"The [Vietnamese] doctor at a hospital in central Ha Tinh province said five Vietnamese workers and 16 other people described as Chinese were killed on Wednesday night in rioting * * * 'There were about a hundred people sent to the hospital last night. Many were Chinese.'

"Formosa Plastics Group, Taiwan's biggest investor in Vietnam, said its upcoming steel plant in Ha Tinh was set on fire after fighting between its Vietnamese and Chinese workers. One Chinese worker was killed and 90 others injured, it said in a statement in Taipei. It was not immediately clear if the casualties were among those admitted to the Ha Tinh hospital. The plant is expected to be Southeast Asia's largest steel making facility when it is completed in 2017.

"The brunt of the violence has been borne by Taiwanese firms, mistaken by the rioters as being owned by mainland Chinese.

(“The marauding crowds appeared to take their greatest toll on Taiwanese and South Korean factories. The few workers and guards who remained in the streets, where the acrid odor of burned plastic lingered early Thursday [May 15], said they assumed rioters were at first confused about the factories’ ownership. then got caught up in indiscrimate looting that rippled out from the show of anger at China”)

My comment: Not Reuters!

China Plays Cat and Mouse With Vietnam Coast Guard on Rig. Bloomberg, May 14, 2014

(“The Thanh Nien newspaper reported yesterday that China now has 86 vessels near the oil rig, including a submarine and a missile ship”)

There is no need to read the rest of the Bloomberg report. The English-language website of the Thanh Nien does not have the report, presumably in Vietnamese language, though.
