2014年CRI 中方就中国在越企业遭严重暴力袭击提出严正抗议

 

The Chinese government has launched a formal protest against the recent violence in Vietnam against Chinese companies.

At least one Chinese national in Vietnam has been killed and more than 100 others injured amid the anti-China protests which have been taking place in several Vietnamese provinces this week.

The Chinese government is urging the Vietnamese side to immediately take effective measures to protect the safety of Chinese citizens and enterprises in Vietnam.

The protests come amid rising tensions over a territorial¹ dispute in the South China Sea.

The unrest began last week after Vietnamese ships attempted to disrupt a Chinese oil drill from entering the waters in around the Xisha Islands.

Ukrainian and Russian diplomats² have confirmed the next round of national talks on the future of Ukraine will take place in the region of Donetsk, one of the two regions which has announced a spit from Kiev this week.

At the same time, Russia has announced that Ukraine must pay in advance for Russian gas supplies starting from next month.

If not, Russia says it may stop sending gas into Ukraine.

Meanwhile European and US officials have agreed to impose more sanctions on Russia if it tries to disrupt this month's Presidential election in Ukraine.

The Chinese government is also offering its thoughts on the forthcoming election, saying China holds a just and objective position on the issue.
