Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) released more video on Friday (May 9), shot by the Vietnamese Coast Guard, that appears to show a series of collisions between Vietnamese and Chinese vessels in the South China Sea.
MOFA said the video had been shot on May 4th.
China accused Vietnam on Thursday (May 8) of intentionally colliding with its ships in the South China Sea, but called for talks to end a bitter row sparked by Beijing's parking of a giant oil rig in contested waters.
A senior foreign ministry official in Beijing demanded that Vietnam withdraw its ships after its southern neighbour asserted that Chinese vessels used water cannon and rammed eight of its vessels near the rig. Hanoi said two vessels were badly damaged and six people were wounded in the worst setback to ties between the two Communist nations in years.
China said the drilling operations were being carried out in its territory and it had acted with the "utmost restraint" in using water cannons in response to rammings it blamed on Vietnam.
China has parked about 80 ships around the rig, Vietnamese officials have said, adding that seven of them were military. Its foreign ministry has shown reporters what it said were video clips of Chinese ships hitting Vietnamese Seaguard vessels.
Vietnam formally protested over China's placement of the rig, saying it was 120 nautical miles from its coast and within its exclusive economic zone under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The convention gives countries the right to fish and tap oil and gas resources within such a zone, which must remain otherwise open to international shipping, including warships.
