“Vietnam has repeatedly asserted firmly that Vietnam has sufficient historical evidence and legal basis to assert its sovereignty over the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.
Vietnam’s constant stance is to vigorously oppose the establishment of the so-called city of Tam Sa and related acts for having seriously violated the sovereignty of Vietnam.
This action has no value and is not recognized, it does not favor friendly relations between countries and complicates the situation in the South China Sea, the region and the world, ”said the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam. Nam Le Thi Thu Hang spoke at a press conference on October 15.
Tam Sa is a concept introduced by China on July 24, 2012, referring to a city in the East Sea that includes Xisha, Nansha, and Zhongsha, which China considers to belong to the country’s Hainan Province. this, and put the government on the island of Phu Lam (belonging to Hoang Sa of Vietnam).
In fact, this is how China blatantly claims sovereignty in the South China Sea, because these “Sanya cities” are the areas that China has illegally occupied and claimed.
Tay Sa is the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam, but it is illegally occupied by China. Nam Sa is the name Beijing calls the Spratlys of Vietnam, while Trung Sa is Macclesfield Beach.
In September, the Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) of the Center for International Strategic Studies (CSIS, USA) published an article on China’s activities in the so-called “Xisha”, in which Since 2012, there have been more than 400 Chinese companies operating here.
