Again, the difference is that US surrounded China with military bases, has been trying to build things like QUAD to contain China, and has now started an economic war with China. Saying that both whine is simply false equivalence. US is a clear aggressor here, and China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.
Ah yes, US is just trying to protect Vietnam from big bad China because US has a long history of helping countries like Vietnam. Cool story bro.
The context for the discussion is US flying spy planes in South China sea. Vietnam has nothing to do with that last I checked. And I'll spell it out for you too, here's what relations between China and Vietnam actually look like:
I don't need to check again, US has absolutely no business in South China sea. Whatever disputes Vietnam and China may have, are absolutely unrelated to US constantly escalating tensions there. I'll try and explain this to you again, US comes half way across the world to surround China with military bases, and to constantly fly military aircraft and sail military ships right by China. This is an act of aggression, and it's absolutely surreal that you continue trying to pretend that it's China that's the aggressor here.
Bro I never said China was the aggressor. I said that both the US and Chinese spokespeople are being whiny posturing removed.
Ok bub. I know you’re just here to push your propaganda line, but if you want to talk about aggression in the South China Sea how about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_South_Reef_Skirmish.
Once again, there’s grey in the world and the countries we support can do bad things that we should call out, and it isn’t a flaw or a weakness to admit that.
Once again, US comes half way across the world to surround China. Chinese complaints are legitimate, US complaints are the complaints of a bully.
And this still has no relevance to the discussion of what US is doing in South China sea. I have no idea why you keep bringing that up as some kind of a gotcha.
Yet, every single intervention that US has done since WW2 has made the world worse, destroyed countries, and led to countless millions of deaths. US needs to mind its own business and to stop trying to play world police.
What part of US has no business in South China sea are you struggling with precisely?
Whatever territorial disputes China might have with Vietnam are for China and Vietnam to resolve. Your shithole country has no business playing world police, please try and get that through your head.
