It's very concerning that the US is abetting illegal fishing in foreign waters. Its like Vietnam hired a mafia boss to harass law enforcement authorities.

Hoang Sa (Paracel ) is Vietnam's Islands, China occupied illegally with force 1974. There is traditional fisherei area of Vietnamese fishermen. aggressors don't have right on our sea territory.

Hey HongWu remember what you've said?

Keep deluding yourself. Not even other ASEAN countries supported you when China opened fire on you a few weeks ago

Well, what do you have to say?

He is one of many thousands brave fishermen who risk his life asserting Vietnam's sovereignty of the Paracel Island by fishing and patrolling near the vicinity of the Paracel.

Last time I checked, he was "shot" at and ran back and cried about it.

Not that the US involvement are a bad thing, but I am reserved to this decision. My opinion is, with US involvement, it's only get more complicated.

First of all, no ship should be harassed by any government in the open sea. YES, EEZ is STILL INTERNATIONAL WATER. If you think it's your EEZ, you can board them and turn them around. NOTHING MORE.

Firing a flare and set fire to the ship in international water (AGAIN, EEZ is still international water) is the same as restricting freedom of passage. No country should be allowed to do this, be it Vietnam or China.

With US involvement, it only step up the chaos and increase the risk factor on the "Chance" that all gone wrong. Sure, we need those channel open but you cannot simply depend on the US to check on the PLAN. It's not gonna work.

What SCS need is some sort of Anti-Piracy gang like Gulf of Eden doing now. A multi-national anti-incident patrol. We probably need to see more of the action of Japan, Australia, India and New Zealand more than we need to see more action from the US.

Your so-called law enforcement authorities are just a pirate organisation.

Yeah...We need a big bully to stop another bully.

Thank God, in the future there won't be a single bully anymore. Many great powers and alliances will arise in various continents, which is good for all.
