Vietnam launches special 'sovereignty' cruise to irk China
 [Rooters] Vietnam is offering scores of patriotic citizens the holiday of a lifetime with a cruise to some of Asia's most hotly contested islands, in a move likely to stoke its simmering dispute with Beijing over South China Sea sovereignty.In a special $800 promotion offer, 180 Vietnamese will get to see parts of the disputed Spratly archipelago later this month and take part in night fishing, visit a lighthouse and enjoy local seafood. The description reads like a brochure for a Caribbean holiday. "See 300 species of coral creating wonderful reefs in sparkling colors, in ravishing, fantastic beauty," it said. "Watch the sunrise over the ocean, and say goodbye to the sunset in the evening amid the immense sky and sea." Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2015-06-05 |
