First group of riot-hit Chinese workers return from Vietnam

The first group of violence-stricken Chinese workers in Vietnam arrived at a port in Haikou on Tuesday morning.

A total of 989 Chinese workers from five Chinese companies arrived at Xiuying Port of Haikou, China's southmost province of Hainan.

Other three vessels will return consecutively by Tuesday afternoon with 2,564 Chinese evacuers.

The Chinese government sent four vessels on Sunday to evacuate riot-stricken Chinese workers in Vietnam where severe violence targeting foreign companies since May 13 has left two Chinese nationals dead and more than 100 others injured.
