Vietnamese fishing boat attacked by Chinese armed ships in Vietnam’s waters in the East Sea
by Vu Quoc Ngu, July 20, 2016
Vietnamese people across the nation are worried about China’s land reclamation and military equipment deployment in Vietnam-claimed Hoang Sa (Paracels) and Truong Sa (Spratlys) in the East Sea (South China Sea), said Nguyen Thien Nhan, president of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF).
Speaking at the opening session of the ongoing ten-day session of Vietnam’s legislative body National Assembly (NA) in Hanoi on July 20, Nhan, who is also member of the Politburo of the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam, said the Vietnamese voters are concerned over harassments of China’s authorities against Vietnamese fishermen when they are working in the country’s traditional fishing grounds in the East Sea.
The Chinese land reclamation and deployment of modern military equipment in the two Vietnamese archipelagos are serious violations of the Vietnamese sovereignty in the East Sea, and the government need to take urgent actions to cope with the Chinese expansionism, Nhan said in its report to the parliament.
China’s acts escalate tensions in the East Sea and threaten freedom of navigation and overflight, violating the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), he said.
The VFF urged the ruling communist party and the government to review the implementation of the party’s resolution on Vietnam’s sea strategy.
Along with enhancing defense capacity, Vietnam’s government needs to provide policies to support fishermen, Nhan said.
Nhan’s speech was made one week after the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled that China’s U-shaped line claim in the East Sea is illegal.
Vietnam has suffered most from the Chinese aggressive acts in the East Sea, however, Hanoi has yet to challenge Beijing to international courts because it prioritizes comprehensive strategic partnership with the giant communist nation.
Few days after the court released its final decision, Vietnamese activists tried to hold peaceful demonstrations to support the court’s ruling and demand China to step down in the East Sea. However, Vietnam’s security forces violently detained many anti-China activists for interrogation and harass others.
