South China Sea: Paracels @ Spartlys - Sino & Vietnamese conflict

Does anyone has information regarding the Chinese Naval Exercise recently in the Paracels @ Spartlus Islands vicinity? Also, I've heard that China is annexing Paracels and Spartlys to be a district of Hai Nam province, and Vietnam is protesting strongly.

Thanks.

They have claims over the area, but no one has annexed anything. As for the exercises, check among the thread topics. Its the one held near Thanksgiving.

Thanks Crabato, but I can't find the thread topics. Would you please be more specific?

If you can't find it yourself, I am not going to look it for you. This is my last reply on this matter.

Re: China plan small space shutter within 3 year.

"The dispute on Spratly and Paracel islands in the South East Asia Sea (East Vietnam Sea, or South China Sea) is the hot point that can cause war in Asia.

As American and Russian military powers in South East Asia are reduced, now China has the sole sea-force power in this region. They want to take control these islands, to get the oil from that area. More important, reaching Spratlys allows China to control all sea routes from the West to the East, from the North to the South, because those islands are close to the Strait of Malacca (the main ship passageway between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean).

And China seems to use army power to take over those islands. China have no evidence of sovereignty at those islands. Paracels are properties of Vietnam, and Spratlys are of several ASEAN countries."

I think you got in wrong thread.

15 Jun 1956 North Vietnam declares that the Xisha(Paracel) and Nansha
(Spratly) Islands are historically Chinese territories.



China is the first country to claimed the island in 1885.French Stole it from CHina in 1887 and China protested against that.
