Within the bay, joint patrols has successfully ensured that vessels from both sides would not cross the line into other side (except for joint fishing zone). Area outside that zone seem to be considered contested water and Chinese vessels are "free" to roam anywhere and do whatever they think appropriate.
This kind of incident gives a clearer message about what China wants in SCS, particular in Vietnam case: "Guaranteed to get half or may lose everything".
