| #4 At one time in the distant past, a Chinese ethnic had a kingdom that included the area around modern Hanoi. That makes Hanoi and the surrounding countryside part of China, according to certain of the Chinese historical revisionists. The Chinese make the Muslims look like pikers when it comes to "We owned it for a minute, therefore it is ours for eternity" claims. All of which plays into Hanoi's/Politburo's fears of China, and gives the US an edge in the regional competition. |
