Chinese ships were ‘invading’ Vietnamese waters: top defense official
Vietnam’s maritime security has seen “complicated” developments in the first few months this year with the penetration of many Chinese ships in Vietnamese waters, a top defense official said on Tuesday. Many Chinese fishing vessels accompanied by special forces were casting nets within Vietnamese waters, only 40 sea miles from Ly Son Island off Vietnam’s south central coast, said Senior Lieutenant General Le Chiem, Deputy Minister of National Defense.
