US senators condemn China sinking Vietnamese fishing vessel

Four US senators have condemned China’s sinking of a Vietnam fishing vessel saying it is a flagrant violation of international law.

"I condemn in the strongest terms China’s sinking of a Vietnamese vessel in the South China Sea. This is a flagrant violation of international law and comes at a time when nations around the world are focused on combating the Covid-19 (pandemic)," Senator Cory Gardner, chairman of the East Asia, Pacific Subcommittee and International Cyber Security Policy of the U.S Senate, said in a statement on April 10.

Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch and Senators Bob Menendez and Ed Markey also expressed deep concern about the incident in a joint statement.

According to a Vietnamese newspaper, after the Chinese coast guard vessel capsized the fishing boat, they did not rescue the men. 5 fishermen clung to the bow for 2 hours until a Vietnamese vessel came to their rescue. The Chinese Foreign Ministry says they rescued the men.

Civilians Chinese boats/ships also take part in attacks and harassement of boats belonging to other countries.

China’s territorial claims extend far into the South China Sea, and it maintains a robust maritime presence that includes driving away non-Chinese fishing boats. Its coast guard performs most such actions, assisted by ships of the maritime militia — ostensibly civilian fishing boats that can swiftly be mobilized. There have been several previously reported incidents of Vietnamese fishing boats being attacked by Chinese vessels.

This is hilarious and no one can say shit about it in the south china sea..

Just take a look at the map! All the red zone is claimed by our beloved China

The South China sea is the only area that is outside of the international waters law. Example If your in vietnam and take your boat several kilometers deep into ocean you find yourself in Chinese waters not international waters as it's suppose to be

That green line that separate Malaysia is Indonesian territory. You can see Natuna Islands and Anambas Islands that are both belong to Indonesia.

That map should put Indonesian name on it

Chinese took revenge because Vietnam imposed a total ban on chinese travelers at very early stage.

Here the nationalist Chinese tabloid:
- Global Times -
“
When China was in arduous battle against COVID-19, Vietnam was one of the first countries to issue a blockade against China and suspended inbound and outbound air travel, and evacuated Vietnamese nationals from China, actions that were consistent with the US moves.

By doing so, Vietnam seemed to have carried out some epidemic prevention measures, but upon closer review, it aimed to trap China in an embarrassing situation.”

When did Vietnam start a total ban to Chinese traveler ?

Actually, I don't think it was a fishing boat. It might be an signal intelligence vessel for ECM purposes. Regardless of what happens, China doesn't have the rights to claim all of the region...

 

[prashantazazel]

Cheap act. How can they claim such a disproportionate amount of the sea?

Vietnam began January 23 to ban Wuhan, days later expanded to China. The chinese seemed not amused when Vietnam closed all roads, trains, air links to China, even evacuated all Vietnamese citizens from China.

Actually we began to put the screw on much earlier, on January 7, just one week after the virus outbreak in Wuhan.
