HANOI - "At the request of Chinese Embassy to Vietnam and Chinese contractors, Vietnam's relevant organizations have created favorable and kind conditions for China to bring their workers home," said Truong Minh Tuan, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Information and Communications on Monday.

According to Tuan, "those workers who are injured were already taken home by air while a number of others are traveling by sea on Monday."
After a pitiful incident in an iron and steel complex in Vietnam's central Ha Tinh province, invested by Taipei-based Formosa Plastics Group, local authorities and relevant agencies have quickly and actively implemented measures to support and help individuals and organizations who suffered from damage to health and property, said Tuan at the press conference.
At the same time, security and order were strengthened through various measures. The authorities took legal actions and extremists who seriously violated laws were arrested and prosecuted. Many solutions have been carried out to help stabilize production of Formosa and other projects in Vung Ang economic zone, said the Vietnamese official.
"The situation is back to normal now," Tuan told reporters.
Central and southern Vietnamese provinces witnessed a spate of violent protests against foreign companies last week, which left at least two Chinese dead and more than 100 injured.
Four Chinese ships, each with an accommodation capacity of about 1,000 passengers, have been sent to bring home some 4,000 Chinese nationals, and two others are on stand-by. Some wounded Chinese workers have already been flown home aboard two chartered flights.
Beijing has condemned the violence and demanded that Vietnam take resolute and effective measures to stop all violence, ensure the safety of all Chinese nationals and companies, punish all perpetrators and compensate affected Chinese companies and nationals.
