Giới thiệu chung :The referendum in the UK closed with the winning of the leaving side. The new government of Prime Minister Theresa May also declared that the deadline for Brexit was the end Q1/2017.

After this “provocative” and “destabilizing the region” activity (said by the US and Japan), the incident was not resolved and limited within the sea as suggested by previous encounters.
