US-Vietnam nuclear talks heighten frictions with China

by Peter Symonds from World Socialist Web Site

This is utterly amazing even to my jaded mind. However, it does support my contention mentioned in the above article that the US ruling capitalist class remains obsessed about any rivals to its dominance in the world.
In a move that will further raise regional tensions, the US is conducting negotiations with Vietnam over a deal to allow the purchase of nuclear fuel, as well as American nuclear technology and reactors. The talks, details of which were leaked to the US media last week, are another sign that the Obama administration is engaged in an aggressive strategy of countering Chinese influence throughout the Asian region.
