Risking China’s Ire, India Signs Defense and Oil Deals With Vietnam

By The Tim MagazineVietnam's PM Dung waves next to his Indian counterpart Modi at the forecourt of India's presidential palace Rashtrapati Bhavan in New DelhiVietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung waves next to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi during Dung's ceremonial reception at the forecourt of India's presidential palace in New Delhi on Oct. 28, 2014Adnan Abidi—Reuters

The agreements were signed during a visit to India by the Vietnamese Prime Minister

The announcement came during Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s two-day visit to India, during which his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi pledged to “quickly operationalize” the $100 million line of credit established during Indian President Pranab Mukherjee’s visit to Hanoi in September.On Tuesday, India pledged to supply naval vessels to Vietnam and also secured oil exploration rights from Hanoi in parts of the contentious South China Sea, in moves that promise to ruffle a few feathers in Beijing.

Along with an expedited sale of four offshore patrol ships, India will also take up enhanced training programs for the Vietnamese military, according to the Economic Times.
The agreements come at a time when the Vietnam, along with several other Southeast Asian nations, is locked in territorial disputes with Beijing over territorial claims in the South China Sea.

“Everybody’s worried about what China’s going to do next,” says A.B. Mahapatra, director of New Delhi–based think tank the Centre for Asian and Strategic Studies–India. “That is a common concern between [India and Vietnam] now, because all through history they never thought that they should expand their trade relationship or their defense relationship.”
Hong Lei, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, reasserted Beijing’s claim to the disputed Spratly islands in the South China Sea, but said it would not object to any joint exploration by India and Vietnam in undisputed waters.
“But if such cooperation harms China’s sovereignty and interests, we will resolutely oppose it,” he said.
Both Vietnam and India are growing closer to China economically, and a recent visit to New Delhi by Chinese President Xi Jinping yielded agreements worth billions of dollars.
But Mahapatra points out that neither Indian nor Vietnamese economic dependence on China precludes territorial conflict, and assumptions that Beijing would not destabilize a region in which it has economic interests have proved wrong time and again.
“[India and Vietnam] realize that if they don’t encounter China now, they will lose [the territory] forever,” he says.

Well, if the evil Yuon/Vietcong (Vietnam) continue to be a little child to claim the territory and water belong thei thief nation (Vietnam), then give China province back (Norther part where Hanoi city located), give or return the Champa land (Central Vietnam) back to Cham people who was disappeared because these evil Yuon/Vietnamese killers, and lastly give or return Prey Nokor (Ho Chi Minh), Kampuchea Krom (Southern Vietnam) and Koh Tral (Phu Quoc) back to Cambodia.

Vietnamese folks and leaders are very stupid and brainwashed to believe they have had their country or land and created the fake history or rewrite their own country as Vietnam.

It is better off Vietnam and Vietnamese folks to have no land, they should be on water or let Chinese kick them out and let them live or float on the water.

They (stupid Vietnamese folks and leaders) borrowed Chinese writing and tone, Arab and Latin to created their language until French did change the Yuon language writing alphabets for them.

This evil Vietnamese folks should have no country instead because they keep claiming and creating their own country that was a stolen land.

Vietnamese nation is a Killer and robber country stolen from China, Champa and Khmer (Cambodia).
