A Vietnamese vessel has capsized after harassing and intentionally ramming a Chinese fishing boat in the South China Sea. The crew aboard the boat were rescued.
The clash happened near China’s Xisha Islands. Vietnam has sent a number of ships to obstruct the drilling of Chinese companies in the waters where the collision took place.
The Chinese side has taken measures to stop Vietnamese interference and lodged serious representations to the Vietnamese side, asking them to immediately stop the disruptive activities.
