According to international law,
Vietnam has sufficient historical and legal evidence to prove its sovereignty
over two archipelagoes of Paracels and Spratlys, asserting
that they are inseparable parts of Vietnam’s territory. Despite that fact,
China took advantage and used force, inconsistently with international law, to
invade all Paracels (then under the management of the southern Vietnam’s
authority) on January 19th 1974 and partly Spratlys on March 14th
1988 , creating a state of sovereignty dispute with Vietnam in the two
archipelagoes of Paracels and Spratlys.
Legally, Vietnam and the international community
have never recognized and will never recognize the China’s sovereignty over
Paracels and Spratlys which they used force occupy, seriously violating
international law. However, since China’s invasions of Vietnam’s Paracels and
Spratlys has been limitedly mentioned in the history of relations between
Vietnam and China as well as because of one-sided and deviated reports from
China, people in the two countries an over the world have not been able to get
correct information and insights about these events.
Blog eastsea-vietnam.blogspot.com is created by people who
respect the history, trust in international law, and believe that what belongs
to the sovereignty of Vietnam, sooner or later, will be returned to Vietnam,
because a part of Vietnamese territory is a part of the Vietnamese blood and
flesh. The editors aim to provide readers with rich, multi-dimensional and
objective information about the events happening in Paracels in 1974, and in
Spratlys in 1988, and about the issue of national sovereignty over waters and
islands, which will let the readers say themselves who’s wrong and who’s right
in this sovereignty dispute.
The editorial team’s knowledge as well as
ability of collecting and synthesizing is no doubt modest compared to the huge
data sources of historical evidence and legal base of Vietnam’s sovereignty
over the Paracels and Spratlys. Thus, we look forward to receiving
comments, analyzing articles from those who love the truth, in order that
the page eastsea-vietnam.blogspot.com will become a good provider
of objective and true information about Vietnam’s sovereignty over islands of
Paracels and Spratlys. All comments and posts, please send to: chuquyenbiendao@gmail.com
We wish the attention and support from our
readers!!
