Some hundred Vietnamese demonstrated in Hanoi on Sunday against China's moves to strengthen its claim on disputed islands in the South China Sea and its invitation to oil firms to bid for blocks in offshore areas that Vietnam claims as its territory. Hanoi has also denounced a move by China to change the administrative status of Sansha City as a way of enforcing its claims to several largely uninhabited islands, including the Paracels and Spratlys.

More than 200 protesters took to Hanoi's streets on Sunday in the second anti-China rally in the Vietnamese capital this month amid heightened territorial tensions over the South China Sea.
Demonstrators said they were stopped by security forces about 100 metres (330 feet) away from the Chinese embassy in the city, but no arrests were made in the latest public expression of discontent over Beijing's perceived aggression in the sea.
The crowd waved banners and chanted "Paracel -- Vietnam! Spratlys -- Vietnam!" during the peaceful rally, in reference to two potentially oil-rich island chains claimed by both Beijing and Hanoi.
Last Sunday, smaller demonstrations were held in both Hanoi and the southern economic metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City as the maritime dispute once again flared following 11 street rallies on the issue last year.
Protest is rare in the authoritarian country. The first rallies last year were allowed to go ahead without interference, but authorities clamped down on later gatherings, briefly detaining dozens of people after talks between Hanoi and Beijing.
Relations between Beijing and Hanoi have soured recently, with Vietnam attracting China's ire last month after it adopted a law that places the Spratlys under Hanoi's sovereignty.
For its part China in June said it had elevated the administrative status of what it calls the Nansha (Spratly) and Xisha (Paracel) islands from a county to a prefectural-level district.
China's state-backed China National Offshore Oil Corp. also said it was seeking bids for exploration of oil blocks in disputed waters -- a move slammed by Vietnam.
Beijing says it has sovereign rights to the whole South China Sea, believed to sit atop vast oil and gas deposits. The sea is also claimed in whole or part by Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Yeah right, can dumb ass combogian take vietnamese down.... how.. ? You shit dumb ass khmer never learn. China and vietnam took cambodia down for 3 yrs, almost 3 milion lives and then these 2 shared the benefits.
Bad Karma will find Vietnam soon.
This evil doer Vietnam will absorb the result of its evil acts.
My shit belongs to Cambodia, come and take as much as you like, Hahaha
hand off from Cambodia Right first.
i hope china nuke vietnam if a real war ever breaks out. and cambodia will look for way to reclaim our lands stole by vietnam, especially koh trals and some lands in the mekong river delta of khmer krom. china should teach vietnam a second more serious lesson not to steal and take advantage of cambodia again. you see, the illogical youn argument using their larger population to steal from cambodia, then china should do the same to vietnam because obviously vietnam if way smaller than china if you were to compare two countries based on size and population, you see my point! so, don't compare countries like that with cambodia, ok, because other countries can do the same to vietnam. if you don't want other country to steal from your country, etc, then treat and respect cambodia's rights as a nation, then we are fine, but don't come and steal from cambodia again because cambodia is not free for you to steal or claim or whatever you want; this is not the dark ages era, ok! just because vietnam can do it once, doesn't mean they can do it again, really. cambodia may be smaller and weaker, but i'm sure khmer people will fight to their death in any way we can, too. so, don't give me that size things, doesn't make it right, ok! well, my point is made!
Come to enjoy Khmer pussy then China will suck your mother's pussy island.

This is a case of fish in the sea. The biggest fish will swallowed the smaller fish. It's the nature of the beast.
7:30am, that's true in nature; however, for human, we are expected to think and use law that make us all different from the animals, unless you are youn/viet or siem, then you think like the animals. hey this is not the dark ages era, ok. plus, i think china, america, russia, france, british, israel should nuke vietnam and thailand for picking on cambodia all the time, you know.
viet and siem is nothing to the world, only pick on cambodia because we are their neighbor. shame on siem and youn for picking on cambodia all the time. i think china russia, america, france, british, israel should nuke thailand and vietnam back to the stone age for picking on cambodia, really!
well in life what goes around will come around. so be strong innocent khmer people because god knows your pain and suffering.
