Anti-China protesters set more than a dozen factories on fire in Vietnam, state media said Wednesday, in an escalating backlash against Beijing´s deployment of an oil rig in contested waters.
Workers looted goods and attacked offices in a rare outburst of public unrest Tuesday in the communist nation, which allowed mass anti-China rallies around Vietnam at the weekend.
The protesters targeted manufacturing companies that are owned or managed by Chinese as well as Chinese workers in Binh Duong province, the Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park said in a statement.
There were no reports of casualties.
