More than
3,000 Chinese nationals have been evacuated from Vietnam as of Saturday
afternoon after the recent deadly anti-China riots, according to the Chinese
foreign ministry.
They
returned to China with the assistance of the Chinese Embassy to Vietnam, the
ministry said in a press release early Sunday morning.
Two Chinese
nationals were killed and more than 100 others injured in the violence as
protests over a South China Sea dispute spread from southern to central
Vietnam.
An iron and
steel complex in Vietnam's Ha Tinh province, invested by Taipei-based Formosa
Plastics Group, was badly hit in the attacks.
The China
19th Metallurgical Corporation (MCC19) is a contractor for construction of the
plant. Beijing is arranging for chartered plane and vessel to take back the
staff of MCC19, according to the ministry.
