[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Although the PRC oil rig was used as the rallying event, several of the early organizers are claimed to have stated that they organized the protests to complain about government repression of free speech and government collaboration with China, and that using the oil rig as the stated cause of the protests was done in an attempt to prevent governmental backlash.

Swarms of rioters on motorbikes mistakenly targeted South Korean, Taiwanese, Japanese, and Singaporean businesses as Chinese and vandalized them.

[30] Initially, Hanoi lauded the "patriotic" displays by its citizens, but reversed their statements after the protests turned into violent riots citing "the country's image being stained as a safe destination for sorely needed foreign investment".

A doctor told reporters that in central Hà Tĩnh that five Vietnamese workers and 16 other people described as Chinese were killed on Wednesday night in rioting.
