Please understand that I don't feel very informed about the topic but I'm genuinely curious about your opinion on the lasting bad relations between Vietnam and China.
From what I know, it all started with the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, which got China involved.
Do you think that this was generally a bad move on China's part (as we probably can all agree the Red Khmer were pretty shit) or did I miss anything?
And if so, what opinion do you have about the relations today? Are you discontent with Vietnam getting closer relations with the west or do you feel like it is China's fault for threatening Vietnamese self-control?
Edit: I just read that Cambodia started the war just so you know I know
- The Chinese exonym for Roman Empire, ๅคง็งฆ, seemed to be from the word โLatinโ, based on reconstructed Archaic Chinese pronunciation; which would set it apart from exonyms for Roman Empire in almost all other languages.
- Late Antiquity Chinese officials seemed to see Antioch, not Rome, as the centre of Roman Empire; while earlier Chinese officials seemed to see Alexandria and Roman Empire as synonymous.
- According to historical sources, around 100 CE, a group of Macedonian merchants visited China and Chinese officials mistook โMacedoniaโ as two different countries.
Is it correct to say that the Second Sino-Japanese War made up the Chinese theatre in WWII? I am just slightly confused because it has a separate name/"war." Thank you.
You can't trust the Americans on anything since they will do anything to get their way.
Trump has lost, but Trumpism has won.
Biden will eek out a meagre victory, and it's mainly because Wisconsin and Michigan were so hard hit by Covid-19 that even the MAGArmy couldn't beat the overwhelming tide of common sense and desire not to die.
Were it not for Covid-19, Trump would have won both states by huge margins, far larger margins than in 2016 before all his abject failures as President (no wall, defeat in trade war, Mexicans still alive). This proves that Trumpism is king.
From now on, every Republican candidate will run on a Trumpian platform of ultranationalism with anti-Chinaism as its flagship. I suspect that slogans like "Remember the Kung Flu!" or "Make China Pay!" will become rampant in the coming years. And this platform will likely lead them to victory.
The irony is that Trump the man was a terrible delivery vehicle for the ideas of Trumpism. Ivanka, Tucker Carlson, or even Donald Trump Jr. would have made better delivery vehicles. And when these people run, and win, they will lead the US into a decisive showdown with China, something that the war-shy Donald Trump was unwilling to do.

The other dimension of this election is the record high turnout. Conventional wisdom is that higher turnout favors Democrats because the Democratic base is just too lazy to turn out on most elections. This election has resoundingly disproven this myth.
It reinforces the idea that the MAGArmy is not some tiny 20% vocal minority, but that there's a good 45% of the country who are MAGA, and half of them are just quiet about the fact.
Im a lover of sino-soviet relations,I really wonder what Russian scholars think of this relationship.But I dont speak Russian. Thank you :)
Hello,
Does anyone have any advice on finding a post-doc opportunity that is related to Sino-Arab relations or even just foreign policy in the Middle East or East Asia? I have contacted most if not all professors/researchers in many countries that have a common interest, and I haven't had any luck. Any advice is appreciated!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_split
So I was just trying to get a basic understanding of this and the above link states that the Soviet Union pursued "peaceful coexistence with the Western world" while "China took a belligerent stance towards the West" then later states that "the rivalry facilitated Mao's realization of Sino-American rapprochement with the US President Richard Nixon's visit to China in 1972".
This seems contradictory to me. What am I failing to understand?
