China's oil rig move leaves Vietnam, others looking vulnerable Greg Torode and Charlie Zhu - Reuters HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's decision to park its biggest mobile oil rig 120 miles off the Vietnamese coast has exposed how vulnerable Hanoi, and other littoral states of the South China Sea, are to moves by the region's dominant power to assert its territorial claims. It is only Vietnam that contests China's expanding occupation of the Paracels. For years now Hanoi has tried to open talks with Beijing over China's moves on the islands, insisting that they are Vietnamese territory. Whenever the Vietnamese raise the issue, the Chinese say there is nothing to discuss because the Paracels are under Chinese occupation and sovereignty and not in dispute. Vietnamese diplomats say they will be pushing for support when regional leaders gather in Myanmar for a weekend summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). But analysts say there is no guarantee of long-term regional or international support for Vietnam, even as the U.S. slams China's "provocative" act and urges Sino-Vietnamese negotiations on sovereignty. Vietnam has a range of budding military relationships, including with the United States, but it has rejected formal alliances, unlike Japan and the Philippines, long-time Washington allies locked in their own worsening territorial disputes with China. "China does seem to have moved at the point of maximum vulnerability for Vietnam . There is a risk some other countries will simply say it is not their problem - The Paracels are not the Spratlys." - Carl Thayer, Australian Defense Force Academy Vietnamese officials have recently sought advice from international legal scholars about joining a United Nations arbitration case brought by the Philippines against China's claims in the South China Sea. But Vietnamese strategists have yet to show full trust in the international legal system. Reuters / Yahoo Edited by Hong Nam, May 9 2014, 01:24 PM.
