About a hundred people took to Hanoi's streets
on Sunday to protest against Beijing's perceived aggression in the South
China Sea, as territorial tensions grow between the communist
neighbours.
Demonstrators outside the Chinese embassy in Hanoi waved Vietnamese
flags and shouted "Down with China!", watched closely by security forces
who have launched crackdowns on a string of anti-China rallies in the
last year.
No arrests were made, according to protesters in the
capital, but activists at another protest in southern Ho Chi Minh City
were prevented from approaching the Chinese consulate, a witness said.
China
and Vietnam are locked in a long-standing territorial dispute over the
South China Sea, and frequently trade diplomatic barbs over oil
exploration, fishing rights and the Spratly and Paracel Islands, which
both countries claim.
The latest rallies come as Chinese State media on Sunday said the country had deployed four patrol ships to the Spratly islands.
Relations
between the communist neighbours have soured recently, with Vietnam
attracting China's ire last month after it adopted a law that places the
Spratlys under Hanoi's sovereignty.
A subsequent move by China's
state-backed China National Offshore Oil Corp. seeking bids for
exploration of oil blocks in disputed waters was slammed by Vietnam.
Surging
territorial tensions last year saw Vietnamese protesters take to the
streets 11 times -- a rare occurrence in the authoritarian country.
Authorities
allowed the first rallies to go ahead without interference, but clamped
down on later gatherings, briefly detaining dozens of people after
talks between Hanoi and Beijing.

Vietnam in 2012 is not like itself in 1974 (Internal civil war) and 1988 (Collapse of Soviet union). It's no cherries picking for China anymore. We're no pussies that are afraid of fighting. We are prepared to fight any aggressor, although we prefer peaceful dialogue better.
don't think Veit get any sympathy here. agrgressor, give me a break! the chinese has been very patient with you guys for far too long. you look chinese, you smell chinese and your taste is chinese. so why not be chinese, you don't seem to think highly of the Indianized cultures of the Cham or Khmer. so better start learning those chinese characters quickly......The old master is coming.
