CHINA yesterday accused Vietnam of intentionally colliding with its ships in the South China Sea, but called for talks to end a bitter row over a Chinese oil rig.


A senior foreign ministry official in Beijing demanded Vietnam withdraw its ships after its southern neighbor said Chinese vessels used water cannon and rammed eight of its vessels at the weekend near the rig.


China said the drilling operations were being carried out in its territory and it had acted with the “utmost restraint” in using water cannons in response to rammings it blamed on Vietnam.


“It’s the Vietnamese vessels that are provoking this issue. It’s the Vietnamese vessels that are ramming into Chinese vessels,” said Yi Xianliang, deputy director general of the foreign ministry’s department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs.


Yi said China’s operations in the waters were “completely legal, legitimate and justified” because the waters were China’s inherent territory.


He said Vietnam had within five days dispatched 35 vessels that had rammed Chinese ships 171 times. He said the Vietnamese ships included armed vessels, but on the Chinese side there were only civilian or non-armed government vessels.


Yi said China stood ready to discuss the issue with Vietnam Adidas Superstar Slip On Trainer Negras España , “but the precondition is that Vietnam must put an end to the disruption of Chinese operations and must remove its vessel and personnel at the scene.


“Our aim, our only aim, is to guarantee our reasonable, legal, normal drilling operations,” Yi said Adidas Superstar Slip On Trainer Blancas España , adding that China had no choice but to increase its security measures in response to Vietnam’s provocations.


Ngo Ngoc Thu, deputy commander of the Vietnamese coast guard, said the situation remained tense but there had been no contact yesterday.


“The two sides are still shadow boxing with each other,” he said. Hanoi has hinted at international legal action and said it had requested dialogue with China’s leadership, but was awaiting a response.


The row with its neighbor sent Vietnam’s stocks markets plummeting.


The benchmark VN Index in Ho Chi Minh City closed down 5.9 percent, its biggest one-day fall in nearly 13 years Adidas Mujer Superstar Slip On W Negras Blancas España , while the smaller Hanoi bourse dropped 6.4 percent, its biggest slump since May 2010.


Tensions are also brewing in another part of the sea, with China demanding that the Philippines release a Chinese fishing boat and its crew that were seized on Tuesday off Half Moon Shoal in the Nansha Islands.


Philippine police said the boat and its crew were seized for hunting sea turtles, which are protected under local laws.

TEHRAN, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Iranian university students with the help of the municipality of capital Tehran have set up "wall of kindness" on the streets to offer warm clothes to the homeless in the cold season.


The charity walls installed in public areas have been painted in the bright colors, with the added row of hooks on them Adidas Mujer Superstar Slip On W Rosa España , calling on the passers-by to donate garments to the people in need, if they do not need them for themselves.


"Wall of Kindness": "If you don't need it, leave it" and "if you need it, take it", these are the verbal messages of the organizers of the charity that appear on the painted walls.


On the wall of kindness across from the Danshjou Park on Tehran's ValiAsr junction, two pairs of second hand trousers Adidas Superstar Negras B35436 España , a women bag with a jacket are hung on the hooks awaiting to be picked by some needy people.


"The idea to set up the walls was developed in September, and according to the preliminary plan, it was arranged to be held in one location in the underground cultural center of ValiAsr junction, but because people showed an interest in this move, it was planned to be held in different parts of the city" by setting up walls, Miss Sara Fallah Adidas Superstar 2 Negras G14748 España , Tehran's Shariati University student, told Xinhua.


"Since every society is in need of promoting the culture of kindness and generosity, the idea of carrying out the project in city space and the public areas occurred in our mind and we wanted to show that with just little resources we can do great jobs," Fallah said.


"Therefore, a number of walls in different parts of Tehran were selected for this project which is currently underway," she said Adidas Superstar Foundation Negras B27140 España , adding that ValiAsr street opposite Daneshjou Park, Vali Asr street opposite Fatemi street, and Azadi street between Navab and Roudaki junctions, are three major stations to offer volunteer charity.


The initiative was basically developed by the Students Association of Zamyaran, literally meaning the "friends of earth", and was set into motion after the coordination with Tehran municipality.


To make the idea across and to inform the society of the trend Adidas Superstar Foundation Negras Blancas B23642 España , the students' network of Zamyaran has used the virtual space and the space of universities in Tehran.


Besides offering donations, ordinary people and passers-by have, in a number of other ways, helped the implementation of the project.


Fallah, also a volunteer member of Zamyaran, said "We have not used the governmental facilities in our project Mujer Adidas Superstar Lotus Print Dust Rosa Print Blancas B35832 España , but we received the license and support of municipality and much help from ordinary people."


"While installing and painting the walls, people, who were passing by, lent hands to the Zamyaran members and the municipality workers. We have also taken advantage of some dry-cleaners' help to wash and pack the clothes to be distributed to the poor," Fallah added.


The widespread use of social media network has attracted the global attention to the move by the Iranian benefactors. The pu.
