Deputy Director-General of
the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs, Yi
Xianliang accused Vietnam of deploying many vessels, including military ships
to obstruct the normal operations of the oil rig Haiyang Shiyou- 981 and ram
Chinese ships.
He said that Vietnam
dropped obstacles and fishing nets into water, which impacted the safety of
Chinese vessels and their crews.
When asked why Chinese
vessels were damaged at the prow, which indicates that they hit Vietnamese
vessels, he blamed rough sea and said that the prow was the most vulnerable
part in case of collision.
Yi also said that China had
not sent any modern military ships to protect the oilrig, and if there was any,
they just passed by the area.
It was obvious that the
scenario had been set up when reporters from Chinese news agencies were invited
to raise questions, so that Yi could read the prepared answers.
He also said that his
nation hopes Vietnam will not bring the case to an international arbitration
court and that China wants to deal with the issue through bilateral
negotiations.
