The country once again rejects the so-called “Sansha” city and demands China to end violations of its sovereignty, and take no action to hinder the legal fishing activities of Vietnamese fishing boats and fishermen, the official said.
China recently approved the establishment of the “Sansha” radio-television and the “Sansha” satellite television stations and dispatched a China Marine Surveillance (CMS) detachment to patrol Vietnam’s Hoang Sa archipelago.
It also drove away the two Vietnamese fishing boats which were conducting legal fishing activities in the area.
In the latest move, China sent a Fishery Resource and Environmental Science Survey Ship, Nan Feng, to the waters of Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago to investigate the area’s fishery resources.
The above-mentioned activities have violated Vietnam’s sovereignty, the representative emphasized.
