WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - China is carrying out
"coercive interference" in oil and gas activities in waters
claimed by Vietnam, the Pentagon said on Monday, accusing
Beijing of using bullying tactics.
"Recently, China resumed its coercive interference in
Vietnam's longstanding oil and gas activities in the South China
Sea," a Pentagon statement said.
"China will not win the trust of its neighbors nor the
respect of the international community by maintaining its
bullying tactics," the statement added.
