Sino-Vietnamese Confrontations in South China Sea Escalate


Vietnam released footage on 7 May showing Chinese Coast Guard vessels ramming and using water cannons against Vietnam Coast Guard (VCG) vessels after the latter attempted to intercept a Chinese drilling rig that had moved into disputed waters in the South China Sea.

Rear Admiral Ngo Ngoc Thu, deputy commander of the VCG, showed reporters in Hanoi video footage of Chinese vessels obstructing Vietnamese ships and spraying them with water cannons.
