Beijing tells Hanoi it must pay for losses

Convictions 'simply not enough', says spokesman for Foreign Ministry

Vietnam needs to thoroughly investigate the recent anti-China riots there, and must pay compensation to Chinese nationals and enterprises to regain global confidence in the country, officials and analysts said.

On Sunday, authorities in Vietnam's Binh Duong province, north of Ho Chi Minh City, found two men guilty for the riots starting on May 13 that killed two Chinese citizens, injured hundreds of others and damaged hundreds of foreign factories, the country's Thanh Nien Daily newspaper reported.
