Vietnam has to find a way to protest while not escalating the conflict into a war. I think the way it's done is fine considering the situation. China doesn't like nations in SE Asia to take a stand against them but the geography will not change and we will have to live with an occasional protest from Beijing
Historical claims are someting for scholars. What counts on the ground is what number of troops, ships or airplanes you can deploy. Look on a map and see that Vietnam will always be faster in action than anyone else. The Chinese and others know very well that Vietnamese can fight. Therefore I see no big changes coming as reality on the ground is as it is.
