Older Chinese officers remember a time, before the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 set relations back, when American and Chinese forces made common cause against the Soviet Union. BEIJING ? Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates met his Chinese counterpart, Liang Guanglie, in Vietnam on Monday for the first time since the two militaries suspended talks with each other last winter, calling for the two countries to prevent ?mistrust, miscalculations and mistakes.? His message seemed directed mainly at officers like Lt. Cmdr. Tony Cao of the Chinese Navy. Days before Mr. Gates arrived in Asia, Commander Cao was aboard a frigate in the Yellow Sea, conducting China?s first war games with the Australian Navy, exercises to which, he noted pointedly, the Americans were not invited. Nor are they likely to be, he told Australian journalists in slightly bent English, until ?the United States stops selling the weapons to Taiwan and stopping spying us with the air or the surface.?

The closing of fishing areas and the projected long-term damage to fisheries have caused many to worry. Many Vietnamese in these communities have fished for several generations, and the thought of job searching without proper English language skills makes the future seem bleak. Organizations such as Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corporation and Boat People SOS, Gulf Coast chapter, have come to the aid of Vietnamese communities by providing emergency funds. Mary Queen of Vietnam has also collaborated with Catholic Charities to provide mental health counseling for those in need. Boat People SOS has offered free legal counseling to those residents who have been offered contracts and other forms of compensation from BP.
