China’s construction activities on Paracel Islands reef condemned
Vietnam’s foreign ministry has demanded that China stop its construction activities in the Paracel islands, saying they are a violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty. “China’s continuation of activities in the Hoang Sa [Paracel] Islands is a serious violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty, goes against the common perceptions of the two countries’ top leaders,” the ministry’s deputy spokesperson, Nguyen Phuong Tra, said at a regular press conference Thursday.
