The Taiwan holding live-fire exercises in the area Taiping Spratly Islands of Vietnam is a serious breach of the territorial sovereignty, threatening peace, safety, maritime security, making the situation in East Sea more stressful and complex.
Vietnam strongly protested and asked Taiwan to immediately stop such wrongdoing, no recurrence of similar actions."
