In recent years, the Vietnamese army has suffered a serious decline in business, but for its geographical location, their military strength is still a bit too strong.
* Problems such as old and lax training exist in Vietnam.
However, as the army does business, the control of the army is getting worse and worse, and the army will not easily give up reducing its strength in order to consolidate its voice and sense of existence.
The 500,000 or so active troops are too much compared to the 60,000 in neighbouring Laos and 130,000 in Cambodia, and even more than the 370,000 in Thailand, which is close to warlordization.
Without the need for regional hegemony, this Vietnamese army would be too strong.
That is, the current situation of the Vietnamese army is too outrageous to be alarmed.
However, after the army has gained the ability and awareness of self-help in doing business, after gradually relying on its own strength to encroach on Vietnam's domestic economic field, this force has become too big to lose.
Once there is a head-on conflict with Cambodia, it is difficult to guarantee that the Vietnamese army will not create disputes between Laos and Cambodia, especially Cambodia, which has a close relationship with China but is not actually adjacent to each other, and then retains its strength on the grounds of regional hegemony.
Therefore, the situation in Vietnam is not very safe for China.
So to a certain extent, the loosening of restrictions and in-depth cooperation between the United States and Japan on Vietnam is a bit of a feeling of burning the stove in advance and waiting for the problem to erupt before fanning the wind.
Under this premise, when we talk about cooperation with Vietnam, we must not only base ourselves on the present but also be vigilant for the future, and we must both relax restrictions and carry out economic adjustment, as well as carry out necessary military coordination.
The relaxation is to take advantage of the fact that Vietnam's armed forces have not yet fully expanded, to reduce Vietnam's national defense sensitivity, so that it does not have the soil for the issue of continuous military expansion in the country.
Economic adjustment is to deepen the extremely high sense of existence of the armed forces from inconspicuous places, so that they can enhance their strength and restrain or restrain the armed forces.
The necessary military coordination and cooperation is another way to prevent the formation of a close relationship between the Vietnamese military and China, including the training of young officers and the introduction of some supplies, so that the Vietnamese military can form a certain degree of goodwill and dependence on the Chinese side in terms of personnel and economy, so that the Vietnamese military may maintain a certain degree of influence in the future.
