DTN News - VIETNAM DEFENSE NEWS: Vietnamese Protest China A Day Before Holding Live-Ammunition Drill In South China Sea....NSI News Source Info # 2067

(NSI News Source Info) HANOI, Vietnam - June 12, 2011: Hundreds of Vietnamese staged an anti-China protest Sunday for the second week in a row, a day ahead of the country's planned live ammunition naval drill amid a heated spat over territory in the South China Sea.
Waving Vietnamese flags and signs reading "Stop Violating Vietnam's Territory," a couple hundred demonstrators moved from the Chinese Embassy through the capital's streets surrounded by dozens of police and security forces. Hundreds more also protested in southern Ho Chi Minh City.

Protests are rare in Communist-run Vietnam and are typically quashed quickly by police.
