REPEAT ITSELF
1979: China invaded Vietnam (Details below)
China is building up her military and
oil supplies at a fast pace. (Recently, China tried to buy EXXON.)
Most Americans
know that China is building her military up to be the next super power. It's not a secret that
China already has nuclear submarines off the coast of California, Oregon and Washington. Their missiles can go pretty
far into the western United States.
Do you think
China will invade Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, or Vietnam first? (Or will they go after the Russian Oil fields.;
Or will China continue to concentrate on getting a strong foothold in Central America and South America.)
Or do you think China has other plans?
1979: China invades Vietnam
China has sent hundreds of troops into Vietnam after weeks of tension
and a military build-up along the border.
Vietnamese Vice-Foreign Minister Nguyen Ko Tach has told ambassadors in
Hanoi the Chinese troops have occupied nearly all Vietnamese border positions and are advancing southwards.
He did not give any idea of casualties or whether he would be calling on
the assistance of the Soviet Union.
Vietnam and the USSR signed an alliance last year, but military analysts
think it unlikely the nine Russian ships in Indochinese waters would be of much value in a land campaign.
An official statement from China has expressed a willingness to negotiate
peace "after counter-attacking the Vietnamese aggressors as they deserve."
Deteriorating relationship
The assault follows months of exchanges between Chinese and Vietnamese authorities
about illegal occupation of the ill-defined frontier territory.
Foreign observers have reported a quadrupling of the Chinese force there,
numbering up to 150,000 troops and 300 aircraft, in the past three weeks.
Vietnam appears to have fewer soldiers as up to 100,000 of their troops
are currently serving in Cambodia and another 25,000 are in Laos.
The Chinese Government in Peking (later Beijing) claimed the Vietnamese
had made over 700 armed incursions into China and killed or wounded over 300 Chinese soldiers and civilians over the last
six months.
The official Chinese Hsinhua News Agency said: "We do not want a single
inch of Vietnamese territory. All we want is a peaceful and stable border."
Chinese vice-premier Deng Xiaoping has also threatened the Vietnamese Government
in Hanoi with "punishment" for its engagement in Cambodia.
Hostilities between Hanoi and the Chinese-backed Cambodian Government broke
out last year and culminated in the Vietnamese invasion on Christmas Day and collapse of Pol Pot's regime.
Vietnam has appealed to the United Nations and has not cut off diplomatic
relations with China.

Hanoi Feels The Pressure
[Sender note: Hanoi's squawking, as spelled out below,
means
they are upset and unhappy with, and perhaps
worried about, US criticism of Hanoi's oppression of
religions. This
is all the more interesting as US
pressure has been relatively feeble. It also means
that this pressure, wimpy
though it may be, is
effective to a degree. Lesson: keep up the pressure.
Increase it. Don't let up.
Expect a Hanoi
counter-psychological offensive, as indeed was
initiated with last year's Resolution 36. Keep
writing
congressmen, sending letters to Hanoi's
Ambassador, etc.]
US committee petition on religious freedom slammed
(29-10-2005)
HANOI
- Viet Nam flatly rejects the US Committee on
Religious Freedom's petition to maintain Viet Nam in
the list of countries
of particular concern regarding
religious freedom, Vietnamese Foreign Affairs Ministry
spokesperson Le Dung said yesterday.
The
petition was groundless, and the country had
facilitated conditions for all religions and beliefs
to develop. There
was no such thing as "religious
repression" in Viet Nam as claimed by the petition,
Dung said.
The Vietnamese
Government and the majority of
religious followers have over the years asked the US
State Department to remove Viet
Nam from the list of "
countries of particular concern" on religious freedom.
Dung also demanded the US Government
to adopt a
correct and suitable decision in line with principles
in relations between the two countries.
He asked the
US Government not to take any decision which may prove
detrimental to the recent positive development in
Viet
Nam-US relations. - VNS

Below is a comment about a disabled Vietnam
Vet's ethics complaint against a New Jersey State Government Offical.
Having been a
pretty good "street cop" for 35 years this December, I read carefully what you sent me.
If I was involved
with this case and having the documentation that you and the courts have, I believe that I would approach a mid-ranking Officer
in the police service in your area and inquire about "perjury" investigations.
