Chinese ships reach Vietnam to extract thousands of citizens after deadly attacks

This morning, there were two Chinese ships that arrived in Vietnam two collect Chinese citizens. These ships were sent to Vung Ang in Ha Tinh, a coastal province where some violence has occurredThis was due to deadly attacks which occurred in Vietnam last week. It is said that two Chinese citizens were killed by this violence and over 100 were injured.  The ships are going to be used to bring back a reported, 4,000 citizens and it is said that 3,000 have already been evacuated. This has increased a tension between Vietnam and Chinese, Vietnam has demanded that China back down and withdraw. China hasn't stopped and are still going in. Only time will tell where this issue ends up.
