THE LEFTIST HANOI JANE HISTORICAL WANNA BE CAME TO LIGHT AS THE POTUS BHO VISIT THE HANOI AND THE HO CHI MINH CITY OF VIETNAM CLAIMING THAT THE COMMUNIST COUNTRY CAN NOW IMPORT MILITARY ARMS AS THE 41 YEAR OLD EMBARGO IS LIFTED TO COMBAT AGAINST THE CHINESE LAYING CLAIM TO ALL OF THE SOUTH SEA FROM TAIWAN TO THE PHILIPINES AND THE COAST OF VIETNAM

Competition between the United States and China over control of the South China Sea took center stage this week as President Obama opened up Vietnam to greater U.S. arms sales while China’s military intelligence chief met with a senior Russian general.

Obama announced that the United States is fully lifting a 41-year arms embargo against Vietnam, which has been locked in a dispute with China over control of the Paracel Islands.

The closer U.S.-Vietnam defense cooperation will include patrol boats and training for Vietnam’s coast guard that has been increasingly challenged in protecting Vietnamese fisherman by Chinese maritime law enforcement forces.

“Big nations should not bully smaller ones,” Obama said in an indirect reference to China’s maritime disputes in the region.

China’s Communist Party-controlled newspaper Global Times stated in an editorial that ending the arms embargo is part of a U.S. policy to contain China.

In Beijing on Tuesday, China’s most senior military intelligence official, Adm. Sun Jianguo, held talks with Russia’s deputy chief of the general staff, Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy. The meeting between the two military leaders highlights what analysts say is a growing anti-U.S. alliance between Moscow and Beijing.

The Pentagon had no immediate comment on what weapons will be offered to Vietnam, a communist state that defeated the United States in the Vietnam War after taking over South Vietnam in 1975.

Increased U.S. military aid as part of the Pentagon’s Asia maritime security initiative will total $425 million in military aid over five years. Hanoi will also be provided with 18 MetalShark 45-foot patrol boats.

The lifting of the arms embargo, which has been loosened twice in the past, will provide Vietnam with “greater access to the equipment you need to improve your security,” the president said.
