>>> the reality is NO ONE will dare to fight China in it´s own backyard. <<<<<

Thinking of Viet Nam as a people (culture) and not as the despicable Hanoi Commie government......

The reality is that Viet Nam has been fighting and beating China for several hundred years.

A ground battle at the northern border woujld be a disaster for China, and I doubt it would even find much domestic support inside China.

The Spratlys are another matter. Five countries claim some level of ownership.

yes but the important fact is HAS BEEN beating China...
If we like it or not China has become the dominat military power in Asia. and for domestic support. When have the Chicoms ever cared if their actions are supportet by their own people? they don´t care nor do they need the support of domestic people.
