China’s deployment of oil rig HD - 981 and dozens of vessels of various types, including frigates and fast - attack missile crafts, into the continental shelf of Viet Nam can be regarded as an act of “neo - colonialism” invasion.

China’s decision to introduce an oil rig accompanied by numerous government vessels for the first time in waters disputed with Vietnam is provocative and raises tensions.

For A Peace World 7/7/14 21:52

This unilateral action appears to be part of a broader pattern of Chinese behaviour to advance its claims over disputed territory in a manner that undermines peace and stability in the region.

We are also very concerned about dangerous conduct and intimidation by vessels operating in this area.

Gentle Moon 7/7/14 21:54

We call on all parties to conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner, preserve freedom of navigation, exercise restraint, and address competing sovereignty claims peacefully and in accordance with international law.

Me Too! 7/7/14 21:55

The global economy and the regional economy is too important and too fragile to book the possibility of a crisis that could escalate into conflict.

Socialist Society 7/7/14 21:57

There should be no doubt that China bears full responsibility for this unilateral attempt to change the status quo.

These Chinese actions rest on territorial claims that have no basis in international law. In fact, China’s drilling is occurring squarely within Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone, as defined clearly under international law.

LawrenceSamuels 7/7/14 21:59

China’s recent movement of an oil drilling rig escorted by military and other ships into disputed waters in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam - and the subsequent aggressive tactics used by Chinese ships, including the ramming of Vietnamese ships - is deeply troubling. These actions threaten the free flow of global commerce in a vital region.

Such actions have showed that China is “determined” to change the status quo in the South China Sea, irrespective of criticisms in words and by actions from its neighboring countries as well as the international community.
