Hanoi has again accused Beijing of violating its rights after three Chinese vessels stopped a local crew from fishing in the country’s exclusive economic zone in the disputed South China Sea on Saturday, Vietnamese media reported. The local fishing boat had been operating in an area 112 nautical miles off the coast of central Khanh Hoa province when it was chased away by the Chinese vessels, according to a report on Vietnamese news website VnExpress on Sunday.
