Looks like the Chink is definitely picking for a fight. They'll now evacuate all their citizens from Vietnam with the 5 ships and also to ask those to cross the border back to Ah Tiong land where possible. Thereafter, they'll insist on the current position of their rig. If Vietnam is to retaliate with firepower or any form of damage, the Chinks will then have every reason to hit them kao kao. Being the Chinks, this is amongst their well-known dirty tactics.
get real. Vietnam is doing all the provoking. in the first place, their state controlled papers widely reported the oil rig standoff which incited negative public sentiments against China. their mobsters pillaged and burnt foreign countries' factories and Hanoi was suspected of having a role in the unrest and facilitating the actions of the mobsters. Vietnam wants a fight with China who will not avoid it. the Vietnamese would regret their actions of antagonizing China.
