        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.
