"Conflict Between China And Vietnam Is Imminent" - China Piles Troops, Tanks, Artillery And APCs Near Vietnam Border
Earlier today, Putin did his usual "we are pulling our forces away from the Ukraine border" gambit (sure he is... and is replacing them with a massive airforce drill), and as usual the algos fell for it, after European stocks suddenly surged out of nowhere on the now quite generic bounce catalyst (Update: RASMUSSEN: NO SIGN OF RUSSIAN TROOP PULLBACK FROM NEAR UKRAINE - what a surprise), but what is shaping up as a far more dangerous escalation is what China is doing next to its border with Vietnam, where as reported previously protesters destroyed Chinese factories and killed Chinese civilians in retaliation over yet another maritime territorial spat. According to the Epoch Times, "troops, tanks, trucks, artillery, and armored personnel carriers of China’s military were seen heading to the Vietnamese border on May 16 and 17, according to photographs taken by by residents near the border."
Chinese netizens have been posting photographs of the large movement of the People’s Liberation Army, many of them showing Chinese troops in full combat gear heading to the local train station in Chongzuo, along with military vehicles.
One netizen said the Chinese military was taking the train from the Chongzuo station to Pingxiang City, which shares a 60-mile border with Vietnam. The netizen said that the Huu Nghi Border Gate to Vietnam is also now closed.
One of the photos, taken from inside a passenger train, shows the Chinese military preparing artillery for transport on a train track. Others show Chinese troops and military vehicles traveling along dirt roads.
Another photograph shows troops walking under the red-colored entrance to the Longzhou International Building Materials Market, on Provincial Road in the city of Chongzuo.
A reverse image search of each of the photographs using Google indicated that the photographs had appeared on the Internet only recently. Most were indexed by Google on Saturday.
Collectively, the images and eyewitness reports from the ground show what Taiwanese media are calling an “endless stream” of Chinese troops.
Why is China doing this? Simple: "One netizen, with the username Zhiyuan0703, echoed a common sentiment on the Chinese social media site, “Conflict between China and Vietnam is imminent.”
And just in case the US gets any ideas to support its one time foe, China has already taken measures:
Fang Fenghui, the Chinese military’s chief of the general staff, spoke with reporters at the Pentagon on May 15, alongside U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.
Fang defended China’s oil drilling in disputed waters with Vietnam. He also warned the United States on taking sides, saying through a Chinese translator “there is possibility that these issues could affect or disturb the relationship between the two countries and two militaries.”
White House press secretary Jay Carney reiterated the U.S. stance on China’s oil rig, however, during a May 15 press briefing.
He said China’s oil rig, which the Chinese regime has accompanied with “numerous government vessels” is a “provocative act and it raises tensions in the region, and by raising tensions makes it more difficult to resolve claims over disputed territory in a manner that supports peace and stability in the region.”
Carney said the United States takes no position on the territorial claims, but, “We do take a position on the conduct of the claimants who must resolve their disputes peacefully, without intimidation, without coercion, and in accordance with international law.”
Regarding China’s oil rig and the tensions that have formed around it, Carney said, “We consider that act provocative and we consider it one that undermines the goal that we share, which is a peaceful resolution of these disputes and general stability in the region.”
But fear not: the futures are actively monitoring this, and all other global geopolitical conflicts, and are absolutely confident the Fed will fix it should war break out. As usual, we wish algos the best of luck, because as ET summarizes, "China is currently involved in territorial conflicts with nearly all its neighbors." Once again - what can possibly go wrong? Judging by the photos below, nothing at all.

Belgium will buy!
Those waffle-wizards sure got some serious cash to spend.
Exactly.
Amazing what a printing press and a bit of legerdemain can accomplish. The number of paths that can be found to scam the system.
This does not end well.
USA has to be chuckling over this. Please, oh, please, China, don't invade dat briar patch.
Sanction china, oh please oh please do it
Frequently you have heard on this forum about counterparty risk. Perhaps you haven't thought enough about what this means. Every Treasury instrument that China "Owns" has a serial number. all the serial numbers are on fille at the Treasury Dept. All we have to do is anounce that none of the following serial number instruments are now valid, and no further payouts will be made on them; and Bingo. No more China. That's what counterparty risk means. Think about it; it's just that simple.
Now that USA has woken both the panda and grizzly bear, we need a bear whisper more urgently than ever btw that horse whisper Kerry was a mistake.
Noone finds it odd that only 2 months after a Malaysian airliner that went missing off the Vietnam coast (with lots of Chinese nationals) that China is arming and massing troops on the Vietnam border?
Interesting, huh? The entire Asia theater is a hotbed right now....
there's actual fighting in the ukraine, just when zerohedge seems to have gone quiet on that front.
Time to fast track Vietnam into NATO
Commies vs. commies.
Put me down for 5 bucks on China.
I'LL SEE YOUR 5 DOLLARS AND RAISE IT WITH 5 YUANS!!
I trump your raise with 6 magic wands.
So, long dong?
another nothingburger?
Like watching paint dry....inside of a humidifier.
congrats to the usa maggots for building china into what it is today. kudos!
They're rewriting your new national anthem as we speak...
nixon "opened up" china in the 70's. a rothschild op designed to defeat mao's "communism" which was working. people were living cooperatively in villages practicing the tenets of communism. it was thriving and the boys had to stop it. anyway, the chinese sure can make a cheap pair of underwear. so it worked out for us.
Yup,
Those cooperative people were busy with the Cultural Revolution which made Communism work so well.
Thriving so much that children joined the Red Guards instead of attending school for ten years.
Just as well. Studying might make you have to wear glasses and you know what happened to people who wore glasses.
were you there, fratboy? http://www.countercurrents.org/onesto190808.htm anyway, you've got the right handle
a rothschild op designed to defeat mao's "communism" which was working. people were living cooperatively in villages practicing the tenets of communism. it was thriving and the boys had to stop it.
Lulz. Just fucking lulz.
china is much better off with capitalism. i hear ya. today they have nets on the sides of the factories to keep the workers from committing suicide. that is if they don't develop lung cancer first. if they get real lucky, they hit the lottery for one of those ghost city condos...
China practices capitalism? ROFLMMFAO!
For bonus points, name 10 countries in the world that use a true capitalist economic system. I'll be keeping a lookout for skittle-shitting unicorns while I wait for your answer.
Sure, didn't you know that central planning, capital controls, central banks, commodity collateral finance wheezes... are all part of laissez-faire capitalism? *facepalm*
today they have nets on the sides of the factories to keep the workers from committing suicide.
Riiiiight... cuz back in Mao's day the workers were so hungry they wouldn't have had the strength to open a window to jump out of, let alone climb the stairs to get high enough. Just out of curiosity.. what percentage of the population commits suicide here in the West? I see. and how many people do Foxconn employ again? Oh, really? So maybe the Chinese suicide rate isn't that high after all? Mmmm, good catch.
any of you droolers read the article i posted? i thought so. that's not a strong skill
no, moron, because your
http://www.countercurrents.org/onesto190808.htm
is dead.
... though http://www.countercurrents.org/onesto190808.htm is not
But don't bother going there; it's a laughable whitewash of Chinese Communism and the heroic, omni-benevolent Mao.
i'm sure mao's communism worked well... for mao at least.
It's about time. That whole "land of the free, home of the brave" thing has become an obsolete relic.
By the wocket's wed glare, the bonds bursting in air...
Gave proof through the night that our gold was still there.
At the risk of gilding the lily, I humbly suggest, "By the budget's red glare, the bonds bursting in air . . . "
Yes, but I'm not sure they're really everything they appear to be.
Hirary was bought! Look it up.
In other new, Obama is drawing another red line on the lawn of the white house.
For now it's still unsure if it's Vietnam/China related or it has anything to do whith his training concerning his golfing handicap as no autocue has been reserved to make any speeches...
Lets throw a pile of sanctions at the fuckers. That will stop it.
ANGRY EMAIL IN CAPITAL AND BOLD LETTERS HERE WE COME!!!

actually... now I understand why nobody takes them serious... THE LINE IS DOTTED!!!!

You're brilliant SD!
The dotted lines let all that juicy 'gravitas' slip through, leaving just a wimpy dotted line...
It's this kind of deep analysis that keeps us coming back to ZH.
So is this what they mean when they talk about global warming.
<Seems like a bunch of political hot spots to me.>
The US does whatever it wants. Why shouldn't everyone else? LOL.
Because the others are not exceptional ?
Those others don't have God on their side like we do.
Gott mit uns
The US government does whatever it wants. Anyone else who tries is a "terrorist."
The hubris of empire.
We now have the perfect set-up for the expedited fall of rome.
Consider the present state of our country. We are worse than broke- we are MASSIVELY in debt and burdened with an idiotic, kardashian-idolizing population who possess, of all things, a superiority complex. What else.. America is emotionally and psychologically tapped out and vulnerable to poor morale, from a combat standpoint. Too many wars under bullshit pretexts. We have a govt that has lost the respect of its citizens because of its uber partisan nature, oligarchic shenanigans, plus it treats its citizens like THEY are the fucking enemy. America has an identity crisis because of its pro immigrant stance that helps people come in but who actually dont give a fuck about this country except how to game it, and all so the democrats can get cheap votes to stay in office till the end of time.
WE DESERVE TO GO DOWN
May the fall be swift, complete, and relatively painless. Sort of like being guillotined. I wonder if you sense your head 'falling' for a millisecond. . .
Just had an image of Fonestar's severed head, dripping blood and held up before the roaring crown silently mouthing 'Buy more BitCoins'
Didn't you get Darth-Cheney's memo? Debts don't matter. At least until the rest of the world repudiates your printed currency. How long before that happens?
THE GREAT PEKING DUCK WARS!!!
Or General Tso's chicken?
"How many TBills do the own again?"
No Worry, Yellen and the Federal Reserve have that covered.
They can buy trillions of debt from that mysterious Belgium account.
One of many accounts around the world to buy up any amount of treasuries or debt. So go ahead and dump your trillions of treasures.
What would it do to the trillions in derivatives of that debt if it were simply, "forgiven". Yeah, dumping T-bills would probably be bullish for derivatives but if they just disappeared?
The problem is not Government debt per se. The real problem is that the $70 trillion in G10 debt is the collateral for $700 trillion in derivatives… --Raoul Pal
No worry, the FED will buy it all! Did I say the FED? I meant BELGIUM! Yes, Belgium, that's it. With their 400 billion GDP, they will surely be able to buy 1+ trillion in Tbills in a few days right?
Faso Burkina can always jump into fill the gap along with Tobago & Trinidad.

This is Han. Those of you who are foolish will think of him as...gook, slope, slant or dink. He is your enemy. He came over on the Chieu Hoi programme. And he will go back there after he fattens up on C- rations. And he will be hunting your young asses in the Ashau Valley. Now forget about this Viet Cong shit. What you'll encounter out there is hard core NVA, north Vietnamese...motivated, highly trained and well equipped. If you meet Han or his cousins, you will give him respect. And refer to those little bastards as Nathanial Victor. Meet him twice, and survive, you can call him Mr. Nathaniel Victor
when I was in Vietnam a few years ago, we went out to shoot a cow with a RPG and shoot some chickens with a AK74
all those weapons still came from a old army depot from the vietnam war.
Their weapons (vietnamese) suck.
Unless the US supplies them with new weapons off course... anybody know how much gold Vietnam still has?
If it goes bang when you squeeze the trigger - it doesn't, by definition, suck. Especially if you've dragged it across a greasy swamp, then through some sandy scrubland - both of which Vietnam has in more than adequate supply - and it will still go bang.
And, let's be honest, the US, UK, Germany, Russia, etc have all been selling them (and China) more modern stuff for years, too. It's all crated up somewhere waiting for the inevitable opportunity to use it on whoever whichever bankers are calling the shots currently need shooting at.
Is "we must counter the communist threat in vietnam" what obozo will be orating next? I cant fucking believe the latest developments in this world.
Lemme get this straight. We have another cause to go defending vietnam AND the cold war is back on with the Russians?
WTF!!!
Nothing like limp-wristed weakness to provoke a bully.
Wonder if we can get the Red Army Choir to back Country Joe and the Fish. Or maybe the Leningrad Cowboys can just do a cover...
China could use the gdp boost with the weapons technology they stole from US. This time it will be different.
Accept against overwhelming force with a mandate to get in, do the thing and put an end to it quickly - the way the U.S. used to fight wars before the liberal/socialist/democrats took over.
yeah, it was so great
Moar War! If we don't get our fat noses all up in this shit I will have lost all faith in my .gov.
Since this is my first World War. I never realized, they took so long to get started.
If we ever want to make a hollywood picture from this, we'll need a interesting plot that sounds credible.
Based on what I am seeing the world is plum out of credible.............
WWI got going pretty well and that one made exactly zero sense too.
I'll wait for the Bollywood version; just as many explosions, but wow! with the dancing!
But it's almost always the same soundtrack.
WW3 with India in it will look exactly like this;

It's the journey not the destination...

To be fair, the Toledo OH police force looks fiercer than that.
In the Vietnamese conflict of the 1960s the Russians and Chinese supplied NVA arms.
This time it will have to be the NATO countries.
Yes but will the Chinese adhear to the rules of egagement...doubt it..
Yup, if it weren't for those darned politicians back home, we would have won Viet Nam!
There may not have been a single surviving Vietnamese man, woman or child, but we would have won!
Muscular flexations. Testosterone build up. Boys and their toys
0bama has already made a deal with the Chinese and gave them a free hand in SE Asia. He will not support any nation against China. Heck, 0bama will not even support his own nations people (think Benghazi). President 0bama is a traitor to America and to the civilized world.
"President 0bama is a traitor to America"
Chairman Obama is a Marxist.
Comrade Obama is a feckless, incompetent, sophomoric, thoroughly dishonest boob. His appearance on the stage may well shorten the lives of your children.
I agree with that and I'm from Canada
I hope the Chinese are smarter than the Ukrainians and don't leave a parked , self-propelled howitzer with a live round in the breech and no one watching the vehicle.
You've seen goods from China, surely? Well, they were designed and made by Chinese. So what do YOU think?
Would love to see Obama's sanctions on China:
1) We will not accept Chinese money to fund our deficit.
2) We will not sell China Boeings, putting Americans out of work.
3) We won't buy Chinese electronics, although China is pretty much the sole source of all of them on the planet and we are 99% dependent on them, and American companies will all go more bankrupt without them.
4) Americans will need to mauch due without iPhones and Air Jordans (causing riots everywhere here)
Yeah, we hold a lot of cards there. <cough></cough>
Don't forget the the Chinese dump of US bonds ......
Pah, just the excuse Mr Yellen needs to untaper. I can hear Dimon, Blankfien et al now: Thanks, China!
You hit the nail on the head. The only thing Obomba will do is put more troops in the Pacific Rim....
Friends make friends alike, one in Asia another one in Europe.
Good get our POWs Back, Mao! Let the slave labor wars begin!
Seems we have a new axis forming.
but is it evil?
Did you mean axe?
Does the messiah in Washington know? Will he raise his hand and bring peace? Will the Chinese and Vietnamese kowtow and thank him for bringing his peace to the world?
Yellen and the US Federal Reserve banksters are ready to buy-up all treasury dumps from private accounts around the world.
Yellen and the Federal Reserve banksers think they have infinite power.
Well, they certainly have infinte quantities of USD, which - financially speaking - pretty much amounts to the same thing... until the currency collapses and it doesn't mean the same thing, of course.
But we got a POMO today
Oh great....we get to see Perry crying on the news again!
Don't worry people. The Whitehouse is all over this. They're currently debating on which strategic #Hashtag should be used to stop the war!
The way for the Chinese to win this battle is for the Chinese leadership to allow around 10m of their soldiers to surrender to the Vietnamese.
Guarding them, feeding them and the like will require a great many soldiers which will absolutely drain the Vietnamese side.
algos don't read ZH.
China watched in jealousy as Russia annexed Crimea without a shot. China wants a piece of the pie too. All this undermines US credibility. Russia and China are testing the waters. Has the US become a paper tiger or will it aggressively defend its interests against the rising powers?
I believe we've become a pond in a flood.
Our military has been designed (since WWII) to be capable of fighting up to two seperate (and well-defined) conflicts in independant theaters. There's no way we can deal with the "global war on terror" we've created, Afghanistan, the rest of shit in the MENA, and Russia and China. There is just no way, and everyone knows it.
The French and the US and even the Chinese have not had much luck invading Vietnam in the past. While I am sure that the Chinese army will not be operationally hamstrung like the US troops were, there are still plenty of old soldiers to show the new Vietnamese soldiers how to dig tunnels and set booby traps. I don't see the benefits to China from doing this, so if things escalate this could turn out like the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Hasn't the lesson sunk in that invading countries where the people don't want you no longer works?
China is not going to invade Vietnam. This is showing off, China wants eeeeveeryone to know they take this veeeerry seriously and they will not tolerate attacks against Chinese citizens. If there's going to be fighting it's going to be aerial bombing and naval action. But that's still a long time away if things go in that direction.
I agree, but also Vietnam has got to be the most friendless country in the world when it comes to defending itself from China. This will embolden the Chinese.
Exactly, there's zero need for the Chinese to invade to teach Viet Nam's 'leaders' that allowing their subjects to kill Chinese will have substantial costs.
US markets almost green. Some Euro markets are green.
War is hell and the NWO says war is bullish. BTFATH folks!!!!
What is Obomber's Tee time?
Boy, good thing I know conspiracy theories dont exist,
Else, I would say this and the Ukraine were related......
then I would go on to say in the next month NKorea will mis-behave, and Iran would ratchet it up one via syria and or Lebanon....
and China/Japan would warm up as well.....
Good thing, there are no consipiracies....
All of this is clearly bullish anyway...... Is gold getting smacked ?
Right on, the old "good cop, bad cop" routine on a global scale.

How can Vietnam fight a country like China? They need some help. US troops back to Vietnam!
Hasn't there been talk that the US has recently allowed Vietnam to enrich uranium? Who knows, they might already have nukes. ;-)
Cue John McCain demaning US troops to support VietNam. Oh, the irony!
Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing. And for Vietnam vets, I'm thinking "Damn that's gotta hurt".

Vietnam, the quagmire of all quagmires. Good luck with that China. Maybe this time they will call the supply route "The Obama trail" instead of "The Ho Chi Minh trail".
Behind the saber rattling is the world wide hunt for secure oil and gas supplies. The United States, working for its OPEC masters, has sent thousands of American soldiers to death in overseas lands to eliminate threats to OPEC. Iraq and Libya no loner undecrut OPEC's benchmark price. Syria is in ruins because of its allying with Iran, a rogue state in the eyes of OPEC, which wants to control oil and gas production in the Middle East. Following OPEC's example of creating a geographic sphere of influence in the Middle East (with the assistance of American soldiers), China now wants to use its military forces to control oil exploration rights in the South China Sea. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Obama administration continues to issue propaganda about the wonders of fracking even as some of the gas wells start to run dry and the fracking zones generate mini-earthquakes.
I agree that this is all about securing resources (See M. Klare's Resource Wars).
About the only other imminent conflict left to heat-up to a low boil is between India and Pakistan, which should be coming shortly.
This is from the Epoch Times, which is the mouthpiece of the notorious Falun Gong. They are venomously anti-China, and are as credible as you would expect from an evil religious cult.
They're 'venomously anti-China', or just venomously anti- the Chinese 'leadership', who routinely order the torture Falun Gong members?
True BigJim, but good to know the perspective of the source none the less.
China must be hiding all the money in the oil rig bitchez
The American war machine follows "NO RULES". Depleated Uranium. Torture. Corporate America Arm Sales UP.
Corporate America backed by IMF/ CFR / when they go to break laws they Hire merinaries.If you hire a Murderer, are you not guilty? How does the USA feel they are above International laws. Already the moral Laws are gone, the want or need is to have Corporations control everyone and everything......backed by the Petro Dollar which is backed by the FED which controls the US Government . Tax payer's foot the bill, even thogh the amount of workers are at an all time low. Time to bring the pupet Masters to Task.

So much for Marc Fabers take of the rise of the Vietnamese economy
Yep, that might have to go on hold for a bit.
Shit about to hit the fan everywhere.
Russia-China military drill near Senkaku islands May 20-26.
The whole Vietnam-China thingee. Vietnam preparing for war. China preparing for war.
The US just indicted 5 Chinese military officers for espionage, theft of info...
Russia-Ukraine...there's still massive fights in the east, separatists are more and more well equipped they got high tech anti-air and anti-tank missiles.
China-Philippines. China is building an airstrip on a contested island.
June 1, Russia cuts gas to Europe is Ukraine doesn't pay.
May 25 : Ukraine presidential election (good luck in the east) + European election (where anti-EU parties are leading in UK France and Greece and stronger in Germany this could be real fun)
Thailand : army on high alert for the next 2 weeks as deal to calm things is blowing up...
Libya : militias are taking over parliament.
Jordan : Jordan army on the border with Syria again, massive exercises with many countries soon.
India : the new prime minister is a hardcore nationalist who wants to punish Pakistan and China if they fuck around...
And on top of all this, you get the world economy going back into depression... WE NEED MORE QE!!
upvote for the summary of this weeks' "news" that will barely get MSM coverage.

China may go to war with Vietnam. So much for communism brohood.
This started as china set up an oil rig in Vietnam’s waters and Vietnamese protestors went berserk, burning down Chinese factories and killing Chinese nationals. China evacuated most of their people there. China has economic and military ties to Russia. This is going to get ugly. The Russians and Chinese ran military drills near their "precious" Senakau islands. Russia is close to making an important economic development with China, a natural gas pipeline, priced in rubles.
Us allies:
EU, although its more like a prisoner's allie. We fuck them in the ass, and they do what we say because they are our bitch. Have another IMF sausage up your butt, enjoy guys.
India: We don't fuck them as hard. I guess we think they are ugly or something
Pakistan: people hate us there but the government is corrupt and does what we tell them to for the $$$
Saudi Arabia: Poster child of democracy
Half of Ukraine, we hope the better half
China: well sort of our friends and enemy at the same time. We call them frenimies. War with them would be certain economic ahniliation for us. China wouldn’t be doing so well either. But whatever it takes to keep a billion and half people rooting for the people in charge, by killing half of them in a nuclear Holocaust.
Vietnam: Gooks have short memories
Japan: We have military agreements to provide them adult diapers in case of emergencies. And robo tentacle porn redboxes.
Australia: We will need some place to go after the nuclear annihilation of the east and west
UK: London is like Manhattan lite, or is it the other way around? The citizens are cool. We will at least have someone to complain with after the end of the world. Oops, no electronics. Shit
Philippines: they stay on our good side somehow.. leathernecks smether necks. We're good. But we're always saving their asses, not the other way around
Germany: there is a multi generational hatred of war there, hardly what I call aggressive
French: always great to have looking after your backs
Israel: seem to not understand what a US ship looks like, and likes to rain hell on anything that moves during a war. But I'm sure its an honest mistake....
Iraq and Afganistan: uh well yeah
Us enemies:
Russia: calling them corrupt is a good one, makes for lightness which we so much need. They have nukes and might actually use them, on us first. RT will be so popular with the average American which is so well informed by the telescreens after wwIII.
China: makes more than a few percentage of the parts for the most expensive military airplane in history, which has dubious value. Oh and one of the largest US treasury holders in the world. They supply nearly every important consumer good in the US including advanced electronics. They have access to every important area of current American technological advancement. Except they are producers. All we know how to do is consume. We do the eating, you do the working. How can you beat a system like that? Fine be that way.
Iran: no comment necessary
Venezuela: no comment necessary
Americans: NSA, TSA, IRS, FBI most of these arms of the state spend most of their time terrorizing ordinary citizens who dare raise their head up from their cellular phones. More than 1% of the population is behind bars. They haven't arrested you yet because they haven't gotten around to it yet, lawbreaker.
China raising the tension because it's internal trouble is going up. One tactic to divert internal trouble is to create external chaos.
You don't say? They did that too cause NATO is occupied with Ukraine... I don't think China ever thought it would go that far. They thought that Vietnam would scream and shout but do nothing. So far they are right... the only thing worrying is that state newspapers say that China should go to war with Vietnam to teach them a lesson on how China is peaceful... LOL
http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/article/1513297/pla-general-blames-vietnam...
China’s state-run newspaper backs ‘non-peaceful’ steps against VietnamGlobal Times says a 'forced war' would convince some countries of 'China's peaceful intentions' as PLA General Fang Fenghui points finger of blame for Vietnam unrest at US strategic 'pivot' to Asia
lol, China is always so clumsy in its propaganda, make war and kill lots of people to convince people of how peaceful we are, you will accept how peaceful China is or we will kill you, lol. love it.
China has 'lost face' because of the burning of Chinese factories in Nam and the forced evacuation of Chinese citizens living in Nam.
Losing face is a very big deal in the East.
Losing face in the West, not so much.
It's surprising to some Western observers how quickly the Eastern citizens can go from tranquility to outraged ballistic.
Wars and rumors of wars.
Bullish.
#China demands #ASEAN stay out of #Vietnam dispute; SEAsian group of nations sending 'wrong signals'
So China telling them : shut up or you're next??
"Don't forget the the Chinese dump of US bonds ...."
Yellen and the Federal Reserve banksters have that covered.
They can buy trillions from their IMF accounts in Belgium and elsewhere.
Vietnam is our brave ally and has always been our stalwart friend standing in the way of monolithic international communism.
China is our enemy and has always been our enemy...... hate...hate... hate.
