Tension in the South China Sea has been coming to ahead by China's policy to the SE Asian countries. They share the maritime region of nearly 4 millions square kilometres with more than 200 islets, almost all stay underwater at high tide. In attempt to trespass into Vietnamese water, a marine surveillance vessel of China is allegedly believed to be blocked by Vietnamese marine police. This incident is resulted in increasing conflict since May 26th when China's navy cut off cables from a Vietnamese survey ship in the South China Sea. At a distance within 200 nautical miles of Exclusive Economic Zone of Vietnam, the equipments of Vietnamese ships in order to conduct a seismic explosion survey were destroyed at the time. So many clashes in a row reveal a long-term maritime conflict between the two former Communism brothers in East Asia.
