HANOI/BEIJING - A Chinese research ship and its escort, which operated for nearly a month in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, left those waters on Monday night, vessel-tracking experts said,Chinese vessel Xiang Yang Hong 10 began sailing in Vietnam’s EEZ on May 7, at times flanked by a dozen ships, and regularly crossing gas and oil fields operated by Russian companies, according to vessel-tracking data.
Asked about the movements of the ships, China’s foreign ministry did not comment about the return to Hainan. Under international law, ships are allowed to sail through foreign EEZs, but unauthorised surveys are not permitted and China’s operations in the South China Sea have long been problematic for countries in the region, as Beijing claims most of the energy-rich sea, including foreign EEZs.
At 0300 GMT on Tuesday the Chinese research ship was seen approaching Hainan, said Mr Ray Powell, who leads Stanford University’s Project Myoushu on the South China Sea.
