Vietnam: Top-ranking General Le Duc Anh: If we frighten, we will lose sovereignty


"We have to take the country’s sovereignty as the top priority. At the same time, we have to live friendly with the people of all countries in the world.


The interests of all parties will be respected if all countries respect sovereignty and defend friendship with others.


For the East Sea disputes, we have to consider our sovereignty and the sovereignty of other countries in the region. We have to consult international law to keep our sovereignty.


If we respect international law but neighboring countries don’t, what should we do?


We have to negotiate with them before bringing disputes to the international court. We have to try our best to avoid armed conflicts, except for the case that we have to defend our sovereignty. Defending our sovereignty must be the top priority. Maintaining friendship with them is the second priority. In general, we have to keep peace and stability to develop. If we talk with them but they don’t listen to us and intentionally violate our sovereignty, we have to self defend to keep our sovereignty.


Small doesn’t mean weak. Compared to India or China, Vietnam is a small country.


Compared to the US and the European Union, Vietnam is also a small country.


But a small country that loses its home and sovereignty, it will have nothing to live."


And let's look at Japan. In Japan recently, a call that "Unifying with ASEAN to balance China" is increasingly dominating. Japan the country just show serious concern over PLA fleets' sailing across the so-called  "First Island Chain".

In India, PM Singh has just proposed to settle down the border issue with China, saying that Chinese troops' painting in the rocks in the disputed area is obviously an action of declaring its sovereignty. He said that India should seriously concern over this issue.



The separate events reflect a new and potentially volatile pattern. As the Chinese government and the fast-modernizing naval branch of the People’s Liberation Army extend the nation’s maritime reach, uneasy neighbors are tracking Chinese vessels, including military and surveillance boats, fisheries law enforcement ships and fishing skiffs, and pushing back hard over anything deemed aggressive.

Perhaps China is really facing a tough bordering situation, which is not the illusion but the reality. In fact this is the reasonable instinct reactions against China's "not yet really empowered rising stage".


Now that China's power is not yet that great to control all over the region, meanwhile it also feels reluctant to sacrifice the economy interests, which means probably the best timing for the neighboring countries to settle accounts with China over the bordering issues. Whether it is Southeastern Asian countries, or Japan, or India, it was until recently that these countries began to unify together in hope of settling down disputes.
