The Vietnamese revolution had close ties with China. Ho Chi Minh described the mutual historical destiny between two nations as brothers plus comrades. Yet, bilateral relationship turned sour and deteriorated during the Cold War. The finger-pointing of the 1970s, and border conflicts of the 1980s contributed to serious tentions between the socialist Vietnam and China. The end of the Cold War, the normalization of bilateral relations, and the need of ideological support for Đổi Mới and direct investment, both Vietnam and China kept quiet on historical trauma. Ironically, as the regional security being relatively stable and economy kept growing, the Vietnamese society’s concern over China’s investment and its territorial waters claim soon escalated. The anti-China sentiment had risen rapidly. Vietnam’s new wave of nationalism in the past 20 years is a response to the challenge of legitimacy of the rule. This article intends to explain the Vietnamese government’s transformative patterns to handle anti-China demonstrations from repression to support, and its influence to bilateral relationship, based on th history, the development projects of bauxite in the Central Highlands, and HYSY-981 oil rig protests. The transformation of support and its impact on bilateral relations between Vietnam and China. |
