I haven't heard of the Chinese Navy docking at the Port of Sai Gon or in the Red River as a show of friendship. That was a fairly strong statement of intent.
And just prior to the Vandegrift's arrival in Sai Gon during Nov. 2003, I personally saw dozens of uniformed Aussie military guys (easily 100+) pouring out of the Sai Gon Center Building on Le Loi, apparently there for some sort of joint military conference. They were even out late at night in the local Vietnamese techno clubs.
Don't be surprised if ANZUS eventually becomes VANZUS.
Makes me feel good. Thanks for passing that along.
