                  Vietnam Warns China Over Oil Rig Activities

   by Associated Press

   Vietnam says China has moved an oil rig into disputed waters in the
   South China Sea that could be a repeat of the 2014 standoff between the
   communist neighbors.

   Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said in a statement posted on
   the ministry's website late Tuesday that Vietnam had raised concerns
   with China over the movement of the Haiyang Shiyou oil rig and has
   demanded that China stop any drilling and remove the oil rig from the
   area where the two countries' continental shelves overlap.

   He says Vietnam wants to protect its legal rights and interests in the
   area in line with international law.

   The oil rig was at the center of a standoff between the countries in
   May 2014. The incident sparked deadly anti-China riots in Vietnam.
