancestors.
Cambodia has left Vietnam, but Laos never. So we don't worry about that!
Laos is Vietnam's brother
Vietnamese boys love Lao girls and vice versa!!!! Cambodia 🤢🤮
Vietnam understands this well, so it has not taken a pro-US move like the Philippines. The current situation will not allow China to take destabilizing actions in Southeast Asia when the Americans have identified China as the next Russia and Taiwan is the biggest concern of the Chinese.

US spending 2billion to build it's own embassy in Vietnam. China will use that same amount to build trains station or something similar.
As recent as 2018 Hanoi was demanding compensation from US manufacturers of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange, as a last resort to help families still suffering traumatic birth defects almost 50 years after the end of the Vietnam war.
Courts have found that wartime contractors that produced Agent Orange for the U.S. government are “not responsible for damage claims associated with the chemistry,” the Monsanto website says.

frankly speaking ,Vietnam has better relationship with Russia,Right now Russia has the war with Ukraine ,EU and US has been containing Russia by NATO.Vietnam military system is mainly from Russia,Russia is standing with China now ,Vietnam could not choose this time to cooperate with US to contain China.Frankly a lot of orders has moved to Vietnam and Indonesia but I must tell you one truth ,Vietnam also buy a lot of machines to produce what US is needing!Frankly it is not a bad thing to China,we must experience this transformation sooner or later!
What transformation?
As a Vietnamese, I think we don't want to ally with one country against another. We know all too well what war is.
But based on the geopolitical chessboard, the future interests of the Vietnamese nation, past relationships and the strong rise of neighbor China. Perhaps in salary, Vietnamese people will lean more towards Rus - CN.
The fact that 5 billion dollar of war reparation that US promise never come to Viet Nam. that alone make Viet Nam economy slowdown by decades.
The warming relationship between the US and Vietnam is a good example of how wasteful and meaningless wars are. Millions of Vietnamese and thousands of American soldiers died in this 20 years war premised on the US Foreign Policy Doctrine of Domino Theory and the fight against the spread of Communism. Paradoxically, Vietnam is still a Communist country today.
I have to give credit to Secretary Blinken for working so hard travelling around the world to win support against China. So far I don't see much success in the US effort. Not because all those countries are against the US. It is more likely because it is the wrong strategy and lack of diplomatic skill. Everywhere American and European leaders go, they carry a big stick and lectures others about human rights and how they should behave...This strategy will only work if the US is the sole super-power and there is no alternative? Today with the resurrection of Russia and rising China, there is now an alternative? No doubt Vietnam has some issues with China but its close ally is not China but Russia. During the Vietnam war, without Russian military support, there was no way it could had won and re-united South Vietnam. Just like the Indian, the Vietnamese are grateful to Russia and it is extremely difficult for the US to win it over against China and Russia....
You forget Osaka, don't you know Vietnam said that war America was nothing they fought a 200 year war with China. Vietnam is one few countries were it is very easy for China to walk into. Vietnam is trying to get more trade and weapons from the United States to fight Chinese aggression.
@@Madame702 I am not a historian so I don't know about this 200 years war you are talking about...Vietnam is China's neighbor so historically it was very normal that territories changed hands as empires rose and felled. But America and France were foreign imperialist powers thousands of km away. A total foreign race and culture out to plunder and colonize weaker nations. Furthermore, the brutality of the Vietnam War were there for all to see in videos and written records so there is no dispute as to its authenticity. Chemical weapons like napalm and Agent Orange were used too in addition to the still unexploded mines the US dropped into LAOS, a neighbor of Vietnam. Up till today there are still farmers in those region who died or are maimed by unexploded mines. No compensation. No apology for the atrocities committed.....Pretend the Vietnam War never happened?
Vietnam has fought 1100 years of wars with China, the last war was in 1979 and lasted until 1990. So the enemy of my enemy is my friends. If you China want peace between us, get out of our islands where you still illegal occupying from us.
@@eymeeraosaka2954 The USA never tried to occupy Vietnam. They why trying to support South Vietnamese to push back the Chinese backed North Vietnamese. Then after the war, the Chinese stabbed their back and tried to take over Vietnam. Similar to how the CCP got in power in the first place in their civil war...always trying to attack when the enemy is weakened.
what are you talkin' 'bout, Willis? Stay on Weibo!
China should build a big embassy in Venezuela. And make sure Gulf of Mexico is open. 😊
For greater purpose former adversaries can become best of friends...
america does not have friends only puppets.
The Vietnamese are doing astonishingly well in its relationship with the US. As investors leave difficult China for Vietnam, the Vietnamese-US relationship becomes increasingly important. I am happy for the Vietnamese as so many suffered through wars. The Vietnamese economy is set to grow at 7.5% for 2023. That's better than all of the Western economies. Maybe, Allah is watching out for the Vietnamese and helping them stabilize and grow. After all, almost no Vietnamese died during the Covid pandemic while people in China and the US were dropping like flies.
US always talking about rules of laws, democracy and freedom. Sounds beautiful, but who can come out dealing with the US and not become a handicap?
Just remember it was China that invaded Vietnam's territorial waters. You talk about violating rules, Xi Jinping reckless actions have forced Vietnam into alliance with America. Too bad you can't protest, but I fear if you did you leader would have you arrested and killed. You less "Civil Rights" then "Black Live Matters" in America.
Whatever you said, US is still much preferred country vs China, Russia and Brazil.
Those countries who keep shouting : “Death to America”, “America is the mother of all Evil”.... their citizen are lining up enter USA!
So much criticism for Vietnam, if you were to walk around in a city it might remind you of 70's Japan, not necessarily a repressive country. Not black and white, lots of gray, lots of choices for Vietnam, China and the US to make that will decide the future.
Russia's government since 2002 has been generously forgiving multi-billion dollar debts of Viet Nam, North Korea, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Lybia, Cuba, Iraq, Venezuela, and many African countries. Same thing happened with China's government, too.
I doubt about this
They don't give anything for free. Generosity? Give me a break!
The problem with Russia for Vietnam is that 90% of Vietnam's weapons are from Russia, and with the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russia will obviously prioritize stuffs like ammunition and spare parts for their own military. As a result, Vietnam is currently facing serious problems with the supply chain of spare parts and ammunition for their high tech weapons (S-300, Su-30, the submarines). If this keeps going and China suddenly invades, Vietnam has no weapon and ammunition to fight. As a result, Vietnam has to diversify their partnerships, and countries like South Korea, Israel, India and the US are obviously good partners that can supply them with weapons to deter Chinese aggression.
Yeah, I don't believe this either. Where is your source?
Any "debt" Vietnam owed to China was null and void the moment PLA invaded Vietnam in 1979 and razed all the towns and villages they managed to capture. Not to mention the islands they invaded in 1974 and 1988. The war reparations China owes Vietnam for 1979 far outweighs any debt Vietnam owed in the 1960s.
They are an counter to china's influence.they are an good country to have on your side they are amazing people.
Hanoi is most polluted city in Southeast Asia, and that's one of the reasons Covid-19 have been killing way more Vietnamese than citizens of neighboring countries, as persistent pollution severely damage lungs and make them vulnerable to infections. The young, the old, and the handicaps are permanent 5th class citizens under Commie regime, as the disadvantaged members of the society are often taken advantages of by others with no safety net nor societal protection whatsoever (fairly common sights are tattered pre-teeny kids and old men and women in their 60's, 70's begging or selling lottery tickets on the streets), and almost everyone 95% of population get abuses by the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime as their lands can be robbed by it anytime. Even during the pandemic when most countries provided aids to their citizens, the ruling Vietnamese Commies not only didn't provide aids (only about 1% received them and those were usually the members of privileged Commie ruling class or their own associates. Yes, they took citizens' tax money to selectively give it to themselves) coordinated with each other to exploit the citizens even more with their dangerous nostril test kits (made by their shell company Việt á) that they falsely claimed of having been approved by World Health Organization (WHO). The result was deadly, as tens of thousands of people died needlessly. Yes, these ruling Vietnamese Commie lowlifes saw the pandemic as another great opportunity not to help but to make money out of the already indigent Vietnamese citizens most of whom could barely survive after being steered like animals by the brutal Vietnamese Commie military police into barbwired, unhygienic quarantined areas sleeping on the floors with inadequate food, water, toilet, beds, and medicine. All true. Do your research. Caveat emptor! Search for patients lying on concrete floors in hospital corridors and even under beds from Google Images. Torrential floods essentially all over the country half of the year, while HCM is a sinking city.
Vietnamese Communist Party Chairman visited China in Feb and that was sincere. Blinkman think he has made the right communication but from the Viet, it is just card they play in the US China game. Vietnam is still communist and there is breakthrough as what the Blinkman thought so .....
Russia is weak and attacking a smaller country. I think deep down the Vietnamese understands they are in a similar situation being next to China. America is far away yet can offer Vietnam in this moment in history protections against the dragon next door that wants to steal it's ocean waters.
America makes the most sense to partner with. Vietnam has great relations with japan Korea and Taiwan all 3 of which have help tremendously vn in terms of fdi.
Those 3 countries are close allies to America. It just makes sense for Vietnam to build closer ties to America. Plus America has the largest Vietnamese diaspora of any foreign country.
Well hold on a minute...
IS China eyeing up Vietnam like that ?
They got Hong Kong back &They REALLY want Taiwan as well but are all the other Local Nations so threatened ???
I dunno, Doesn't seem like China WOULDN'T be fittin' to slam it's juggernuts down upon everyone else regardless...
US war with Vietnam was just a temporary strategic mistake and they only fought with us for 20 years that was a period of time and The time is too short compared to the 2000 years we fought with China and they know how to fight China ,because if there is a single country against China In contrast to China's expansion to the south of China in the South China Sea only Vietnam but no second country dares to confront China.
Vietnamese prefer chopsticks ! wAr-mericans would be more successful opening KFC's , McDonald's, Burger King's , etc. in China. Nothing can beat "Phở"

What is a bunch of Vietnamese slaves who speak about Vietnam, used to be like 1 dog fleeing to the United States, throwing away the sanctity of his wife and children, family and homeland to submit like 1 dog does not go up to the muzzle of Vietnam, 1 is too big for Vietnam, As a true Vietnamese, it is best for the United States not to touch Vietnam's interests to sow regional instability, there is no door to guide Vietnam's nose, only Vietnamese people to warn the Americans

I honestly believe that unlike China who always sees the US as an enemy, VN will change the more the US presence/engagement. It's been changing quite a bit compared to when I was growing up there. Look. Human rights issues will be there for a long time, as they did in Taiwan, South Korea, ... They still do in many ASEAN countries (Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, all allies). But all must agree that they have been far different from what they used to be. In terms of freedom, the Vietnamese can boast with the Chinese. They don't have that firewall, and they don't follow you every minute of the day (unless you've done something against them). You can never change China as long as the CCP holds power.

🇻🇳🇻🇳 Very few can understand the true significance of PEACE and FREEDOM as deeply as the Vietnamese people do. Throughout history, they have fought for their FREEDOM against the Chinese for over a thousand years, and against the French and Americans for more than a hundred years. However, while these battles are now part of the past, the Vietnamese still strive to maintain PEACE and FREEDOM for their citizens.
Balancing relations between the United States and China is no simple task, but the Vietnamese are confident in their ability to do so, particularly given the CCP's negative intentions regarding expansion and conquest.🇻🇳🇺🇸
We should have done this in 1954. Instead we stupidly sided with France.

US is desperately looking for THE UKRAINE OF ASIA. Candidates so far are :

2. Taiwan.

ASEAN today: no Asian security partner wants to choose between America and China. The ASEAN cannot be repurposed to form a coalition to counter China. Thus, no claimant against China in the South China Sea is prepared to join the US in its naval fracas with China.

I lived and worked in VN for 10 years and grow to love the country and its people and its history. I want Vietnam to maintain its well deserved and hard fought independence. I also remember a very good statement from a Vietnamese official when it was opening up the country and receiving different foreign delegations on political and economic conferences - "Just because we Vietnamese like to hear your ideas doesn't mean we like being lectured to".

We r not capable of win/win we only do zero sum & so Vietnam like India & Africa needs to b reminded we can crush them

India has a foot into the West and another foot into the East. A member in both QUAD and BRICS. Standing with each foot on a different boat, what will happen when the boats move?

The US is using Vietnam to fight China. Vietnam is too smart to fall for this game from the US. 😂

China is a strategic partner of Vietnam, while the US is not and probably never. Our problem with China is much different from the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. While Ukraine wants to confirm their separate identity and tries to stay away from Russian cultural sphere to join more deeply into Western European one, absolute majority of Vietnamese love Chinese culture (even the anti-China media are using more Sino-Vietnamese words compared to 10 - 20 years ago, not less) as well as want to connect more deeply into Chinese supply chain, while maintaining our independence.
You are only 50% correct, not all Ukrainians want to stay away from Russian culture, may be just 30% mostly in the western Ukraine. The majority are neutral or pro-Russia before 2014, but after the coup, Ukrainian pro-western government came up with the anti-Russian policy, forcing people to abandon anything Russian. Same as Vietnam, its divided some pro-China, some anti- China )thank to the fake media. Most people in the north(especially border provinces)and governments workers are pro-Chinese, while the south seem to be pro-American anti-China.
Ha ha ha, what drug are you on?
Who own paracel islands?
Using more Sino-Vietnamese words isn't indication of anything. That's like saying Japan is pro-China because they use Kanji.
Im Vietnamese live in Hanoi and i think what nonsense are you saying?
Americans, don't think you are so special that you are well greeted in Vietnam. If you look around, anyone is welcomed that way, especially rich ones, EXCEPT Chinese. If you want to understand why, put yourselves in theirs shoes. There are several reasons:
1. At macro level, Vietnam is still a poor country that depends a lot on export. So Vietnamese government very much likes to deepen trade ties and maintain a good relation with their exporters, especially the US. Vietnam has a huge problem with China: that is it imports too much from China and they are trying hard to reduce it.
2. On a day-to-day life of ordinary people level, Vietnamese people are still very poor, most of them. And what poor people like ? Of course rich tourists who are willing to spend. Western visitors spend much more than Chinese and (I HATE to say this) it is easier to charge Westerners more than Chinese. We understand Chinese well and so do they understand us.
3. Vietnamese in general hate Chinese because of their long history of invasion of Vietnam. Take a high school history book in Vietnam and you'll see yourself how much of it is about Chinese invasion of Vietnam. No wonder why most Vietnamese hate China, Chinese people and Chinese products. (We love Chinese products, but only small items because they are so cheap. But for big items like cars, no way, only Japanese or Korean or EU or US cars. Why? we don't trust Chinese.
4. Vietnam is constantly under pressure from China. They take our sea, our islands, our oil... SO if the US or anyone else could help Vietnam stand up to China, they are welcomed.
But the main point is, Vietnam does not want to get into any conflict for whatever reason. They want to have peace to improve their economy and will take advantage of any chance. The biggest giant problem for Vietnam is not from outside, it is inside. It is CORRUPTION. You must be Chinese or Vietnamese to understand how giant of the problem it is.
PS: I have no issue with Chinese people. I have a lot of Chinese friends and I like most of them.
You over rate the cheap broke low rent American and Euro economic refugees visiting Vietnam.
Chinese spend 3-5 times more than westerners.
Vietnam should be rejecting the West and everything it stands for and turning to their big brother China.
Beijing just opened another stock exchange in Sep 2021 / Vietnam does not have 4 "main" stock exchanges & need to learn the 'c@pitalism way' fast !

Some businesses that shifted production to Southeast Asia are going back as tariffs cut into their margins.
They were doing what successive U.S. administrations and Congress had signaled they wanted. “And you screwed us,” he said.
The expiration of the Generalized System of Preferences, or GSP, in December 2020 meant more than 100 countries lost tariff-free access to the U.S. market for thousands of goods, from travel bags and jewelry to car parts and lamps.
@@happymelon7129 Yeah, right. They just corrupt the dictators & own them!
US working with communist Vietnam? OMG!😂 We lost the Vietnam war there, what are we gonna get this time?
"I'm glad that Vietnam and the US are good friends despite the horrible memories of the past. However, the US doesn't need to talk about human rights in Vietnam. It's not the right topic because Vietnamese people are free without the need for US human rights.
It is the most ridiculous hubris
Our Viet people MUST NEED HUMAN RIGHTS!
Sure, say something bad/negative about the communist government. Go head, I dare you! Let's see how "free" you are!

Like A country keep boiling by racism ? A country with casualty numbers of mass shoting high like they live in a warzone ? Or get shot in their face because police mistake? Or "suicide" with 2 bullets in their head ? Or 18% of population nation is being homeless ? How that "Human rights" workout for you ?
Every politicians of the world can eat street food in Hanoi or HCM city without a single body guards, do you think that can happen in a country killed their own president 4 times ?
With Phillipines, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and eventually Vietnam in US fold, US believe it had surrounding China. Very short sighted policy, eventually will backfired.
There is minimum anti-US sentiment because of lack of anti-US propaganda, but stronger anti-China sentiment especially in north Vietnam due to historical reasons and SEA.
We also never forget the Chinese is the one who invaded us in 1979 and invaded many of our islands that they still occupying to this day,.
Lack of anti-US propaganda you say?
Okay, why do we even need to have anti-US propaganda in our country? You tell me why???
Because of the war??? The war has passed away for almost 50 years now! Many of my uncles who are veterans of the NVA during the war support a closer relation with US, while balancing ties with China.
And yup, stronger anti-China sentiment since once every 5 year the Chinese send ships to our territorial water. Whenever China has internal issues (Xinjiang, Tibet, Hongkong, Covid lockdown, etc.), they will start messing around at our territorial water to distract their citizens from internal issues in the country.
We had been reunified since 1976 already and anti-Chinese sentiment just spreads naturally, the government doesn’t spread propaganda against big powers (Russia, China and US)
@@Pein061 hm.. that's weird. but it seems you guys have forgotten that the chicoms supported the vietcongs while they got decimated with napalms and chemical nukes from the US. personally, i think this 44 year "grudge" has more to do with the fact that vietnam just ain't as rich and powerful as china so it's a way to combat chinese influence and promote nationalism within the country.
Ironically, China is the best anti-China propagandist 😂
No American flag meeting
In that room we don't hang anyone else flag, only our flag. So stop your BS !
@@Pein061 If you made the decision we would believe as you said. However, it is weird only the host flag in the room when meeting the State Secretary of USA, very high level official.
@@garethxue8938 It's already the Asian century / China really doesn't have to "win" in the sense to replace the US as dominant world power. It only needs to reduce the US dominance.
US don!t have problem of that only you😅
The most important is they have good relation and economic partner.
Big comopany of US tarasfered to VN from china😅
@@griffinpixo264 US is begging VN to be against China, while VN refused, in echo of the peace deals in middle east, countries turning to China from US. Bear in mind, VN's biggest trade partner is China, not US. VN is a communist party governed country. VN shows to the world they are meeting high level US official in a room without US flag. What a low demand is from a beggar.
US just balancing the other SE Asian nations for economy to boost up for the better of that nation and their people. Yes, Vietnam is setting up manufacturing at a high and fast pace. The people are extremely excited to get more jobs coming soon.
US loves strong economic countries. Theyre want strong partners, not a bloodsucking weak vampires
Looks like USA won the vietnam war after all, look at the vietnamese begging for resources lol
….And how many Vietnamese killed by the Chinese in 1979-and their support of Cambodia??
China backatab vietnam at invade paracel islands of vietnam. China don't respect VN that's it!
Vietnam has been an American ally for literally several decades now
If by 3rd tier “ally”, that’s not a good position to be in LOL
Vietnamese citizens did not know how to read "My Lai Massacre" i guess😢
The Vietnamese people have moved on from the war even if the American people have not.
we do remember. But US, China still doesn't pay any of their war reparation. Let us play both side to extract some money from them. It's just morally right
Vietnam and the Vietnamese people always remember it all, we went through thousands of years of war. Leaving behind the past, looking to the future, we are still ready to go to war if necessary
You don't read the history either, right?
Yeah we do.. Forgive but not forget
U always talking about human rights. Is that a only Ace card u have 😅??
