  • The Vietnamese government,protesting the deployment of an oil rig by China off the contested Paracel Islands(South China Sea), accused the 40 Chinese fishing boats of ramming their vessel causing it to sink.
  • China denied it & accused Vietnamese fishing boats of having “harassed and collided” with Chinese vessels.
  • China even accused Vietnam ships of disrupting its oil rig off the Paracel Islands, which Beijing claims.
