    Default Vietnam mobs burn factories

    I find it hard to believe that the mobs came about spontaneously.

    Who is invested in Vietnam? Not me, thankfully.

    Anyway, here is a tongue-in-cheek view.

    It is like the spontaneous mobs that protest in China against Japan.

    Feelings on the ground are real - but the protests are only allowed to happen with government blessing.
    You'd think China of all people would understand this system & the risks it creates having played the exact same card themselves so many times.
    Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon - it knocks over the pieces, craps on the board and flies back to it's flock to claim victory.

    China's Ploy
    China, being big brother China, the Center of the World China, is now keen to assert her sovereignty over the disputed territories in the South China Sea in a forceful and unambiguous manner.

    China was make to act because Vietnam is going after the oil.


    China's Attitude Towards Vietnam
    Such an attitude towards Vietnam is not new. Few may remember the 1979 Chinese invasion of Vietnam (the brief Sino-Vietnamese War). China launched this offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia in 1978. It was a punitive mission by the Chinese - to punish the Vietnamese for not "kow-towing" to China's might. After capturing a few border cities, China pulled back.

    Go and read the History, Vietnam invasion was after Deng Xiaopeng visit to Singapore. We sent equipment to the Thailand and getting ready for the invasion of Vietnam. We brought four E2C early warning radar plane because Vietnam was able to land C130 in Paya Lebar Airbase undetected. Where were you when we are getting ready for the invasion of Vietnam.


    So Vietnam decided to burn Chinese factories in Vietnam. Yeah baby, let the mobs and the hordes loose. Fuel their anger. It is a logical move. Vietnam was prepared to use civil unrest, within its own country, to try to make a statement to China. Burn their factors, hurt their private sector and state companies even if it meant that Chinese would cut back on investments.


    Taiwan is the one that is more affected not China. One Stone Two Bird.

    I was in the spore navy at that time and those refugees that were intercepted before they reached our coast were provided with food and water and towed out and left to the mercy of the sea. looking back i think it was a shameful thing to do, the boats were definately not seaworthly and most of them perished at sea, the lucky ones made it to australia. how many died after we pushed them back into the ocean, nobody will ever know. it was like a death sentense with a very slim chance of clemency. could we have been more humane and given these people shelter until a third country decides to take them? how would you have felt if you were one of them being treated as if your life is almost worthless?

    and by the way, some of the boats which were in better condition were seized by the navy and painted in the navy colours and became part of the fleet. what a joke.

    anyway this sad part of our history, of how we were so cruel to our fellow human beings will never be taught in schools or mentioned in public.

    There are about one million Chinese in Vietnam (two percent of the population). There used to be more but many were forced to leave. Many of the so-called Boat People that fled Vietnam during a much-publicized exodus between 1975 and 1980 were Chinese Vietnamese (See Boat People).

    SINGAPORE (AP) _ The remaining 99 Vietnamese boat people in Singapore have been taken to prison for processing before being sent home to Vietnam next week, the government said Thursday.
    Singapore said it will give humanitarian assistance of $760 to each Vietnamese who returns voluntarily.
    Southeast Asian countries are scrambling to expel the last of the Indochinese who fled Communist takeovers in their countries two decades ago. Funding from the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees ends June 30 and has been extended only for Hong Kong, the country with the largest number of boat people.
    More than 1.6 million Vietnamese and thousands of Cambodians have settled in other countries, but thousands more were rejected as political refugees and remain in camps.
    Singapore said 86 of the refugees were allowed into the country only after the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany gave written guarantees that they would be moved to a third country.
    Births at the Hawkins Road refugee camp brought their numbers to 99.
    As these ``countries have failed to honor their unconditional guarantees, it has become necessary for the UNHCR to arrange for their return to Vietnam,'' the government said.
