It seems America might be helping Vietnam become a nuclear power.
The Hindu reports that China is protesting what might be an American “double standard”. A leading Chinese strategic expert on nuclear policy and disarmament told The Hindu that any move to allow Vietnam, which neighbors China, to enrich its own uranium would be “double standards” on the part of the U.S.…
This latest hot-button issue took off soon after the Wall Street Journal reported that the US was talking with Vietnam about sharing nuclear fuel and technologies that would include Vietnam enriching its own fuel, which is used in nuclear weapons.
Why would the U.S. play this dangerous game? The answer may be found from Margi Mason of the Associated Press. She writes that the U.S. has a “national interest” in seeing the claims resolved in the South China Sea.
So, what is in the national interest of the US to help Vietnam? The answer is oil and to keep our military close to China while gaining allies.
The US population needs the gasoline and diesel made from oil to drive to work and shop. The huge oil companies need to sell that oil, gasoline and diesel so they can pay wages to their employees while making profits. America’s national interest is everything to do with jobs and the economy.
However, China is not happy because what the US is doing in Vietnam is not in China’s national interest.
