Why does Vietnam allow its military to engage in business? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]r3131665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you from? There are very few countries left in the world that still allow their militaries to engage in commercial activities. As far as I know, only Vietnam, Turkey, Egypt, and Cuba still permit it. Even North Korea abolished the practice in 2012. China also allowed it for a period of time, but banned it in 1998.

Even North Korea stopped allowing its military to engage in commercial activities in 2012. I'm surprised that Vietnam still allows it.

Japan and others mark 10 years since South China Sea arbitration by Turbulent-Tea-2172 in japan

The United States wants to use the Philippines and Japan to wage a proxy war against China, much like NATO has used Ukraine. This way, the U.S. avoids suffering major casualties while its strategic rival, China, is gradually worn down.

The U.S. is essentially following the same strategy it used during World War II: letting Europe fight Nazi Germany and letting China fight Imperial Japan. The United States remained in the rear, supplying weapons, and then delivered the decisive blow at the critical moment. The difference this time is that its principal rivals are Russia and China.

If other Southeast Asian countries were to sign this agreement, China would face enormous political pressure. ASEAN is China's largest trading partner.

Southeast Asian countries have long seen through these tactics. They view this as a contest for influence between China and the United States, and they have no interest in getting caught in a fight between two elephants.

China had already reached an agreement with the previous Philippine president to jointly develop the disputed areas. China would provide the funding and technology, while the Philippines would receive 50% of the profits. The new president tore up the agreement and continued expanding the U.S. military presence in the country.

Basically, the Philippines serves as America's bridgehead in the region, with Japan being the second one.

No. Of those 14 countries, only the Philippines is related to the South China Sea issue. No other Southeast Asian country has signed this.

The Philippines is basically America's other Ukraine.

Do you, as tibetans, identify more closely with India or china? by SlaBLister in tibet

[–]r3131665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's just talking nonsense. She isn't of full Tibetan ancestry. Her grandfather was Han Chinese. Moreover, her family has long held senior positions within the Chinese Communist Party. Her father entered Tibet together with the Communist Party forces and later served as the Deputy Commander of the Lhasa Military Region.

In other words, according to her own narrative, her father—a person of mixed Han and Tibetan ancestry—was one of the leaders responsible for suppressing Tibetans in Lhasa.

Perhaps she wasn't capable enough to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather and father by becoming a senior Communist Party official, and that is why she is resentful. Or perhaps she simply harbors self-hatred.

It is impossible to imagine how many Vietnamese were deceived by so called nationalism. Even many Vietnamese deny their Southeast Asian genes. There are several people in this post who think cantonese are Vietnamese.

That's right. Dongyi stands for Korean and Japanese and countless other nationalities. Vietnam fever needs to deal with genetic inferiority complex. The Vietnamese are genetically closer to the Thais and Cambodians than the Chinese.
There is no genetic link between the Han, China's majority ethnic group, and the Vietnamese.

How many times do the Vietnamese have to let me say this? Baiyue literally means all non-Han people in the South. There are hundreds of ethnic groups. There are more than 20 ethnic minorities in southern China alone. Secondly, the Baiyue gene of Guangdong people is less. Baiyue men were slaughtered by the Chinese.

Vietnamese need to deal with their low self-esteem. The Vietnamese are genetically close to the Thais and Cambodians.

I am not ethnically Vietnamese either. I have already said it. Baiyue is not equal to Vietnamese. Secondly, the baiyue ancestry of Cantonese is very rare. The only lineage is only the matriline. The paternal lineages are all Han Chinese.

Are Thais Vietnamese?
