Great game in the South China Sea

Apr 17, 2012

On April 5, Russian energy giant Gazprom plunged into the maritime dispute between Vietnam and China with the announcement it would help state-owned PetroVietnam develop a lucrative off-shore energy field. By taking a major stake in the 5.2 and 5.3 blocks located in the Nam Con Son basin, Gazprom brings both exploration know-how and Russian political clout to the deal.

The entire Nam Con Son Basin lies within Vietnam's 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under international law.

Vietnam has done great job by bringing russian Gazprom company for exploration of Oil.

India supports vietnam strongly and should I say again stand of India on SCS: the SCS is property of whole world and not of a particular bully nation.

Anyone who invites the Zionist white men and some wannabes to our area is like inviting a wolf to a chicken den, hence betrays the brothers of this area.

Remember histories before it's too late.

US is meddling with China indirectly by assisting it's poodle, I----A, Poking it's nose in China's Affairs. Want to see China's revenge to this land of occupations next door and would love to see their rubbing of noses on Chinese orders in near future.

total sensationalism

Putin's Russia totally stands on China's side against USA -- period -- so the Russian company will not be drilling within China's 9 sectioned line. The Russians know they stand to gain nothing by making China react with overpowering force.

China bited Russian in the time Lin Biao. Russian know true face of China.

Its a clever move by Vietnam to give stake in oil blocks to Russians ... That will play its role in ensuring that the Vietnamese oil rigs would remain safe from evil intentions of China !!!!

Last night I was looking at the global fire power ranking of the strongest armed forces. It went from USA being No. 1 to Qatar being No. 55. Vietnam was not listed in top 55 as the strongest armed forces. Does anyone know the ranking of vietnam ?

China economic reach is world wide and now she's using Uncle Sam's money (From the interest income of her US bond portfolio) to invest in Uncle's backyards. The oil in SCS is not her priority because it's too expensive to develop.
