Nothing an international arbitration court can't solve. There was a similar legal conflict between Romania and Ukraine regarding the Black Sea plateau which was legally solved by the ICJ a decade ago.
Vietnam should bring the case to court and employ some good negotiators. It's the only potentially constructive strategy for them, as outmuscling China is out of the question. If China won't respect the court's decision, the international community can then condemn them, issue tariffs and sanctions and Vietnam could legally fire warning shots and sink their coast guard vessles entering its EEZ.
