China's drills complicate the situation, are not conducive to Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) talks, and jeopardize peace and security in the region.
The wrong depiction has caused wrath among Vietnamese netizens.
Vietnam said China’s claims go beyond the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The fact that Taiwan held live-fire drills around the Ba Binh islands of the Spratly archipelago of Vietnam is a serious violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty over this archipelago.
Vietnam has sufficient legal bases and historical evidence to affirm our sovereignty over the Spratly and Paracel islands in accordance with international law.
China's move at this moment might go unnoticed at a time when the world focuses on fighting the coronavirus.
In addition to some basic functions including updating the date and events, the Truong Sa calendar app also features pictures of the sea, island and continental shelf of Vietnam.
“Vietnam hopes that China contributes to boosting the two nations’ relations and maintaining peace, security and stability in the region.”
