China refuses Vietnam's call to stop oil drilling Chris Brummitt, Associated Press 3 hours ago HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Vietnam demanded China stop oil drilling operations in a disputed patch of the South China Sea, saying on Monday that Beijing's decision to deploy a deep sea rig over the weekend was illegal. China dismissed the objections, saying the activity was being carried out in its territorial waters. The China Maritime Safety Administration posted a navigational warning on its website advising that the CNOOC 981 rig would be drilling in the South China Sea from May 4 to Aug. 15, in an area close to the Paracel Islands, which are controlled by China but Vietnam claims as its own. China's maritime administration also said that ships entering a 3-mile (4.8-kilometers) radius around the area are prohibited. Vietnam's foreign ministry said the area where the rig was stationed lay within Vietnam's exclusive economic zone and continental shelf as defined by the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Has China (and it's state sponsored mouth-pieces) shifted targets? They seem to have Hanoi in their "cross-hairs" now. Too early to say but perhaps the EDCA has indeed bought you some time.

Vietnam tries to stop China rig deployment HANOI, Vietnam—A Vietnamese government official said Vietnamese navy and coast guard vessels are trying to prevent a Chinese oil rig from establishing a fixed position in a disputed part of the South China Sea and that vessels from the two countries have collided. The official said no ammunition had been fired and there were no reports for injuries. The standoff Wednesday close to the Paracel Islands raises the possibility of skirmishes in one of Asia’s most volatile regions. Earlier two foreign diplomats said Vietnam dispatched up to 29 ships to the area near the oil rig when it became aware of China’s intentions on May 2.

Vietnamese Navy Confronts Chinese Ships in Oil Rig Dispute http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/08/world/asia/philippines-detains-crew-of-chinese-fishing-vessel.html?_r=0 By GERRY MULLANY and DAVID BARBOZAMAY 7, 2014 HONG KONG : Tensions in the South China Sea intensified Wednesday as Vietnamese naval vessels confronted Chinese ships that were working to place an oil rig off Vietnams coast, and Vietnamese officials claimed their had been a collision between the two nations ships.Vietnamese officials told The Associated Press that no shots were fired during the incident and there were no injuries. But the confrontation highlighted the hair-trigger tensions in the region as Asian nations try to contain Chinas more aggressive posture in pursuing maritime claims in the South China Sea.The confrontation occurred just days after the Chinese state oil company Cnooc stationed the rig 120 nautical miles off the coast of Vietnam, in waters claimed by China and Vietnam. The placement of the rig led to protests and demands by Vietnam that it be withdrawn, and the deployment of a Vietnamese naval flotilla to the area. |

This is going to be interesting. Vietnam has vowed not to fire first unless Chinese warships start shooting. |

Additional info:
Based on this report from Time, Vietnam's total of 29 ships are still outnumbered by the Chinese's vessels... now this is really very interesting... I believe, the outcome of this will affect PH... the world is watching... |

Here are the disputed waters where China parked a giant oil rig and harvested protected turtles Heather Timmons 3 hours ago ![]() China's increasingly aggressive claims over disputed territory in the South China Sea boiled over Wednesday, when ships from Vietnam and China collided about 140 miles off of the Vietnamese coastline, and a Chinese fishing boat was seized by Philippine authorities carrying hundreds of turtles.
