Vietnam has accused China of attacking one of its ships, while China in response accused Vietnam of “gravely violating” its sovereignty in an escalating row over disputed waters in the South China Sea.
Tensions between China and its neighbors Vietnam and the Philippines have escalated in recent weeks amid anger over Chinese claims to the South China Sea and growing wariness over China’s naval power. China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan all claim territory in the South China Sea, which includes the disputed Spratly Islands, and is said hold deposits of oil and gas.
Hackers from both China and Vietnam have planted patriotic messages and pictures of national flags on thousands of websites, including government sites, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reports.
Vietnamese state media reported Friday that thousands of websites could be at risk because of attacks by Chinese hackers. Webmasters in Vietnam have been told to be on high alert, Tuoi Tre newspaper reported.
Accounts of the latest incident between Chinese and Vietnamese vessels in the South China Sea varied wildly between the two countries.
Hanoi said China used a fishing boat to intentionally ram cables from a Vietnamese ship conducting oil and gas surveys inside its exclusive economic zone, Reuters reports. It is the second time in two weeks that China has been accused of ramming a Vietnamese boat.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded late Thursday by condemning Vietnam for endangering the lives of Chinese fishermen, saying that the fishing boat’s net had become entangled in the cables.
"The Vietnamese ship put the lives and safety of the Chinese fishermen in serious danger," foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement.
Hong also accused Vietnam of violating China's claim on the Spratly island chain and nearby seas, which Vietnam also claims as its own.
"It must be pointed out that by conducting unlawful oil and gas surveys in seas around the Wan'an Bank of the Spratly archipelago and by driving out a Chinese fishing vessel, Vietnam has gravely violated China's sovereignty and maritime rights," Hong said.

If comes worst of the worst, yes, I'd sadly say that I'd welcome the Chinese province rather than the freaking stinky Vietnam.
Communist vietnam vietcong is a terrorist in Cambodia, Loa, and Myanmar.
VietNam Vietcong must change course to have a normal relationship with all its neighbors.
Communist vietNam vietcong has a history of invading its neighbor countries and claiming land illegally.
-VietCong is behind the grabbing
-Forced eviction
-Torture citizens and monks
-violate rights of citizens
-illegally occupy Cambodia through its puppet HunSin
-Vietcong ruining cambodia resource
illegal land grabbing

Why you Vietcong is so offended by the above comments? This is what happen when you touch Cambodia and you know that China is Cambodian big brother! ahahhahahhahah
You need to admit that you are just a fucken shrimp among whale! I will tell you that if you Vietcong want to resist the Chinese and the more you will assimilate with the Chinese because just take a look of what you have even your culture and custom and the way you dress.

China is good in murdering monks and Chinese people. They even helped in murdering 2 million Cambodian. Cambodian should learn from the past and not to stand on the wrong side of history.
