The first joint military exercise between China and Vietnam since 1979 is taking place in Guangxi! For such a military exercise, it should be beneficial. It can promote the exchange between the Chinese and Vietnamese armies, enhance mutual friendship, and eliminate mutual misunderstandings. Since 1979, there have been no joint exercises between the armies of the two countries. This is the first joint exercise after 46 years, which is also a breakthrough.
It should be noted that the economic ties between China and Vietnam are relatively deep, but military ties are almost nonexistent. This is the first military exercise, which is also an attempt. It is unknown whether the scale and intensity can be slightly increased in the future. Anyway, the countries in the South China Peninsula must maintain stability and gradually develop their economies. The Southeast Asian region combined with China will become the largest trading area in the world, which is the most important thing.
If countries constantly cause trouble for each other and lack trust, they will eventually end up in a state of oppression. The current improvement in Sino-Vietnamese relations is a positive and good sign.
The more friends you have, the easier the road becomes. The main opposing force now is the United States and Europe. Other countries can handle major issues as minor ones and minor issues as trivial ones. It's best not to spend too much energy on small countries, so there will be more trade and military exercises. In short, our country's main opponents are still the United States and Europe. To defeat these two major opponents, we must unite the surrounding smaller countries to form a unified market.
After building military trust, mutual economic trust will follow. Perhaps this is the purpose of this military exercise.
