After defeating the USA—polishing off China should be a piece of cake for Vietnam. Maybe they could get some Chinese Actors to march in the streets for Vietnamese rights or start protests at the Chinese Universities? They won the war—let them fight this one by themselves! I put my money on Red China. They thought we were bad—just wait til you see the Han Chinese Boys in action! Vietnam better just suck it up and give up on those islands—they are now part of the new Chinese Empire.
Viet Nam and China have a long, bloody history together. The Sino-Vietnamese War (Third Indochione War) was a more recent chapter in the story.
Charlie tried to stick their lot with the Soviets......ooops, that didn’t work out too well for them.
Because of the treaty we signed with them to end the war, I don’t think we’re allowed to involve ourselves militarily anyway. Unless they find some other country to help them, they’d be on their own.
Also, the issue involves more than *just* the PRC and the SRVN; the area has several overlapping claims.
