South China Sea: Vietnam Extends Operation of Oil Rig on Vanguard Bank as Stand-off with Beijing Continues
South China Morning Post

26 July 2019

Vietnam has extended the work schedule of an oil rig on Vanguard Bank, showing no sign of backing down from a confrontation with Beijing over drilling operations in the South China Sea. Collin Koh, a research fellow at the RSIS, said the Hakuryu-5’s extended operations could be delayed by Chinese ships. But the most important signal Vietnam wants to send is that it’s not going to back down.
