*Media Black Out? Has anyone notice that neither CNN nor the BBC or anywhere else in the media has anything on this story?
Non of it has been brought up by ether Presidennt Bush or Codelizza Rice or for that matter the U.N.
Answer: Because the whole Vietnam /China "conflict" situation has been EXAGERATED.
Its practically non existence!

Both Vietnam and PRC has been in dialog for years. This is just another round of peaceful talks.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-12/...ent_7230702.htm


If people actually READ the article.
Its very plain from this passage that they want to settle the dispute with DIAGLOGUE.
"The leaders of the two countries had exchanged views on this issue several times and agreed to settle the dispute through dialogue and consultation to safeguardthe stability of the South China Sea and Sino-Vietnamese relations, he said."

I wish Asians would get along better. If its not with Vietnam and China its with Lao and Thailand or Cambodia and Thailand etc. If its not with them its with Japan and Korea etc etc. Even after going through two World Wars Europeans got most of their act together. A great accomplisment! And thats why the EU has been growing in strength. People need to stop acting like sheeples and wake up. Think outside the box.

It shows Asia is only a little bit above Africa but still below Europe. Sad but true.

Most likely. When the US bombed the Chinese embassy, and during the Spy Plane incident, there was always talks of war and whatnot.

Henry,

That is nothing new. That what China says about the dispute but reality is it true? "Settle the dispute thru dialogue"??? When?

1974: Chinese Navy invaded Hoang Sa and killed 54 Vietnamese Soldiers
1988: Chinese Navy invaded Truong Sa and killed 74 Vietnamese Soldiers
2005: Chinese Navy shot and killed 9 Vietnamese fishermen
2007: Chinese gov. announced adm. plan for those disputed islands

is this what China mean by "settle thru dialogue"???

These are minor border disputes. Its not all out war. They hardly even make the news. Yet even bring out a UN resolution about it for that matter.
Now who is the agressor of those soldiers fighting is a matter of debate. I disagree with any side killing civilians as well.

This of course hasnt stop either of them from trading with one another.


Border disputes is alot more common that most people realize. Even America and Canada has them.

How can you say "minor" when the Chinese sent ships down and invaded those island. And along the way, they shot and killed many Vietnamese.

So only when there's an all-out war then it news worthy and becomes major border disputes???

anyways, if something happened between 2 countries in Africa, China might think its minor but to those countries, its not "minor" like you think.

With the recent event, it did make news. All you need to do is search.....

Not even Bush has mentioned it. I would think the US would be one of the first countries to have held a press conferance about it. They do have embassies there. How many days has passed now since?
Has even the UN held an international press conference about it?

Foreign policies as in territorial disputes. Territorial disputes is a testement to China's endless greed at the complete disregard of others. Take a look at this:



Any objective person will notice the sheer greed.

South Korea also had trouble with China's greed for more territory. Take a look at this map:



South Korea dispatched a survey ship to the red dot in the map, and what did China say? China said that the activity is "infringing Chinese sovereignty" and sent a warship to threaten the South Korean vessel. And China even made claims on the Korea-Japan Joint Developement Zone(marked as JDZ on the map). It's just sheer greed. Territorial disputes between Korea and China may well become much more intensified once Korea unifies, or as early as when North Korea is free of Chinese political influence. North Korea has resolved border issues with Russia, but China is still complaining that North Korean territorial claims conflict with Chinese interests.

SantaKlaws, you are making a huge mockery of Vietnamese intelligence. Strategically-speaking, we could really care less about your disputes with China. What are you going to do to help Vietnam? Send over some of those new KDX-III AEGIS ships to help us defend our islands? No. South Korea ain't gonna do jack $hit, period. Why? Because it is not in a position to do so. As much as I disagree with the PRC's unilateral decision to set up a mini administration on islands under its control, your attempt to incite further uproar isn't going anywhere as far as geopolitics is concerned. And its not like as if this is going to explode into a childish "Dokdo"-esque campaign either.

So far, I am surprised NO ONE has brought up the issue of Taiwan in this matter. In fact, the most recent development in the region that has actual relevance to Vietnam's national interests comes from the Taiwanese. Taiwan currently has possession of the single largest island (Thai Binh) of the region and has maintained a military garrison on the island since the 1950s. They have been building up military installations and just recently, an airstrip. Developments like these make it very hard for Vietnam to reassert control over the islands and it looks like the Taiwanese are more than happy to give us the finger:

http://eux.tv/article.aspx?articleId=18030

As long as the PRC AND the Philippines does not screw around with islands in our possession or violate the terms of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and commit to joint-exploration of oil in the area, then I am all fine. But we must not allow parties like Taiwan establish military bases on the islands. This will prove to be detrimental to future Vietnamese energy security.

Now, am I really "mocking" Vietnamese intelligence, or are you just pissed because I am criticizing your beloved China? I am expressing my opinion that China tends to engage in very greedy and controversial territorial disputes and frequently uses military aggression. I also believe that there's much potential for strategic relations between Korea and Vietnam in the future so long as the two share a common threat and enemy, China. icon_wink.gif

O RLY now. SantaKlaws, perhaps you need to brush up on the recent events in your own country before boasting about the strategic credibility of South Korea. IIRC, didn't South Korea just set up a new joint military hot line with the Chinese military? See, I am a realist. I am all for Vietnamese-South Korean strategic ties to counter the PRC. But here's the tricky part: there's this whole new different world called "reality," and this is something that YOU need to get a better grasp on. All this talk about strategic alliances and friendship is fun n' all, but once the $hit hits the fan, do you honestly think we are stupid enough to expect South Korea to go all up in arms to help out us Vietnamese? No, I don't think so. So instead of cheering on the sidelines like a fool or acting as if you are the head honcho of the ROK government, I would like to see more action, and less bull$hitting. Aight?

In any case, I'd rather see closer Vietnamese-Japanese strategic ties over South Koreans any day. The fact that the JMSDF denied the PLAN access to one of their Kongo class destroyers shows that the Japanese do have some backbone in their foreign policy (assuming its not from U.S. pressure). But the recent provocations by Taiwan is something that the Vietnamese government needs to take seriously, much more so than the meaningless mini administrations of China.

Oh plesae, what does military hotlines have anything to do with streatgic alliance? The U.S. and China plan to set up a military hotline as well, so do you mean that they intend to become military allies?

You ought to pay more attention to more substansive, though subtle, strategic moves, such as South Korea agreeing upon "strategic flexibility" of USFK with the United States.

And I don't have a problem with closer Vietnamese-Japanese strategic ties. icon_wink.gif

China is flexing their muscles but Vietnam will not simply stand by passively. While dialogue is in motion between the two countries to reach some sort of reasonable compromise, the peaceful protests and demonstrations will surely gain momentum as international awareness reach its boiling point and the political pressure breathing down China's neck.

It was easy, When China Claimed those islands during the Qing Dynasty, countries like Vietnam, philippines, and any of those Southeast asian countries didn't give a $hit, they didn't know what the heck oil is.

Later the French robbed those islands from CHina and after the French retreated they passed to Vietnam. China said no way, the French stole from us and we going to take back from Vietnam.

So, that's how it come down to.
If you want to blame, then blame your ancestors, they didn't give a $hit to those islands during early times and didn't go after it hard enough and negotiate /w chinese government when first claimed.

Một là với tính cách nhà nước, đội Hoàng Sa, một tổ chức bán quân sự đă được giao nhiệm vụ, riêng một ḿnh kiểm soát và khai thác định kỳ, liên tục và hoà b́nh hải sản quư cùng các sản vật kể cả súng ống của các tàu đắm tại các đảo Hoàng Sa suốt thời Đại Việt, trong thời các chúa Nguyễn và thời Tây Sơn, tức từ đầu thế kỷ XVII đến năm 1801 và sau đó là buổi đầu triều Nguyễn từ 1802 – đến trước 1815. Từ năm 1816, đội Hoàng Sa phải phối hợp với thủy quân. Hàng năm, đội Hoàng Sa hoạt động trong 6 tháng từ tháng 3 đến tháng 8 âm lịch (tháng 4 đến tháng 9 dương lịch) để phù hợp với điều kiện thời tiết ở vùng biển của quần đảo Hoàng Sa.

Hai là suốt thời nhà Nguyễn, bắt đầu từ 1816, thủy quân được giao trọng trách liên tục kiểm soát, bảo vệ Hoàng Sa và Trường Sa.

Ba là về mặt quản lư hành chánh liên tục suốt trong 4 thế kỷ từ thế kỷ XVII đến năm 1974 (khi Trung Quốc dùng vũ lực cưỡng chiếm), Hoàng Sa được các chính quyền ở Việt Nam để thể hiện quyền lực tối thiểu của ḿnh, đặt dưới sự quản lư hành chánh của Quảng Ngăi (khi là phủ hoặc là trấn hay tỉnh qua từng thời kỳ lịch sử) hoặc của tỉnh Thừa Thiên (thời Pháp thuộc) hoặc của tỉnh Quảng Nam - Đà Nẵng (thời chia cắt Nam Bắc) rồi đến thành phố Đà Nẵng (thời thống nhất đất nước).

Việc xác định sự quản hạt này hoặc đựợc ghi trong các sách địa lư của nhà nước biên soạn như bộ Hoàng Việt Địa Dư Chí hoặc Đại Nam Nhất Thống Chí dưới triều Nguyễn, hoặc do chính hoàng đế hay triều đ́nh (Bộ Công) như thời vua Minh Mạng khẳng định, hoặc bằng các dụ, sắc lệnh, quyết định của chính quyền ở Việt Nam như dụ của Bảo Đại, triều đ́nh Huế, Toàn Quyền Đông Dương ở thời Pháp thuộc, hoặc tổng thống, tổng trưởng trong thời kỳ Việt Nam bị chia cắt, hoặc quyết định, nghị quyết của nhà nước, quốc hội thời độc lập thống nhất. Điều này khác với Trung Quốc, chỉ xác định sự quản lư hành chánh sau năm 1909 tức vào năm 1921 và rồi vào năm 1947… có nghĩa là sau Việt Nam hơn 3 thế kỷ. C̣n tất cả chỉ là suy diễn không có bằng chứng cụ thể rơ ràng.

Chính quyền ở Việt Nam qua các thời kỳ lịch sử, ngay cả thời Pháp thuộc, chưa bao giờ từ bỏ chủ quyền của Việt Nam ở quần đảo Hoàng Sa, nên ngay cả khi bị Trung Quốc chiếm đóng trái phép sau chiến tranh thế giới thứ 2 hay năm 1974, quần đảo Hoàng Sa vẫn được tỉnh Quảng Nam và từ năm 1997 đến nay là thành phố Đà Nẵng quản lư.

Bốn là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm, bất cứ dưới thời đại nào, nhà nước ở Việt Nam cũng có những hành động tiếp tục khẳng định và thực thi chủ quyền hàng năm như đo đạc thủy tŕnh, để vẽ bản đồ do đội Hoàng Sa cuối thời chúa Nguyễn hay do thủy quân từ năm 1816 dưới triều Nguyễn (bộ Đại Nam Thực Lục Tiền Biên, Đại Nam Thực Lục Chính Biên hoặc Đại Nam Hội Điển Sự Lệ của Nội Các, hoặc Châu Bản triều Nguyễn đă ghi rất rơ, đă được tŕnh bày trong phần tài liệu). Sau này, từ đầu thế kỷ XX cho đến năm 1974, Việt Nam cũng tiếp tục tổ chức các đoàn thám sát, đo đạc, vẽ bản đồ.

Năm là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm, dưới triều Nguyễn, nhất là từ năm 1836 trở thành lệ, hàng năm đều luôn luôn tổ chức xây dựng bia chủ quyền từng ḥn đảo. Trong thời bị xâm phạm cũng thế, các chính quyền ở Việt Nam luôn tiếp tục cho dựng bia chủ quyền thay thế bia bị hư hỏng.

Sáu là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm, các triều đại Việt Nam, nhất là thời vua Minh Mạng của triều Nguyễn đă cho dựng miếu thờ làm bằng nhà đá (đá san hô), đào giếng mà năm 1909 các đoàn khảo sát đầu tiên của Trung Quốc ở Hoàng Sa đă trông thấy và khẳng định không biết có từ thời nào. Riêng tại đảo Phú Lâm, tài liệu Trung Quốc [ ghi có miếu ghi rơ Hoàng Sa Tự của Việt Nam. Sau khi có sự xâm phạm, chính quyền ở Việt Nam cũng tiếp tục cho xây miếu và nhà thờ.

Bảy là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm, dưới triều Nguyễn nhất là thời vua Minh Mạng đă cho trồng cây tại các đảo để cho thuyền bè ở đàng xa nhận thấy, tránh bị nạn, và các nhà nghiên cứu thực vật như La Fontaine cũng thừa nhận các thực vật cây cối ở Hoàng Sa phần lớn có nguồn gốc ở Miền Trung Việt Nam.

Tám là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm, dưới triều Gia Long như tài liệu phương Tây của Gutzlaff viết trong The Journal of The Geographical Society of London, vol 19, 1849, trang 97, đă cho biết Việt Nam đă thiết lập trại binh nhỏ và một điểm thu thuế. Đến thời kỳ bị xâm phạm từ năm 1909, các chính quyền Việt Nam lại là chính quyền sớm nhất đă tổ chức các trại lính đồn trú ở đảo Hoàng Sa (Patlle). Trong khi Trung Quốc chỉ cho quân chiếm đóng một thời gian ngắn sau chiến tranh thế giới lần 2 rồi rút đi (năm 1956, Trung Quốc chiếm lại đảo Phú Lâm (Ile Boisée). Đến năm 1974, Trung Quốc dùng vũ lực chiếm trái phép các đảo c̣n lại trong các trận đánh trên đảo và ở biển với hải quân Việt Nam Cộng Hoà, kết thúc vào ngày 20 –1-1974).

Chín là chính quyền ở Việt Nam đă cho xây trạm khí tượng đầu tiên tại đảo Hoàng Sa (Pattle) vào năm 1938 hoạt động trong thời gian dài cho đến khi Trung Quốc chiếm đóng bằng vũ lực năm 1974.

Mười là trước thời kỳ bị xâm phạm tức năm 1909, chính các hoàng đế Việt Nam như vua Minh Mạng và triều đ́nh, cụ thể là Bộ Công đă lên tiếng khẳng định Hoàng Sa là nơi hiểm yếu trong vùng biển của Việt Nam, nằm trong cương vực của Quảng Ngăi.

Mười một là trước khi bị xâm phạm, chưa có một hải đảo nào được nhiều tài liệu chính thức của nhà nước, từ chính sử địa lư của Quốc Sử Quán Triều Nguyễn như Đại Nam Thực Lục Tiền Biên, Đại Nam Thực Lục Chính Biên, hoặc địa dư như Hoàng Việt Dư Địa Chí, Đại Nam Nhất Thống Chí, hoặc sách hội điển, một loại pháp chế ghi những điển chương pháp chế của triều đ́nh như Khâm Định Đại Nam Hội Điển Sự Lệ. Cũng chưa có một hải đảo nào tại Việt Nam lại được những nhà sử học lớn của nước Việt Nam đề cập đến như Lê Quí Đôn trong Phủ Biên Tạp Lục (1776), Phan Huy Chú (1821) trong Lịch Triều Hiến Chương Loại Chí , Dư Địa Chí, hay Nguyễn Thông trong Việt Sử Cương Giám Khảo Lược. Đặc biệt việc xác nhận chủ quyền của Việt Nam trên quần đảo Hoàng Sa lại c̣n do sách của chính người Trung Hoa viết như Hải Ngoại Kư Sự của Thích Đại Sán viết năm 1696. Đó là chưa kể nhiều tác giả tây Phương như là Le Poivre (1749), J Chaigneau (1816-1819), Taberd (1833), Gutzlaff (1849)… cũng đă khẳng định rơ ràng Hoàng Sa thuộc chủ quyền Việt Nam!

Mười hai là bản đồ An Nam Đại Quốc Họa Đồ Của Giám mục Taberd trong cuốn Tự Điển Việt – La Tinh, nhan đề Latino – Anamiticum xuất bản năm 1838 đă ghi rơ : Paracel Seu Cát Vàng ở Biển Đông. Trong khi bản đồ "An Nam" này chỉ vẽ có Paracel Seu Cát Vàng, lại không có vẽ Hải Nam của Trung Quốc trong biển Đông. Rơ ràng bản đồ An Nam Đại Quốc Hoạ Đồ đă minh chứng Cát Vàng tức Hoàng Sa chính là Paracel nằm trong vùng biển của Việt Nam.

Như thế với chức năng kiểm soát sự khai thác các sản vật ở Biển Đông và những hành động cụ thể trực tiếp khai thác các sản vật của Đội Hoàng Sa, một tổ chức dân binh liên tục gần hai thế kỷ suốt từ đầu thế kỷ XVII cho đến năm 1816 cùng những hành động xác lập và thực thi chủ quyền rất cụ thể như nêu cột mốc, dựng bia, xây miếu, trồng cây, đo đạc thủy tŕnh vẽ bản đồ của thủy quân Việt Nam từ năm 1816 dưới sự chỉ đạo trực tiếp của vua và triều đ́nh cũng như những lời tuyên bố của vua , triều đ́nh nhà Nguyễn và sự quản hạt hành chánh vào Quảng Ngăi từ đầu thế kỷ XVII đến đầu thế kỷ XX là những bằng chứng hiển nhiên, bất khả tranh nghị về chủ quyền của Việt Nam tại quần đảo Hoàng Sa. Mọi sự tranh giành chủ quyền với Việt Nam là hành động trái với luật pháp quốc tế.


This is from forgeCool, I'm gonna translate some lines to you
- From 1816, the Nguyen kings had constantly send his navy to Hoàng Sa to control and protect the archipelago.
- Hoàng Sa had long been under the administration of Đà Nẵng province since the 17th century. This was recorded in many history books like Hoàng Việt Địa Cư Chí, Đại Nam Nhất Thống Chí etc. On the other hands, China has only started to establish administration on Hoàng Sa since 1909 (3 centuries after Vietnam).
- "The Journal of The Geographical Society of London", vol 19, 1849, page 97, said that Vietnam has established military bases and tax-collecting stations on Hoàng Sa.
- Western journalists like Le Poivre (1749), J Chaigneau (1816-1819), Taberd (1833), Gutzlaff (1849)… all affirmed that Hoàng Sa was a territory of Việt Nam.
- The map "An Nam Đại Quốc" by Bishop Taberd in the book Latino – Anamiticum (1838) showed Paracel Seu as part of Annam but ommited Hainan (which belonged to China).

Yes, that's fully correct, unless you shown me something that says otherwise.

You should know that at the time there was a cold war between the communist side and the free world side so the communist side would rather let their side have these islands than let the free world side have them but these islands were under the control of the Republic of Vietnam at time so North Vietnam's words were valueless.
