A number of countries have recently been causing trouble in the South China Sea.

On May 6, the Philippines illegally seized 11 Chinese fishermen and a boat in waters off China's Half Moon Shoal in the Nansha Islands.

Meanwhile, Vietnam continues to forcefully disrupt a Chinese company's normal drilling operations in the waters off China's Xisha Islands. In addition, enterprises in Vietnam invested by China and other countries have suffered from looting and arson.
