By Huynh Trung Dung - Vietnam did not sign the joint statement on the Tribunal Award invalidating China’s claims on the South China Sea. Hanoi’s consistent "speak less, do more" approach combines public restraint with a range of quieter policy tools. https://t.co/P4QksEqAtF

"Maybe initially we were rather too naive in our approach to some cooperation partnerships," Merkel said in an interview. "These days we look more closely, and rightly so." You mean only now then you realized? https://t.co/v1eL5HimnG

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Philippines Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana on the phone today to discuss recent events in the South China Sea.

Clear proof that China will apply the CCG Law anywhere they want. Second Thomas (Ayungin) Shoal is a low-tide elevation that's part of the PH EEZ/continental shelf. There is no island/high-tide elevation anywhere near it.

Wrong, wrong wrong...
Nguyen Vietnam in first half of 19th century,
UK in 1870,
France over Spratlys in 1933,
China didn't claim Spratlys until 1948
(Please don't rely on Chas Freeman for South China Sea history.)

Clear and pointed statement here from @StateDept.

Campbell: “This is going to be a critical swing state…Even though we have different kinds of government, different overall values, I believe, fundamentally, the ability to work closely with Vietnam will be decisive for us going forward."

Australia, Japan, France and Germany express “serious concern” over the recent incident in Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal in the West PH Sea. Earlier, the US stood by PH and reaffirmed its commitment under the Mutual Defense Treaty

“Dear Clutterbuck...”
A classic of its type

[Bill Hayton @bill_hayton]

If you know about the history of the sovereignty disputes over the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea you may know of the 1890s dispute over the looting of shipwrecks in which Chinese officials allegedly denied any responsibility for the islands. Excited to see the documents!

“More fundamentally, Xi’s aggression was designed not only to grab territory; it was also a form of colonial-style gunboat diplomacy aimed at cutting India down to size and demonstrating China’s Asian supremacy. (If successful), it would make smaller Asian states fall in line.”
