Other Southeast Asian countries need to voice up with Vietnam in this matter. If countries don't join together to oppose this kind of unilateral action against China, in the future, China will also behave like this in other areas of the South China Sea. It is sad to see that CHina can take unilateral actions like this without ASEAN acting as a body to oppose it. It is time for ASEAN to do what it was meant to do.
China did this 11 times and didn't get a peep from Vietnam and others. Now suddenly everyone want to test China's patience and its mantra of Peaceful Ocean? Whatever happen to the 6 nation South China Sea cooperation pact? Everyone forgotten it?
No, the fishermen have always complained. Vietnamese fishermen have always made accusations of harsh Chinese treatments on the sea that does not belong to Chinese jurisdiction (by international law standard). Vietnamese people are making stronger protests this time because they are getting tired of this kind of unilateral action by China. Moreover, China continually calls for cooperation with its neighboros. Cooperation is not when one makes unilateral decisions without consulting others. Cooperation is not going around sinking other countries' boats and shooting their fishermen. If China wants to be true to its words it needs to stop this habit of making unilateral decisions without considering the rights and feelings of others. The protests are also stronger now because China is being increasingly aggressive. Increased aggression garners increased protests. It is a natural consequence.
The people of Vietnam need to come together and to boycott all Chinese's products. That will teach them a lesson. Remember, between 2007 and 2008 Vietnam imported 18+ Billions Dollar more than exported to that stinky Country.
All China's products Vietnam can buy them from other countries.
We need to boycotte all goods made in China. Their products are low in quality and much more expensive if we consider the product cost/its use. Moreover, they are more dangerous (contain unknown ingredients !!!)
I am allergic to all 'made in China'. It is a relieve to see 'made in any except Sino'. Where is the 'made in US'? We are so easy to let Chinese products passing our screening; it is Bush's policies, not ours. Politics and economy are always go together, but whether this relationship is going so far unusual?
Believe me, China will be our problem within 20 years. They are coming from a different culture!!!
What china done is unfair. Japan will stand up for the light and support Vietnam. But Vietnam have to be determine on their own right. Budda bless us
