FROM: Vietnamese-Americans and Veterans of the Former Republic of Vietnam
of Northern California.
TO: - The People’s Republic of China’s Ambassador to the
U.S.A. (Consulate General in San Francisco)
- The Socialist Republic of Vietnam’s Ambassador to the
U.S.A. (Consulate General in San Francisco)
Ref: The demonstration of Vietnamese Americans and Veterans of the Former Republic of Vietnam of Northern California on Friday, June 10, 2011; aimed at:
FIRST: We protest against the People’s Republic of China’s barefaced occupation on Vietnam’s border throughout three decades now. The PRC blatantly deprived us of our Truong Sa and Hoang Sa islands, as well as making an unruly claim to their sovereignty in the Pacific Ocean, then dispatched their naval fleets to fire at and arrest Vietnamese fishers right in Vietnam’s own sea territories.
SECOND: We protest against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam’s government for their cowardice concession of land and sea territories to The PRC through several conferences regarding borders and territorial sea.
THIRD: We, Vietnamese Americans’ and Veterans of the Former Republic of Vietnam of Northern California, demonstrate serious concerns for Vietnam’s territorial integrity.
FOURTH: Both Communist countries, China and Vietnam, should remember that history has proved that every regime should have changed. Every unequal treaty has only been valued for a certain time, but the territorial integrity is always a right to its people. No matter where they live, at home or abroad, through every generation in the past, the Vietnamese have been determined to defend their territorial rights left by our ancestors.
FIFTH: We request the Chinese and Vietnamese Consuls at San Francisco to transfer this Letter of Protest to your Embassies in the U.S.A. and your Government in Beijing and Hanoi.
Sincerely Yours,
Vietnamese Americans and Veterans of the Former Republic of Vietnam of Northern California.
