Why do we have to resist the Chinese NOW?

If those who think you are a VC sympathizer because you are in communication with a VC official over the matter which transcends political affiliation, they are either not very bright or full of sophistry. Hoang Sa and Truong Sa belong to all Vietnamese, not just to the VC. In life, we do the right thing, and we don't care what gossip or mud evil-minded people throw at us. The dogs can bark, but the caravan moves on. Yes, please start with the old list and ask them if they care to join us in this fight.

Our backs are against the wall. What more evidence do we need to have to see that Vietnam is in acute danger of losing its sovereignty with each passing month: loss of islands, mining in the highlands, 50-year lease, loss of land at the border, loss of maritime rights in the Gulf of Tonkin, Chinese enclaves in Vietnam, 100,000 Chinese workers in Vietnam, selling of Vietnamese women to Chinese men (so that the children of such union are more likely to regard themselves as Chinese, or at least pro-Chinese), Mekong River issue, etc.... Every Vietnamese must ask himself a rhetorical question: Do we want to be like Tibet and Xinjiang? In 1949 the Red Chinese just marched in and took over the regions without encountering any resistance. But the population of those regions are small and they are isolated. Vietnam has 90 million people (including 3 million living in overseas) and it is not isolated. It occupies a strategic location and we will have friends and allies if we start resisting. We should not just roll over and play dead and let the Chinese walk into Vietnam and occupy our country just like that, especially after we spent years fighting the French and the Japanese. No, sir, we must fight and fight we must. We are Vietnamese, we are not a bunch of sissies and pushovers.

Now everybody should see that National Geographic Society is siding with the Chinese. It was not an inadvertent error, but an intentional declaration to the world on the part of NGS that HS Islands belong to China, especially now they use the Chinese name, instead of the standard Paracel Islands that have been around for centuries in international communication.
