China has evacuated more than 3,000 citizens from Vietnam
after anti-Chinese protests in Vietnam descended into deadly violence. The unrest
was provoked by disputed waters. Earlier this month, Chinese platform began
drilling for oil near the Paracel Islands, which are claimed by both countries.
Five Chinese ships will travel to Vietnam to help with the evacuation. Sixteen
critically injured Chinese citizens were flown out of Vietnam. Two Chinese
citizens were killed and more than 100 are injured. Vietnamese authorities have
arrested hundreds and are calling for protests to stop.
