{{Several factories have been set on fire amid anti-China protests at an industrial park in southern Vietnam, amid tensions over the South China Sea. }} <\/p>\n

The park’s management said three factories were set on fire on Tuesday, but other reports put the figure as high as 15. <\/p>\n

No casualties have been reported but officials said many arrests were made.<\/p>\n

The protests came after China moved a drilling rig into waters claimed by Vietnam earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In a daily press briefing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Vietnam was a “provocateur” and that Beijing had expressed concern to Hanoi.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday they moved on to VSIP’s two industrial parks nearby and targeted factories owned or managed by the Chinese and Chinese expatriates.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for VSIP told the reporters the three factories were set on fire on Tuesday night after workers had gone home. <\/p>\n

Not all of the tenants of the three factories were Chinese companies, she said. Some Taiwanese companies had been affected. <\/p>\n

Other reports suggested the violence was more widespread, with more factories targeted. <\/p>\n

A local official estimated that around 19,000 workers took part in the protest and that at least 15 factories were set on fire, according to local media. <\/p>\n

One photo carried by Vietnamese media showed a factory had draped a South Korean flag at its entrance in a bid to stave off attacks. <\/p>\n
