Vietnam says China has attacked four of its ships near a controversial oil rig in the South China Sea, injuring three law enforcement officers.

The head of Vietnam's Fisheries Surveillance Department, Nguyen Ngoc Oai, told VOA's Vietnamese service that one of his surveillance vessels and three Vietnamese fishing boats were surrounded Wednesday by eight to 10 Chinese ships before being rammed and hit by water cannon fire.

"Those Chinese “fishing boats” are not fishing boats," he said. "They are designed for other purposes. "Those boats now are the main tool that the Chinese are using in their attempts to attack and to harass Vietnamese boats."

China has not yet responded to the Vietnamese allegations.

Well do something to me and call me a name!

You'd think that aftet fighting a glorious ginormous patriotic war together against the evil empire, Vietnam and Chine would be best buddies you know? Best Friends Forever and Ever!

Im more interested in just way Vietnam is moving away from China theres something im missing. See there economy is highly dependents on China. But im thinking Vietnam is tired of isolation and figure they can act tough with China to increase there standing with other asian countries? China isnt well liked in Asia and has a dispute with almost everyone in the region. This means China is truly trying to bully its neighbors or its just everyones scared of the power China is starting to gain and this upsets the smaller nations.

No one fears friendly power. They fear power that will be used against them. China is a bully, and always has been. They view non Chinese as an inferior species.

True but this is a significant change for Vietnam up to this point they looked at China as a protector. That view point is apparently drastically changing. But this makes me wonder why? Im assuming Vietnam feels a threat from China but something had to happen to cause their relations to deteriorate.

Sounds like America and neiborghs.
The bottom line is, nobody likes an imperialist.

Brace up,America started it, people thought they were the only ones left after the Soviet Union fell.

Now Russia wakes up again and China wants to join the game apparently. In China's case,i don't think they'll go to the big leagues, but Russia has unfinished business.Some people never learn,other don't want to learn,and other want everyone else to learn.

Because China had no power to intimidate Vietnam with. As soon as China gained the ability they immediately set out to use it against every other nation in the area.
