Vietnam ‘needs to face reality’
Print Edition
VIETNAM’S efforts to garner support over a territorial dispute in the South China Sea will fail, China said, a day after South East Asian leaders meeting for a regional summit in Myanmar refrained from criticizing Beijing.
Tensions rose in the resource-rich South China Sea last week after China positioned a giant oil rig in the Xisha Islands.
“The facts prove that Vietnam is trying to rope in other parties and put pressure on China, (but) will not achieve its aims,” China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said yesterday. “We hope that Vietnam can see the situation clearly, calmly face up to reality, and stop harassing the Chinese operations.”
China last week blamed the United States for stoking tensions in the South China Sea.
