China on Thursday vowed to continuously enhance mutual political support with Vietnam and inject new impetus into the socialist drive of the two countries and their bilateral ties in the new era.
The remarks came as Li Zhanshu, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, held talks with Vietnam's National Assembly chairman Vuong Dinh Hue via video link. [...]
Li said that the NPC is ready to promote friendly cooperation between legislative bodies, and enhance coordination in areas related to anti-interference, anti-sanctions and anti-containment so as to defend international fairness and justice and the common interests of developing countries.
Hue expressed the willingness to advance the effective progress of bilateral ties and pledged to strengthen communication and cooperation with the NPC.
I don't think we've seen this level of commitment to cooperation between the two countries since the Vietnam War — hopefully it holds up if the US decides to invade Taiwan (or the rest of China).
The US is all bark and no bite. They will never invade a country that they think can put up a fight.
This is the country that keeps building carriers despite the fact that their own war machine keeps telling them that carriers can't do shit against ballistic weapons.
The US spends millions on wargames where they figure out all of the extremely cost effective ways to take out aircraft carriers, and instead of retiring them they double down.
:top-use-words: : "A single dolphin with a knife can take out half of the US Navy in an hour."
:bottom-speak: : "Then we need to build more boats so the dolphin can't destroy them all."
:top-use-words: : "No, that will only slow down the dolphin, that won't fix it."
:bottom-speak: : "Too late already mailed the check to the ironworks."
Now imagine a Vietnam that's had close to half a century to modernize and build up military infrastructure.
I haven’t read any Ho Chi Minh to speak of, appreciate the recommendation
I was really confused by the NPCs here.
Like, I had to really try to get through the internet poision to comprehend how based it is
