Vietnam's Defense Minister, Gen. Phung Quang  Thanh, made the comment June 5 at the 10th Shangri-La Dialogue in  Singapore 5. Analysts put the price tag for the deal at just over $3  billion.The announcement comes in the wake of official protests lodged by Hanoi  over a May 26 incident when three Chinese vessels operated by the State  Oceanic Administration harassed the Binh Minh 02, a Vietnamese oil  exploration seismic survey vessel belonging to the Vietnam Oil and Gas  Group (PetroVietnam). One of the Chinese vessels cut the ship's survey  cable. The incident occurred within Vietnam's Exclusive Economic Zone.The incident causes "considerable concern on the maintenance of peace  and stability in the East Sea [South China Sea]," he said. Further,  Vietnam has "exercised patience in managing the incident with peaceful  means in accordance with the international laws and the principle of  determinedly protecting our national sovereignty."The incident  caused outrage in Vietnam, resulting in public protests at the Chinese  embassy and hacker attacks on Chinese government websites.</blockquote>
