Bach Long Vi
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Senses: examples: text: Bach Long Vi, the Vietnamese-held island in the gulf, was given no consideration in the demarcation, and with the exception of a small sector surrounding Vietnamese offshore islands in the northern end of the gulf, Vietnamese claims were rejected.
ref: 2002, Henry J. Kenny, “Land Border and South China Sea Disputes”, in Shadow of the Dragon: Vietnam's Continuing Struggle with China and Its Implications for U.S. Foreign Policy, Brassey's, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 60-61:
text: The first approach mentioned above is certainly the one most preferred by Vietnam, because if it were applied, Bach Long Vi Island would extend the line of equidistance in Vietnam’s favor and would allocate an additional 1,700nm² of maritime zone to Vietnam.[…]
Bach Long Vi Island (Bai Long Wei Island) 50, 84
ref: 2005, Zou Keyuan, Law of the Sea in East Asia: Issues and prospects, Routledge, →ISBN, →OCLC, pages 84, 234:
text: Logically, Vietnam took the position that Bach Long Vi Island should be fully included in any agreement on how to divide the Gulf. On the other hand, China had an interest in minimizing the impact that the island would have on any agreed delimitation. This could be done by either arguing that Bach Long Vi was not an island in accordance with the provisions of UNCLOS or by arguing that its impact should be minimized and possibly even be disregarded.¹⁷ For China to argue that it was only a “rock” and so was incapable of generating EEZ and continental shelf claims would have been counterproductive, as China had earlier controlled the island and had claimed that the island was inhabited before it was handed-over to Vietnam in the late 1950s.¹⁸ An analysis of the agreed boundary line show that Bach Long Vi was given only a reduced effect on the course of the delimitation process. Bach Long Vi was eventually given rights over 15 nm from the island. In terms of division of the whole Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam obtained 53.23 percent while China obtained 46.77 percent.¹⁹

text: Newspaper readers will weep over the death of a pop idol through drugs; a politician will be praised for his ‘brave struggle’ against alcohol. In popular culture – films, books and television – we have come to expect our flawed heroes often to have an addiction problem as one of their flaws, a lonewolf cop bucking the rules and knocking back malt whisky while meditating on a case, a singer in rehab, a public figure making public penance.
Less favourably are seen the ‘scagheads’, the ‘junkies’, the street addicts, the working class addicts. Although victims all their lives of unequal and unjust social conditions, turning to drugs or drink or gambling to escape if only for a moment, it is they who are most harshly blamed and despised for their lack of responsibility – while those with a lifetime of advantages are treated with adulation and sympathy.
