Vietnamese border authorities recently detained more than 100 Chinese migrant workers who were being smuggled over to Vietnam from Guangxi, an autonomous region in southern China, bordering Vietnam. Meanwhile, netizens claim that Beijing is building a wall along the China-Vietnam border to prevent the illegal smuggling of migrant workers.
