China should give Vietnam a “lesson it deserves to get” if Hanoi ratchets up tension in the South China Sea, an aggressive editorial in state-run media said on Tuesday.

The editorial in the Global Times newspaper comes after Vietnam reacted furiously to a decision by Beijing to move a deep-water drilling rig into disputed waters for the first time.

Hanoi labelled the move “illegal” and demanded the rig withdraw from the area close to the Paracel islands, which are claimed by Vietnam but controlled by China, which calls them Xisha and took control of the whole group after a battle with the US-backed South Vietnamese regime in 1974, as US troops withdrew from Vietnam.

Beijing claims almost the whole of the South China Sea, which is believed could sit atop vast oil and gas deposits.

It frequently trades diplomatic barbs over oil exploration and fishing rights with its neighbours, including the Philippines and Vietnam.

“We believe Hanoi has no guts to attack China’s drilling platform directly,” said theGlobal Times, which has close links to the ruling Communist Party.

“If Vietnam takes further actions in Xisha, the level of China’s countermeasures must be elevated.

“China should evaluate whether Vietnam would stick its head out and become a more aggressive provocateur than the Philippines. If so, China should alter its Vietnam policy and give Hanoi a lesson it deserves to get.”

China and Vietnam fought a brief but bloody border war in 1979 which ended with Chinese forces withdrawing and both Hanoi and Beijing claiming victory.

The two countries also have a simmering territorial row over the Spratly Islands, another South China Sea chain of islets and reefs, where the Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia also have overlapping claims.

[Economic superpower]

Media talk is irrelevant. China is drilling for oil and Vietnam can't stop us. We have our coastguard there to protect our interests and our Navy if our coastguard needs help.

Media around the world can cry all it wants. China is now in Vietnamese EEZ and Vietnam can't do jack about it.

if you send military vessels into our EEZ, then you risk a confrontation (if not a war) with our navy.
don´t gamble too high!

 

[xunzi]

The Vietnamese are stupid. They have the option to do joint-exploration with us, yet they chose to wanting everything for themselves and sharing this with 3rd parties. Just dumb idiotic thinking!

 

[Economic superpower]

if you send military vessels into our EEZ, then you risk a confrontation with our navy.

And what is your Navy going to do?
As I said, we have our coastguard and Navy roaming around the SCS if needed.

 

[TaiShang]

Yes, if Vietnam wish to be "lessoned," lesson will be delivered. But we hope they will cooperate and talk to us. Maybe their government already start negotiating and I believe a solution will be crafted.

The rig is there to stay and explore. No way to take it back.

our coast guard are ready to fight until the last men

a man whose slave mind are asking " why don't they want to be a dog?"

I hope you understand my words:

if you ever dare to send military or coast guard vessels into our EEZ, then things will get quickly out of control.

The Vietnamese are stupid. They have the option to do joint-exploration with us, yet they chose to wanting everything for themselves and sharing this with 3rd parties. Just dumb idiotic thinking!

your logic sucks. can we dig for oil in the East China Sea within your EEZ?

where is the oil rig now?

if you want to start a war, PLS DO IT!

EEZ means shit if it overlaps with another country controlled territory, such as the case with Paracel archipelago. Now I know you will argue Paracel belongs to you and you love to claim we rob you. That is irrelevant. Speaking historically, Paracel is a place where fishermen stay temporarily from both China and Vietnam. Just from the logic and common sense alone, you can tell that is true. The island is closer to Hainan and the central coast of Vietnam. We are a navy power since Song dynasty. There is no reason we did not know about Paracel, especially we conquered Hainan during Han dynasty. At that time you are still a subject of Han.

Now whoever in control is not important because the island is not habitable unless someone develops it. Instead the resources can be shared which is the most important thing at the short term and we give you that option to share as long as you belong to China's ally. Remember we are willing to spend millions to help you with weapons and foods even when we were poor during war against imperialism and colonialism. This Paracel is good for strategic reason to prevent foreign power like USA hegemony in Asia. Unless you think a foreign power like the US deserves to reign supreme in Asia, then no reason to support them. Let us do the task of protecting Asia's natural resources.

so what should we do now?
Nothing? just watching how you violate our territories, loot our resources and humiliate Vietnam?

where is the oil rig now?

Thks for BOQ.

Negotiate bilateral with us on joint exploration. You certainly don't have the technology to drill ocean oil anyway so this is an opportunity for your country energy company to do joint-venture with us and we might share those technology with you if you are an ally.

Now let not talk about territorial violation because it means jack as I told you the area overlaps. Why do you think the USA and her neighbors can demarcated their marine boundary? They agree to share, yet the US controls and patrols the area. It is the US task because they play the bigger country role. That is the future as we are the more capable player and more powerful. The alternative option is you fight us but this option will only meant more blood and no guarantee you can defeat us. So what is the best option for the future? Joint-exploration on the resources and let us do patrolling task. When your navy increased capability, we can even do joint-patrol the area together like US/UK or UK/Canada.

we don't let chinaman steal our oil. kid.

go to recognize our water EZZ first.

I explained to your Viet buddy the best strategic approach to deal with dispute. If you are not willing to fight a naval war with us, then shut up and stop crying because nobody gives a shit. Territories and resources were won by guns. Nobody cares about moral right. We lost territories to stronger foreign powers with this same belief in the early 20th century. We will not make this same mistake again. We will fight whoever to the last blood if one dares touching our territories.
