“Vietnam’s communist government allowed thousands of citizens to protest in the nation’s biggest cities to denounce a Chinese oil rig placed in contested waters that has led to clashes between ships from the two countries.  Vietnam said Chinese boats rammed its vessels, fired water cannons and used low-flying aircraft in a confrontation over the rig close to the Paracel Islands that both countries claim. China the next day accused Vietnamese ships of provoking the clash by crashing into its boats.  The U.S. has criticized China for taking ‘provocative’ and ‘unilateral’ actions. Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that China had engaged in ‘dangerous conduct and intimidation.'”
