Is the link given in mandarin? I cant seem to read it.. Or maybe its my server..
Coming to the thread, i dont think China would be stupid enough to attack Vietnam unless they are facing a huge internal dissension and revolt, whereby taking on an foreign nation would prove an distraction to public disenchantment.. As far as Japan is concerned it has as a defence pact with America.. So China would be wary of attacking it..
Already Chinese intentions are looked upon with suspicion in south east asia.. In any case if China attacks Vietnam, alarm bell would ring all across South East Asia and Asean nations would rush into American arms to sign defence pacts with it... Pretty soon China will be looking at a American security arc from South Korea to India...
Thats why i said Chinese wouldnt do any such stupid things.
