Save Vietnam from China's Expansionism
Published by Long Pham on Aug 01, 2009
We demand China:
1. Stop all expansionist and unlawful acts of aggression in the East Sea.
2. Release immediately all detained Vietnamese fishermen and their boats and repay in full the costs for the damages to the boats and the values of the confiscated catches.
3. Stop building more dams on the Langcang Jiang. Pre-treat industrial discharge and preserve water quality in the Langcang Jiang in order to prevent the Mekong River from becoming an open sewer system for the Yunnan mining industrial giants.
4. Resolve land, islands, sea disputes with Vietnam through diplomacy and arbitration, not though acts of bullying of a nuclear-armed power. These acts only increase the instability not only in the East Sea but also the whole Southeast Asia which is in need of political stability for economic development.
We, the undersigned, the concerned Vietnamese worldwide are reacting to the events in the East Sea, in the highlands and China-Vietnam border areas with increasing concern and asking the support of the international community in our struggle to avoid being assimilated as what have happened in Xinjiang and Tibet. We are calling to the attention of the world of China’s current quiet invasion of Vietnam and pointing out China’s long-standing policy of annexation of Vietnam.
We are asking Human Rights organizations to look into the current abuses and killings of the unarmed Vietnamese fishermen by the Chinese naval forces, and vigorously demand China to respect basic human rights with regard to the Vietnamese fishermen they are detaining unlawfully and holding for ransoms.
