Vietnam Condemns Tourism in Paracel Islands

摘要

Vietnam has condemned what it says is a Chinese plan to develop tourism on the disputed Paracel archipelago. The Paracels would be included in China's plan to develop nearby Hainan Island into an international tourist site, Vietnamese foreign ministry spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga said in a statement on Jan 4. China announced its intention on Dec 31 last year, the ministry said. Nga demanded China immediately end the plan which "causes tension and further complicates the East Sea situation".
