How about Your nation

say Vietnam is yours, and those people occupid your land already become another anti-China forece. We want out land back. Then you will tell me "Vietnam isssue is not about invadesion, it is about a right as a nation and sovereignty." Think more, where is China "Political" range instead of "culture" range. If I were a Japanese and use your theory, absolutely I will invade China. Like a civil war in east Asia, why I need to convince the other. But I am sorry, your smart boss know that he has to convince USA. Just you don't think so.
