China urged to stop illegal activities on Truong Sa
On October 6, a Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affair representative presented a diplomatic note to the China Embassy in Hanoi, opposing China’s illegal activities on Chu Thap (Stone Cross) of Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago.
In response to the wrongful act, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Hai Binh stated, "Vietnam has sufficient legal and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
China’s aforesaid act has seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and international law, running counter to the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) as well as the agreement on the basic principles guiding the settlement of sea-related issues between Vietnam and China, disrupting the status quo and complicating the situation, detrimental to regional peace and stability.”
"Vietnam resolutely opposes the above unlawful act and asks China to respect the sovereignty of Vietnam, strictly implement the DOC, immediately put an end to the construction that have broken the status quo in Truong Sa islands, and prevent similar occurrences, " Binh emphasized.

The Viets have the balls to claim the entirety of the SCS。
When the Chinese were plying the waters of the SCS，the Viets were still living up the trees with the elites among them doing their level best to learn Chinese characters the Hanzi。

Vietnam got the cheek to ask China stop activities? Look at southwest cay island, does it looks like a natural form island? Vietnam reclaim the island and build a big garrison and airfield on it.
Who start the provocation? It is typical biased western that never report of vietnams activities while only report China start reclaim of fiery reef.China never start any provocation. We only respond when someone decide to rock the boat first.
Now we will reclaim an island even bigger. Enough for Y-20 and big warship to along side. This is called any eye for an eye. Loser only cry foul when they can't outwit your opponent.
Islands belong to Vietnam from long time in the past. China stolen our Islands with force from 1956, 1974, 1988. This action is illegal.
where is the prof of you monkey lot stared to swim in the SCS? Jiaozi people, jiaozi my ar$e
study more kid.
The map in book printed in China in the past, your ancestors admitted there is Sea of Jiao Zhi people.

I wonder if the airstrips could support fighter aircraft.
Highly possible. The place looks like a good military outpost extending Chinese fighter range. Estimated to be 3km long,same as diego garcia. It will also help Chinese extend its reach to monitor Strait of Malacca without the need of aircraft carrier or air refuelling tanker. JH-7A and J-16/Su-30MKK2 shall have no problem reaching the malacca strait from that airfield, not to mention the H6K bomber.

I think the main challenge here is supply/maintenance. Keeping the airstrip in good shape isn't easy.

Feeling ashame of inferior vietnamese culture when I reveal of your inferior past? Trying to cook up some excuse/lies? I can understand how one feel when stumble upon your ancestry which is based on Han culture. The real han (Chinese culture) starts in North West China. Becos of frequent war, Half of the Hans moved south to escape war and we met a group of ape barbarian who speaks no language and wear nothing but a piece of leaf cover their private part. Then this group of Hans civilised these ape with Chopstick, language and culture and teach them to wear clothes. Today, they are vietnamese.
It's hilarious when Viets try to claim Chinese culture as their own. If it weren't for China, Viets would still be walking around naked, throwing bananas at each other. Viets should be grateful for Chinese civilization.
I can be sure, they will build a man made catchment for fresh water. Of cos a power generator will be up there for supplying the whole island needs. With good planning , it shall have no problem matching Diego Garcia.
I think now we finally understand China claim on spratly islands. It will be the first step of global power projection.

China can’t alter legitimate rights of Vietnam in East Sea
VietNamNet Bridge – China cannot change the legal rights of Vietnam over the exclusive economic zone (EEZ), affirmed experts at a two-day conference themed “East Sea: Cooperation for Regional Security and Development” held from November 17-18 in the central city of Danang.
![20141119154152-be-mac-qnki[1].jpg](https://defence.pk/attachments/20141119154152-be-mac-qnki-1-jpg.156841/ "20141119154152-be-mac-qnki[1].jpg")
The two-day conference is the continuance of efforts to exchange opinions and seek experts’ ideas for the East Sea issue.
In the second working session on November 18, the scholars analyzed factors affecting the East Sea situation in recent times, namely the changed schemes of some countries on strategic interests of the concerned parties, the increasing nationalism of claimants, the impact of competition between major powers and the disagreement in explanation and application of international law in the East Sea, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
In regard to the recent East Sea situation and policies of the concerned parties, many speakers argued that the increase in the number and operations of paramilitary forces and non-law enforcement forces in the Sea East is one of the causes of tensions in the region. Notably, China’s large-scale expansion on the reefs in the Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago is altering the status quo in the East Sea.
Dr. Hoang Viet, lecturer from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Law who is also a researcher on the East Sea said, "Many geographical entities and structures over the Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagoes are just reefs but China said that the islands have been inhabited, and it has the rights in the EEZ and continental shelf. If China succeeds in improving the reefs, it would have submersible aircraft carriers that enable it to reach the goal of controlling the East Sea.
As Taiwanese and Japanese scholars have forecast, China is likely to declare an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the Spratly islands and the East Sea.”
Dr Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, deputy dean of the International Law Department under the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam said islands can cover a full sea area while artificial islands only have safe waters within only maximum 500m.
According to Dr. James Charles Kraska from Stockton Center for the Study of International Law of the US Naval War College said although China has illegally occupied the Paracel islands, lodging an unjustifiable nine-dotted line claim, it can not change Vietnam’s legal rights over the EEZ.
The same day, the experts also debated the provisions of international law adjusting the regulations of territorial waters and airspace, claims in the East Sea, marine dispute resolution and measures to build confidence and prevent maritime conflicts.
East Sea conference wraps up
The sixth International Conference on East Sea with in-depth discussions seeking experts’ ideas for the East Sea issue concluded in the central city of Danang on November 18.
Themed “East Sea: Cooperation for Regional Security and Development,” the event saw nearly 40 speeches and garnered 80 opinions from academics and specialists from Vietnam, Southeast Asian countries, the US, China, Taiwan (China), the Republic of Korea, Australia, India, the UK, France, Italy and Belgium.
Participants raised a concern that the East Sea is becoming a strategic competitive space for world powers.
However, some held that the complicated situation in the East Sea would be a chance for ASEAN and its partners to boost their positive role in seeking solutions to the issue.
Many expressed their interest in Indonesian President J. Widodo’s initiative on a “maritime axis” that is expected to see Indonesia’s greater contribution to fostering cooperation at the sea.
Participants agreed that regional organisations, including the European Union, should share their experience on the prevention and management over territorial and maritime disputes in the region.
They also gave much space to clarify legal regulations applied to the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf as well as the rights of coastal states over the areas.
They underscored that all parties should refrain from conducting any unilateral actions that could change the status quo in the East Sea. They stressed the need to strictly abide by regional agreements, including the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC).
Participants also pointed to the need to encourage cooperation and speed up the building of a regional legal framework based on international law, which would help maintain peace, stability, maritime and aviation security, safety and freedom.
They proposed that a code of conduct should be built to ensure the implementation of international law in the East Sea, while specific recommendations should be made to clarify Article 5 of the DOC.
Common rules applied for all armed forces and law enforcement authorities at sea should also be specified, while a cooperation mechanism for non-traditional security issues should be set up, they suggested.
They also highlighted the importance of making the best use of information sharing channels, as well as promoting partnership in managing maritime natural resources and protecting and preserving the maritime environment.
During the two-day event, experts and academics also analysed factors affecting the East Sea issue and measures to build trust as well as preventive diplomacy.
Concluding the conference, Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy, President of the Vietnam Academy of Diplomacy proposed the participants continue researching on the issues to help all parties concerned clearly understand their legal obligations in the maintenance of the status quo in the East Sea.

That is a one side wishful and naive thinking from Vietnam. Not just becos you say so then it will be. The island in fiery cross reef will still continue to evolve even you Vietnamese can post 1000 of these talks and write some unjustify essay to back your claim.
Vietnam shall continue advance your economy to build up national strength instead of engaging these small islet skirmish that do vietnam economy no good. Give up the claim and cooperate with China to advance your economy, continue to improve the GDP and life of each individual Vietnamese.
Japan is one fine example of foolish nationalistic move. Influence by America, they provoke the giant dragon and thinking the US while at the same time will haste its economy recovery. End up the third quarter grow rate turn negative and the country is in verge of economy contraction.
The biggest winner is US who ruined Japan economy and sour the r/s of Sino - japan. But the giant dragon is too strong. Her economy will continue to grow strongly despite these small action.

It is not so simply. Islands and reefs in East Sea there is sea of us, our ancestor have been controlled officially from many hundred year ago, from Nguyễn warlord of Lê Dynasty, without trouble with China in the past.
This is our legal territory, we never give it up.
