CHINA warned Vietnam yesterday against creating "new incidents" in the South China Sea, after Vietnam said a Vietnamese oil exploration ship was harassed by three Chinese patrol boats.
The Vietnamese ship, the Binh Minh 02, detected the Chinese patrol boats approaching on radar early last Thursday, the official Vietnam News Agency reported. About an hour later, the three Chinese boats ran through the area where the Vietnamese ship was working, it said.
China's Foreign Ministry defended the action of the Chinese boats. "The enforcement activities that China's maritime ships undertook with the illegally operated Vietnamese ships are completely justified," ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular briefing in Beijing. "We urge the Vietnamese side to immediately stop their activities from infringing on our sovereignty and refrain from creating new incidents."
