China is the poster child for "might makes right".. just look at Tibet and Mongolia, and lets not even talk about their history of violence.
The people running that regime are diabolical and evil. As bad as America is perceived and yet we have problems, the fact remains that America is far more morally capable.
Vietnam is one heck of a strong country and people. They know China better than most and also recognize that if you give them an inch they will take a mile. This is how they operate. My sincerest desire is to destroy China and send them back a hundred years and keep them there. They use a VERY selective version of history to display.
And on the war talk, the US and allies would win a war with China, no doubt. Look at what little Japan did to them when being outnumbered. They dont have the "oomph" required to win a war.

I don't think the rest of the world realy cares a lot about America or any other country they don't live in to be honest
Here in the UK we get far too much POTUS and American interest in the media than we should
I'm sure it's all designed in the modern age to make us accept America as the world police men,the wall to wall covering of your presidential elections over here is comical
I used to joke with mates when ever we saw a big movie in the cinema or on the small screen,the Stars and Stripes is in so many American movies in long shot

The article mentions the "nine-dashed line" for territorial claim, so I went to look up what that was.... Oh.. WOW...
I don't know why, but I hadn't quite seen it this way before. I mean..THAT far south? It's nice China left Vietnam any waters at all, and I can see why they aren't happy now.
(China’s nine-dashed line in South China Sea)
There it is, for anyone else who hadn't seen a map drawn quite that way for showing the lines and areas involved.
That is quite a claim.
So everyone else there's no difference between them and their government, but the US is somehow special?
