Some
19,000 workers in Vietnam rioted yesterday, burning down and damaging
as many as 15 factories in an outburst of rage over China’s decision to deploy an oil rig near a disputed chain of islands.
Regardless of the trigger, the aggression was ultimately misplaced:
Most of the torched facilities were owned by companies based not in
China but in Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea.
