On March 20, 2020, in response to a reporter's question asking about Vietnam's reaction to the posting of images of a Chinese map with the "nine-dash line" by some social media accounts registered under the name of Chinese representative agencies abroad, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang stated:

"Vietnam's stance on the East Sea issue is clear and consistent. Vietnam has sufficient legal basis and historical evidence to affirm its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, as well as its sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction over maritime zones determined in accordance with the provisions of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Accordingly, Vietnam does not recognize any maritime claims based on China's so-called "nine-dash line" in the East Sea"./.
