At the beginning of May 2014,China illegally dispatched the rig as well as a large fleet of armedvessels, military ships and aircraft to Vietnam’s waters and positionedthe rig at 15 degrees 29 minutes 58 seconds north latitude and 111degrees 12 minutes 06 seconds east longitude. The location is 80 milesdeep into Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
Despite Vietnam’s protest, China expanded itsscale of operation and moved the rig to 15 degrees 33 minutes 36 secondsnorth latitude and 111 degrees 34 minutes 11 seconds east longitude, 60nautical miles deep inside Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusiveeconomic zone.
China’s armed vessels have aggressively andconsistently fired high-power water cannons at and intentionally rammedagainst Vietnamese public-service and civil ships, causing damage tomany boats and injuring many people on board.
On July 7, China deployed up to 110 ships of various types, includingfour military ships to defend the rig, and chase Vietnamese lawenforcement ships that were operating normally in their national waters.
These acts are perverse, infringing upon Vietnam’s sovereignty and international law.
