Disputes in the East Sea is happening between Vietnam and China. China has lowered the HD-981 drilling rig located in the territorial waters of Vietnam. Despite the opposition of many countries in the world, China still has increased the level of tension in the region. If China continues to infringe upon the territory illegally, risk of armed warfare is very high.
As members of the Vietnamese community in the U.S., we want the U.S. and President Barack Obama send the 7th Fleet to the East Sea. The America is a country which has great influence in the area. We believe that the presence of the 7th Fleet - US Navy in the East Sea can reduce the tensions, prevent the risk of war, and maintain the peace between Vietnam and China.
