China's coercive sovereignty over the Gulf of Tonkin has led to protests

China's claims to sovereignty over the North Sea in the Gulf of Tonkin have sparked protests, and Vietnam has called on China to respect international law.
According to a Voice of America report, on March 14, a spokesman for the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on China to respect international law and the rights and interests of other countries regarding maritime sovereignty.
At a regular press conference, a reporter asked the speaker to comment on China's announcement of the maritime boundary line in the northern Gulf of Tonkin in early March,
Earlier this month, China issued a statement regarding the territorial sea line in the northern Gulf of Tonkin, claiming that under China's Territorial Sea and Contiguous Areas Law passed in February 1992, it had established a set of lines connecting territorial waters and border points in the northern Gulf of Tonkin.
China announced at the time that it strictly adheres to its own laws, international laws and bilateral agreements between the two countries, and that China's territorial waters in the Gulf of Tonkin do not affect Vietnam's rights or interests of any third country.
A spokesperson for the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry responded to reporters' questions about the issue on Thursday, saying: "We believe that coastal states should follow the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea when measuring and demarcating maritime boundaries."
According to Reuters, although China and Vietnam have a serious dispute over sovereignty in the South China Sea, the two sides have maintained relatively peaceful relations in the Gulf of Tonkin. Not only did the two sides reach an agreement on the demarcation of the Gulf of Tonkin border in 2000, but Xi Jinping also agreed to conduct joint patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin during his visit to Vietnam in December last year.
