Vietnam is an ally of America today. In the 1970s they were alone because they just fought a brutal war with us. As for Scarborough the Chinese could not back down for fear of their domestic audience but they're going to have to leave that shoal. We just had a war game there a couple of months ago. They are trying to push to see what they can get.
I am not sure if you are playing devil advocate/defense of aggressive/bad behavior no matter what or not.
What? I shred your theory/statement of "without firing a single shot" so much that you did not dare to bring it up again?
While I am at it, let ask the people of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang how they feel about China attacked and took over their nations. How Tibet peole are so desperate that they have to burn themselves to death to bring attention to their suffering from the genocite of the Chinese government.
Also let visit the land border between China and Vietnam, where tens of thousands Chinese soldiers lay dead from the 1979 invasion of Vietnam - how old men and women of Vietnamese militia force beat back the whole Chinese army. Not a single shot, right?
Here is a map of the oil and gas that China is planning to do (directly from Chinese government) = http://en.cnooc.com.cn/data/upload/month_201206/blocke_u8aJay.jpg
Do tell us how far those location to the coast of Vietname and how far it is from China?
Now you tell me, is this acceptable to Vietnam/Phillipines or any nations on Earth? Yes or No.
As I said, please read a history book or two.
