China has been worrying its neighbours by making tiny islands in the South China Sea . China says its work is legal and needed to safeguard its sovereignty.
It has sparked tit-for-tat warnings between itself and Vietnam. China said, “We will never allow any country to violate China’s territorial waters and airspace in the South China sea.” The sea is also a major shipping route.
China has violated Hanoi’s sovereignty by constructing two light houses, said Vietnam.
