Chinese ships ferrying evacuees home from Vietnamese port
The first of 4 Chinese ships set to ferry Chinese nationals out of central and southern Vietnam is on its way to Hainan.
The ship is carrying around a thousand people.
Another three ships with a capacity of around a thousand people each are also set to ferry Chinese nationals out of the country.
This comes amid the continuing violence against Chinese citizens in Vietnam amid the current dispute over a Chinese oil rig in the South China Sea.
A pair of charter flights carrying around 300 people has also arrived in Chengdu after taking off from Vietnam.
"It is great to come back. I feel steady and sure after coming back. At least, we are not afraid any more. It is good to come back home."
At least two Chinese nationals have been killed and more than 100 injured amid a spate of violent attacks against foreign companies in central and southern Vietnam.
The Chinese government is demanding Vietnamese authorities take steps to ensure the safety of all Chinese nationals and companies currently in Vietnam.
Chinese authorities have also dispatched a working group to Vietnam, and is suspending some of its plans for bilateral exchanges.
The violence broke out last week amid a dispute between China and Vietnam over an oil rig being set up around the Xisha Islands, in an area in the South China Sea claimed by both countries.
