On March 7, because the Chinese Communist Party recently implemented military training in the South China Sea, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in response, asking the Chinese Communist Party to respect and not violate Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, and not to take actions that complicate the situation.

According to the Liberty Times, a recent statement from the Hainan Maritime Bureau of the CCP pointed out that military training was being conducted from 6 p.m. on the 4th to 6 p.m. on the 15th, warning that vessels were prohibited from entering, and providing coordinates of the waters in question, located approximately between Sanya, Hainan and Hue, Vietnam.

In response, Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Thi Thu Hang said on the 7th that some of the waters involved in the above announcement by the CCP belong to Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf as determined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Le Thi Thu Hang said the Vietnamese side demanded that Communist China respect and not violate Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf and refrain from acts that would complicate the situation.
