Vietnam criticizes China over maritime incident

HANOI, Vietnam - Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga speaks during a press conference in Hanoi on May 29, 2011, criticizing China after Chinese patrol boats allegedly interfered with a Vietnamese oil and gas survey ship in the South China Sea.
