China Evacuates 3000 Citizens From Vietnam Amid Protests (Video)
Following deadly riots stemming from a territorial dispute in the South China Sea, China has deployed five ships to Vietnam to evacuate its citizens.
In this Thursday, May 15, 2014 photo, China Coast Guard vessels sail in the waters claimed by China and Vietnam in the South China Sea. China's deployment of an oil rig off Vietnam's coast has prompted a tense sea standoff and touched off deadly anti-China rioting. The conflict pits two neighbors with very similar governments but whose people bear ill feelings rooted in a rivalry that dates back centuries and has occasionally burst out into armed conflict.
