    Vietnam Vietnam Economy Thread

    I do not think that the US would strengthen other countries (especially not in regards towards territory owned by other sovereign states), in their crusade against China. Basically their main interest is to relief themselves of the immense $ burden - maintaining a military balance in the SCS and...

    South-China-Sea

    Hello @Viva_vietnamm, I moved your post to the Vietnam section since IMO it doesn't belong in the China section - hope you don't mind.

    Vietnam Vietnam Economy Thread

    That is good news for Vietnam - more money more happy citizens and thus far less ambitions for getting into a war. As for: China is worried about losing its title of "world factory" amid increasing external pressures, including the US-China trade war and the war in Ukraine. Does not mirror any...

    China South-China-Sea

    Okay - granted, but who is to say that a map generated by a German cartographer out-rules/over-rules maps done by Chinese Ming or Qing cartographers? Furthermore a map of Johann Matthias Haze in 1740 wouldn't even show a unified Imperial Germany since it only got into existence in 1871. But...

    Indonesia Casual Discussion Warkop Indonesia

    From what I have seen/observed worldwide and especially S.E.A. - the population can and does revolt - see Suharto's ending. However once the "new" government is in place it becomes more a "change of pockets" then actually combating corruption. As such one could also say that the respective...

    Indonesia Casual Discussion Warkop Indonesia

    Don't get me wrong guys, but for countries such as Indonesia it doesn't matter if the electoral process or the ruling party is democratic or autocratic. The "true" cause/agenda of a respective party and it's leaders towards corruption is the deciding issue. Once corruption is eradicated or...

    Sweden's state TV interviews terror leader amid membership bid to NATO

    Why not, if it serves democracy!! but anyway he is dead isn't he? or did the CIA reactivate him? And NATO and the Ukraine government in Kiev can't spend a single day without repeating and repeating - we fight for democracy and freedom. Nothing about being against annexation by Russia - which...

    China South-China-Sea

    Maybe you should take some time to find out as to what statements have which background. Dumb Trump's political statement - in order to get elected also beheld the idea - (promise to his voter's) that the USA will no longer finance the defense of Nations who do not contribute a necessary share...

    China South-China-Sea

    You think that the US is just for the fun of it stationing and committing large contingent's towards S-Korea? Feel free to state what military assets China in your opinion is missing to hunt and destroy a submarine - and quit this Mongol nonsense.

    Sweden's state TV interviews terror leader amid membership bid to NATO

    Well Sweden simply is adhering to it's democratic layout. After all, that is what Ukraine is fighting for - right? to preserve it's democracy, freedom and rights of all.

    China Set To Become 1st Country To Get Martian Sample Back On Earth

    The article doesn't say that or even implies it. But China's achievements in space are impressive and will hopefully continue to be so.

    Former US Defense secretary says China ‘could bring Taiwan to its knees’ without invading

    Finally an American politician with a sense making statement - it's actually what many people have been saying all-along in the past 10 years.

    China Set To Become 1st Country To Get Martian Sample Back On Earth

    Well, the more samples the better I guess - let's hope that NASA and ESA get a hold of them as well.

    China South-China-Sea

    I see - so Submarines to you are invincible - I think you need to try much harder to convince anyone of Vietnam's ability to take on China.

    China South-China-Sea

    you are citing past history e.g. Dean Acheson’s ‘Perimeter Speech’ on Asia (1950) In January 1950 Maybe it's time that you "update" yourself - e.g. https://defense.info/re-thinking-strategy/2019/08/reshaping-perimeter-defense-a-new-pacific-island-strategy/ feel free to tell me China IMO...

    China South-China-Sea

    No if you make such a statement - you would need to back it up with e.g. economic and military sources and stats. - otherwise it's just a personal statement of yours. Please feel free to show Vietnam's "superior military" in facts and figures - in regards to China. Personally however I would...

    China South-China-Sea

    if so - would only proof to S.E.A. that the US would not be the partner to look for ;) However S-Korea is a red-line for the USA - and China is not willing to cross a US red line. The same goes for the Taiwan issue - it's a red line for China. And the USA is not willing to cross a Chinese red...
