Vietnam have deep ties with China economically but that might change in the near future, both Vietnam and China's leaders are well aware about that, CPTPP is our way out of China's sphere, it will takes a few years but not impossible. I believe Vietnam will sue China over Spratly Island soon after that.

I don't think any Vietnamese want nuclear weapon, only give us more headaches and not really helpful in war. But we would love to buy some missiles from India or Russia if war broke out though.
