The way analyst looks into the expo is seem to be heavy western. Though most of analysis is true. Vietnam is looking to expand cooperation with more country beside traditional partner. However, I think he also missed 1 key message of VN in the expo. Vietnam is catching up with military technology based on self reliance principal. New domestic weapon system has been showcase. Many company like IAI has declared they are willing to set up cooperation with Vietnam domestic manualfacture to develop new system. This is a proof for the will and capability of Vietnam to protect 🇻🇳 interest.
On the surface, Vietnam and China are at "comprehensive strategic partnership" level... And, China now uses it as a leverage trying to keep Vietnam in its sphere of influence at much as possible, by doing that, it sends countless of high-ranking officials to visit Vietnam to keep up pressure on Vietnam. One of China's tricks is to try to increase its cooperation with Vietnam in domain of defense production, or more on internal security (3+3) issues, party to party relationships, both share same ideology or concerns... Yet, China continues its aggressive posture and is willing to use force or threat to use force against Vietnam and others in South China Sea. So far, to cope with Chinese pressure, Vietnam just signaled its willingness to cooperate with China in areas such as medical supplies, education...but Vietnam never hinted it would work wirh China on weapons production or purchase any lethal weapons... Because border war or conflict at sea between China and Vietnam could break out anytime, and neither one is truly to fully trust the other. In onther word, Vietnam unlikely let it drawn into the orbits of China, or let itself falls into China's debt traps like Cambodia and other. Vietnam is more likely to cooperate with China economically and confront China militarily (if needed) at the same time. As for lethal weapons, Vietnam has a long history of using US weapons, such as C-130 transportation planes, Chinooks, Huey helicopters, A-37 ground attack, F4 jets, M113 armoured vehicles, M16 machine guns, M-79 grenade launchers and some amphibious ships...against the Polpot's Khmer Rouge in 1979 war ... Vietnam also used few operational abandoned US ships against China until 1989. In short, Vietnam did use many US weapons extensively. And it still maintains a good number of US artillery pieces ... and many types are still in service. The US brought the C130 planes, field artillery M777... to Vietnam Defence Expo 2024 recently to demonstrate that the US knows exactly what Vietnam wants and needs... By its own experience, Vietnam understands how effective and reliable US weapons. Of course, the war between Russia and Ukraine only makes Vietnam to speed up its own defence production and weapons acquisition and procurement from other reliable sources like the US, Japan, South Korea, Israel ... and many partners from the West rather than the untested China's hardware (no matter how cheap they are...). Vietnamese can easily use excuses that China has little to offers to the needs of Vietnam's defence... The bottom line is if the war happens between Vietnam and China again, Vietnam won't use the Chinese stuffs... As the example, the more pressure China applies on Philippines will only make Philippines closer to the US and more favourable to the US weapons. Of course, Vietnam watches and monitors the South China Sea situation very carefully...to make it next move.
Both sides need a neutral country, a place where they can sit down together, and that will be Vietnam. To secure this position, Vietnam spent most of the 20th century fighting and defeating great powers, gaining independence and earning their respect.
Gác lại quá khứ hướng tới tương lai bạn ạ, nếu nói phải hận thù thì VN đã có hàng trăm cuộc chiến lớn nhỏ với Trung Quốc từ cổ đại đến hiện đại, nếu phải hận thù thì Việt Nam mãi mắc kẹt trong quá khứ, chúng tôi không quên lịch sử, vì ông, cha chúng tôi đã phải hy sinh mạng sống của mình rất nhiều, nhưng thế hệ cha ông chúng tôi chiến đấu cũng bởi muốn con cháu sau này được sống trong hòa bình và có cuộc sống tốt đẹp hơn mà
@@phanphan1525 👌👌"...they wanted their future descendants to live in peace and have a good life. more beautiful..." Many people in Asia wants to live in peace and have a good life too. However one country is trying provoke a war in Asia to maintain its hegemony and we should be aware of that and not ended up like Ukraine.
@@lonewolf7992 Vietnam were not Ukraine and no country were like Russia. Look at Vietnam history before any country wants to start the war with us. 1000 years fighting with China, 3 times with Mongols, France, USA. All of them thought that they could make us surrender and all of them finally failed. If you want to be friend with us, we will be friendly with you. If you want to attack us, 100 millions of Vietnamese will fight to last breath to protect our country. Vietnamese spirit was proven in our 4000-years history. Remember that.
@lonewolf7992 you are talking about China? Because if war broke out I think you will see missiles flying inside China mainland, similar to Ukraine, yes?

Permission Vietnam have All analysis certification day
Vietnam has to choose between the US Israel or China, to be complicit or side with Asia 😂😂😂
If Vietnam does not choose, what can they do?
Việt nam không chọn giống như Ukraine .

Không chọn thì các quốc gia đấy làm gì Việt Nam?
You have no understanding of Vietnam’s history. Wars have taught them so much that they now just wanna have peace.
