HANOI—Vietnam deployed security forces and quelled renewed protests
against China on Sunday amid escalating tensions between the two nations
after a territorial dispute sparked anti-Chinese rioting across the
southeast Asian country.
The Chinese government chartered planes and
vessels as it evacuated more than 3,000 of its nationals in Vietnam,
China's Xinhua news agency reported Sunday, following riots in recent
days that left two Chinese dead
and more than 100 injured. Among those evacuated were 16 critically
injured Chinese as well as staff from the China 19th Metallurgical Corp.
who were building an iron and steel complex in Vietnam's Ha Tinh
Province, Xinhua said.
