The world ocean is so vast, as long as men take strict precautions on their drilling for oil and gas, the damages will be local. After all men are just as entitled to the usage of ocean as the fishes and corals.

But never dare to put inside the disputed zone, or it will be the good target to test our new anti-ship missile

Covert action is the best remedy because it leaves no proof or evidence if done correctly. Thus, giving any nation suspected of it plausible denialibity. This is the route Vietnam should take for now, till you have reached a certain parity or asymmetry with China...Missiles, mines, cutting edge booby traps is what Vietnam should devote their resources to. Best to partner up with a friendly nation wink wink...haha

A country and her people that sneak around hurting others can never reach greatness, perhaps maybe in dreams.
