Bill Clinton nhận xét về những hành động hiếp đáp của Tàu cộng đối với chính quyền đương đại tại Việt Nam

Clinton spoke Friday in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou at a conference hosted by Pacific Construction Group, a private Chinese infrastructure builder that ranked this year as No. 166 on Fortune’s Global 500 list. (Fortune wrote about Pacific in its last issue.)

“If China and Japan are arguing over a couple of islands, the rest of the world can watch because we feel you’re arguing on more or less even terms,” Clinton said as a part of a Q&A with Pacific’s founder Yan Jiehe, after a question about the disputed Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands in the South China Sea.

“But it’s not necessarily the same for who has access to resources in the south and east China sea and where territorial boundaries should be marked.”

In response to a question about China’s rising world influence, Clinton focused on the South China Sea, where the country recently removed an oil rig from waters claimed by Vietnam only after anti-China riots in Ho Chi Minh city killed 2 Chinese nationals.

The problem, Clinton said, is China’s insistence on negotiating alone with smaller countries because it can use its size to intimidate smaller countries like Vietnam and the Philippines if other international voices aren’t at the table.

“The Chinese position is that it should resolve this bilaterally with other countries it disagrees with—and every one of them is much smaller,” he said. “Our position in the U.S. has been, `We don’t care what resolution is, but there should be a resolution … so that Vietnam, the Philippines, and other smaller countries aren’t overwhelmed by the size differential between themselves and China.’”
