Vietnam's recent statements on the South China Sea issue have attracted widespread attention.
In particular, the claims to the Paracel and Spratly Islands, at the same time, the Philippines and Vietnam have also announced the strengthening of coast guard cooperation, hyping up the topic of "confronting China".
Behind this abnormal statement may be the coercion and temptation of the United States. In recent years, China-Vietnam relations have been developing well.
China has provided a lot of resources and assistance to help Vietnam develop its economy and improve people's lives. However, the abrupt change may have been influenced by the United States. Therefore, China's counterattack against Vietnam is inevitable.
China has responded strongly in rhetoric, making clear its firm stance on sovereignty in the South China Sea. At the same time, in terms of action, China has strengthened cooperation with Thailand.
China's move of the center of the Trans-Asian Railway to Thailand has put some pressure on Vietnam. Such a move shows that China will not sit idly by, but will take concrete actions to protect its interests.
Unlike the Philippines, Vietnam is highly dependent on China for resources, electricity, etc. This gives China more leverage to respond to Vietnam's assertions.
China has responded to Vietnam's claims by strengthening its ties with Thailand. However, the complexity of the South China Sea issue cannot be ignored.
The South China Sea is rich in resources, including oil, natural gas, and fisheries, from which countries want to benefit. This has led to an escalation of disputes in the South China Sea.
On this issue, China has always advocated the settlement of disputes through dialogue and negotiation.
China has proposed a "dual-track approach" to resolve disputes through negotiations with the countries directly involved, while working with ASEAN countries to maintain stability in the South China Sea.
China has also proposed a framework for a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, which aims to establish a comprehensive and effective code of conduct through consultations to ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea.
However, U.S. involvement has complicated the South China Sea issue. The United States is trying to use the South China Sea issue to contain China's rise.
By strengthening cooperation with the Philippines and Vietnam, the United States is trying to form a containment of China in the South China Sea.
However, such a move not only violates international law and basic norms governing international relations, but also further exacerbates the South China Sea dispute and further complicates the situation.
Under the current circumstances, all parties should exercise restraint and calm and resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation. All countries should put the maintenance of regional peace and stability first and work together to promote the settlement of the South China Sea issue.
At the same time, the international community should pay more attention to and intervene in the South China Sea issue, provide neutral mediation and mediation to all parties, and promote the settlement of the South China Sea issue.
The South China Sea issue is not only related to regional security and stability, but also to the development of the global economy.
All parties should settle disputes through dialogue and negotiation on the basis of the principles of mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing, so as to jointly safeguard peace and prosperity in the South China Sea.
The article mentions that the recent visit of the Chinese foreign minister to Thailand has led to a series of cooperation agreements between the two sides, especially in the Trans-Asian Railway, which has enhanced Sino-Thai relations.
The two sides plan to speed up the construction of the China-Thailand railway, promote the opening of the Trans-Asian Railway, and provide support for cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
The China-Thailand Railway is about 867 kilometers long, connecting Bangkok with Nakhon Ratchasima, and is planned to be extended to Nong Khai to connect with the China-Laos Railway.
The construction of the railway will bring economic and social benefits to Thailand, promote the first in China and Thailand, shorten transportation times, reduce logistics costs, and promote tourism exchanges.
For Thailand, the construction of the railway will create jobs, boost GDP, strengthen connectivity with neighboring countries, and promote economic integration in Southeast Asia.
The article points out that this is a win-win cooperation project and could be a heavy blow to Vietnam.
Abstract: The article talks about the importance of Vietnam in regional cooperation, especially in the context of China's promotion of the construction of the Trans-Asian Railway.
However, Vietnam's claims in the South China Sea, which are matched by Philippine and U.S. activities in the South China Sea, have cast a shadow over Sino-Vietnamese relations.
The article stressed that Vietnam should fully understand the mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with China, and called for strengthening mutual trust and deepening cooperation to achieve long-term stable development of bilateral relations.
The article also mentions that the United States has induced Vietnam to benefit in manufacturing, but stressed that Vietnam needs to recognize the situation and not be confused by short-term interests.
