Vietnam has accused Chinese law enforcement of a “brutal” attack on a Vietnamese fishing vessel in the disputed South China Sea on Sunday, September 29, adding that the crew’s lives were at risk. Bloomberg reported this with reference to Vietnam’s state newspaper Tien Phong.

Due to the incident, 10 crew members were injured, three of them sustained fractures. The Chinese seized about four tons of seafood, and also broke up and took equipment from the ship. Damage is estimated at $20,220.

“Vietnam is deeply concerned, outraged and strongly opposes the brutal treatment by Chinese law enforcement agencies against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in Vietnam’s Paracel islands,” the Vietnamese spokesman said. Foreign Ministry Pham Thu Hang.

Vietnam protested the incident in talks with the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi. The department demanded that China “fully respect Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Paracel islands, immediately conduct an investigation and inform Vietnam of the results, and not repeat such actions.”

China’s Foreign Ministry, without mentioning the incident, said on Tuesday that Vietnamese vessels were illegally fishing in the waters off the Paracel Islands without China’s permission and that Chinese authorities had taken action to stop them.


Vietnam has long been in dispute with China over parts of the South China Sea.

Let’s recall that at a meeting in New York, President Vladimir Zelensky called on Vietnam to join peace initiatives and discussed with the country’s leader To Lam ways to develop economic cooperation.
