China and Vietnam have agreed to maintained peace and stability in the south china sea and not take any acts that "complicate" the issue, Chinese state television reported yesterday. The agreement came at the end of a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Vietnam. The two communist-led states both have competing claims in the South China Sea, which came to a head last year with Beijing's parking of an oil rig in waters off the Vietnamese coast, leading to anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam.
