I guess it's about time we had a Chinese ethnomaniac telling us that

You mean Isidore Dyen is not a linguist?

-- Ekki

Which of your views does Isidore Dyen share?

Anyhow, it's not clear what your views are in the present discussion.
You claimed to have posted a lot about Vietnamese and Mon-Khmer, but
didn't explain what ideas you have about that. Apparently your
statement that Vietnamese was "not exactly a Chinese dialect" was
sarcasm or something. Then there was portentous talk about Chinese
people learning their "true history" instead of "lies". What's the
"true history"? What "lies"?
