EVENT DESCRIPTION

Vietnam has been wrangling with China and other neighbors for decades over rights to the islands, atolls and waters of the South China Sea and the valuable resources they contain. In the most recent confrontation, a Chinese coastguard ship collided with and sank a Vietnamese fishing boat last month.  Trang Ph?m Ng?c Minh, a recent Fulbright scholar in residence at USALI, explores the legal aspects of the conflict, including the impact of the 2016 ruling by an international tribunal in a claim brought by the Philippines against China. She will discuss how China’s recent actions have caused a shift in Vietnam’s diplomatic approach.
