I loved this comment:

“We once again urge the Vietnamese side to stop immediately all kinds of disruptive and damaging activities and avoid in particular dangerous actions on the sea,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters in Beijing.

So let me get this straight.. One Vietnamese fishing boat appears 17 miles from the drilling rig and is surrounded by 40 Chinese fishing vessels.. and the Vietnamese are engaging in "disruptive and damaging activities"?

Talk about over-reaction..

This is going to end in war, I fear.. and disruption across the S. China sea.. and quite possibly a good part of SE Asia.

But actually, I think the best solution is to declare the S. China Sea to be a shared resource and that a consortium of countries should form an entity for the purpose of exploiting those resources. Each country contributes a share and draws out a percentage..

Of course, China has the most money in which to invest in such an endeavor, so they would dominate such a corporate entity. Therefore, some limitations would have to be incorporated so no country holds a majority stake.
