“Anti-China protests in Vietnam eased yesterday after the arrest of more than 1,400 demonstrators. There were no reports of fresh violence following the deadly wave of unrest that swept through 22 of Vietnam’s 63 provinces from Tuesday. It was triggered by China’s deployment of an oil rig in the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. More than 400 factories were damaged by mobs and the Chinese foreign ministry confirmed yesterday that two Chinese nationals had been killed. Many Chinese in Vietnam were still fearful for their safety yesterday as speculation mounted about another demonstration tomorrow.”
