November 30, 2024: Vietnam and China Coast Guards conduct second Joint Patrol for 2024
The Coast Guards of China and Vietnam confuted their second Joint Patrol for this Year of 2024 at the Gulf of Tonkin recently. Vietnam sent two Vessels during the Patrols which included Inspection and Monitoring of Fishing Vessels, sharing Information on Maritime Operating Regulations and conducting Talks on Search and Rescue Operations at Sea.
This just shows Vietnam’s Prudent and Pragmatic Approach in their Foreign Relations with China that they keep close Relations with them despite having Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea (SCS).

November 26, 2024: Chinese Military Academy Delegation visits Vietnam
A Delegation from the Chinese Academy of Military Science led by Major General Huang Wentao, the Director of the Academy's "Military Political Work Research Institute" recently visited the City of Hanoi in Vietnam recently where they were hosted by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA), Senior Lieutenant General Phung Si Tan.
Sr. Lt. Gen. Tan said that his Country always attaches great Importance to strengthening and developing the Friendly and Neighborly Relations with China, and that Defence Cooperation is a Key Focus for both Sides to develop extensively.
This is again just another Example of how Vietnam continues to have very close Relations with China, even with the Military of both Countries despite them having Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea (SCS).
This should also put some Cold Water on the hopes of the West to pull Vietnam away from China despite the Fact that Vietnam recently bought some Western Trainer Aircraft from the West, the T-6C Texan II. Vietnam probably did that because they were being pressured by the United States (US) to do so, since Vietnam has been getting a lot of Investments from US Companies despite their closeness to China.

The Vietnamese Company 3TI Progetti Asia is partnering with two Chinese Companies to build a Hydrogen Production Plant worth Usd 2 billion in the Province of Ninh Thuan. The Plant, which will have the capacity to produce of 400,000 tons of Hydrogen per Year, will be powered by a 1,000 MW Wind Power Plant and a 500 MW Solar Power Plant.
The Plant will also be built near a Seaport and will have an Area of 290 hectares. I don’t see any Company from the United States (US) investing something like this in the Philippines, as I keep saying the US is only concerned about WAR and protecting their own Interests. Those Power Plants would’ve been a bit help in helping lower the Philippines’ very high Power Costs, shaking my Head ...

Un-fakking-believable, can you imagine that, Trade between China and Vietnam is expected to hit USD 200 BILLION this Year of 2024. It was already at Usd 172 billion last Year of 2023.
In contrast, the Trade between our supposed “Ally”, the United States (US), and our Country the Philippines was at only Usd 22.3 billion in 2022. ‘Kaya laging KULELAT ang Bansa natin kahit sa Timog Silangang Asya man lang kasi kung ano-ano ang inaatupag kesa KAUNLARAN at PROGRESO ...’ (The Reason why our Country is a TAILENDER even in South East Asia only because we prioritize foolish Things instead of DEVELOPMENT and PROGRESS ...)
