Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews On May 13, dozens of Chinese and Taiwan enterprises were smashed, robbed, and lit ablaze by Vietnamese mobs. This incident made headline news at Chinese media outlets across the world, and Taiwanese television stations continuously keep tabs on the story. The Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs flew two commissioners to Vietnam to handle the crisis, meanwhile two charter flights were arranged to pick up Taiwanese businessmen in Ho Chi Minh City. Foreign Ministry spokesman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Mainland China expressed "serious concern regarding the event", but claimed there was no need to report the news about the Vietnam riot aimed at Chinese publicly, and Weibo users were even stifled from raising rescue donations. On May 13, around ten thousand Vietnamese people went on strike and paraded in an industrial zone of Binh Duong Province, south of Vietnam. The incident later erupted into a riot. Participants looted factories of Chinese brands. Early on, a few hundred demonstrators held placards which read, "The CCP: Quit from East Sea", "China Get Out of the South China Sea", and "Don't Steal Our Oil". Later, the number of demonstrators increased to ten thousand. From the south of Vietnam to the north, the riot spread to Ha Tinh Province in the middle of Vietnam, and further to Northern Hanoi. A total of four industrial zones were attacked. Song Than Industrial Zone of Binh Duong Province was hit the hardest, becoming a disaster zone. In a local bicycle manufacturing agglomeration area operated by Taiwanese investors, plants were torched. Stocked products were all stolen and warehouses were left empty. Around 1,100 Taiwan plants across Vietnam were forced to halt operations. According to the reports, Taiwan Foreign Ministry flew two commissioners to Vietnam to handle the crisis. Taiwan-based China Airlines replaced regular flights at Ho Chi Minh City with larger-size Boeing 747 flights in order to carry more Taiwanese businessmen. Two more charter flights were sent to Ho Chi Minh City to pick up Taiwanese businessmen. Taiwanese businessmen investing in Vietnam say the demonstrating workers were aiming to attack Chinese managers of foreign plants in the industrial zones. Many Japanese and South Korean plants employ Chinese managers, and they were all impacted as well. A doctor of one hospital of Ha Tinh Province said the mobs attacked the largest steel factory in Vietnam, resulting in 21 fatalities, 16 of which are believed to be Chinese citizens. Chinese people in Vietnam sent Weibo rescue messages asking for help. They phoned the consulate and Foreign Ministry, but were told to protect themselves. A netizen complained, "I have no return ticket to China, how can I protect myself?" He also appealed to the government to pay attention to the riot. But this Weibo message was deleted. Politics Professor Xia Ming at City University of New York: "First, the CCP government has no subjective desire to really protect the people, and second, they have no such capability and no emergency response measures in any aspect. In addition, the CCP government has too many troubles around the world and it's impossible to handle all of them." China Digital Times, an Internet research project executed by University of California Berkeley Campus disclosed that the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CCP ordered that all relevant news of the attacks on Chinese enterprises in Vietnam should not be reported and even news from overseas media should not be reprinted. Rigorous checks should be made, all relevant information messages and pictures deleted. The Vietnam riot has been in the headlines of global Chinese media since May 14. But there is no relevant news on Xinhua Network and the news channel of CCTV, according to our correspondent's investigation. When we rung them for confirmation, they also replied that they did not see any report and only obtained a piece of news from a Weibo message. China's major web portals published news about the Vietnam riots on May 15, but only reported that "more than 700 anti-China extremists in Vietnam were arrested" without mentioning the injuries or death tolls. Beijing political commentator Hua Po: "I have not seen the news, because if they hype up the news, then national sentiment might increase, so you should take strong measures to inform the government of Vietnam to take action towards protecting their people. Aren't you maintaining the friendly relationship with Associate of Southeast Asian Nations at the cost of sacrificing the interest of Chinese people? And even ignoring their lives and assets?" Xia Ming: "If the public opinion keeps up ongoing pressure, this will force the CCP to make a choice whether fighting 《神韵》2014世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
