Recently, there have been media reports, China and Vietnam warships to the South China Sea gas dispute waters assembly, and the media that, in the more warships transaction was sparked off by the end of June, CNOOC announced that the South China Sea 9 oilfield blocks for bidding. The face of the waters of controversy, more and more indications that the more is likely in the near future there is still time war broke out. In particular, Vietnam purchasing weapons from Russia to fight in the South China Sea dispute.
Than the Philippines, Vietnam military operations in the South China Sea issue is more radical, after all, the Vietnam war in the South China Sea near China, Britain, the United States and other countries, the media said that Vietnam is a modern Spartacus, a militant countries, and ultimately ended in failure, but the country still do not learn from their mistakes.
At the end of June, Vietnam assumed a tough stance and wrong accused Chinese vessels of oil exploration operations in Vietnam; July 9, Vietnam has accused the Chinese vessels to the destruction of their exploration of oil and gas equipment; July 13, into different types of artillery and the army, in its claims to sovereignty economic zone nine hours of live-fire exercises. Vietnam such a practice is actually a kind of psychological tension and anxiety of the situation. Want to play and did not dare to fight, you want to have to, however.
Vietnamese oil-for-weapons
Data from recent years, Vietnam has been mined from the South China Sea oil has more than 1 million tons of oil and natural gas, and tens of billions of dollars profit. At the same time, Vietnam's offshore oil production has exceeded 30 million tons, of which 800 million tons produced in Vietnam sea, the disputed waters, great fishing and tourist resources in the South China Sea for the Vietnamese brought a lot of revenue.
However, in order to hold this big bonanza in the South China Sea, Vietnam in recent years, rapidly expanding arms purchases from Russia. Russian sale of Su-30MK2 fighters to Vietnam, and equipped with advanced "gem" anti-ship missiles, missile boats, submarines, "Cheetah" class frigates "Bastion" shore-based missile systems and other weapons. Vietnam has become the second largest purchase of Russian weapons after India. Russia to Vietnam sold for the fight against weapons from maritime aggression, including the weapons used to protect the resources of the continental shelf.
Vietnam to build Nansha fleet against China's South Sea Fleet, against China's aircraft carrier fleet, further and China compete for the Spratly Islands and Paracel Islands.
China's domestic situation may promote a military conflict with Vietnam. To divert public attention from the country, a short-term victory is the most appropriate way.
Vietnam to curb the cradle of the war
Against Vietnam, South China Sea issue, China will not let go, to Japan on the Diaoyu Islands issue I continue to recover sovereignty. But does not allow other countries and trample. China anyway will be continuous development in the South China Sea islands. While this will make Vietnam was very upset, but they are if excessive, will give lessons. Vietnam knowingly wrong, the strength of asymmetry, they joined hands with the old enemy the United States, while a large number of the purchase of Russian weapons. At present, Russia to Hanoi six Kilo-class submarines are not yet delivered. Undoubtedly, the enemy is weak when the fighters, but the use of force will have side effects.
And for the South China Sea, China has the action, and can not be too late, even should speed up the step outs to solve the South China Sea, South China Sea issue is the battlefield of the war in the Asia-Pacific region. Especially with the transfer of U.S. military strategy, then the United States is likely in the South China Sea region and other countries to further joint to contain China.
In fact, we can see, the South China Sea issue is just the Philippines, Vietnam a small country, the weak and against China, if the wait for the United States completely withdraw from the Middle East into the South China Sea time to go to recover the development of the South China Sea probably much more difficult than it is now . And allegedly, the future U.S. and Asia-Pacific countries to hold more and more military exercises, but I'm afraid probably except the lack of military exercises China.
Same time, Vietnam has been purchased from Russia a large number of military weapons and equipment from procurement to take some time, also takes time from the equipment to prepare for. Can use this time to Vietnam to curb the threat of China in the cradle. Although Vietnam to China does not pose a threat to Vietnam this practice has posed a threat to China, China does not allow this situation to occur, the event, the China-Vietnam relations are very complex.
