Vietnamese protest against Chinaâs deployment of an oil rig in the disputed South China Sea Saturday infront of the Chinese Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on Saturday, 10 May 2014. The government in Hanoi has sent ships to confront the rig, which it say is in its territory. Chinese ships have been ramming into and firing water cannons at Vietnamese vessels trying to stop Beijing from putting an oil rig in the South China Sea, according to officials and video footage Wednesday, in a dangerous escalation of tensions over waters considered a global flashpoint. The tensions triggered by the Chinese deployment are some of the most acute in years between the two countries. (AP Photo)
