Vietnam breaks up anti-China rally, arrests protesters

Vietnam broke up anti-China rallies in its two main cities and arrested around 20 people Sunday, activists told AFP, in the latest protests against Beijing as tensions flare over the South China Sea.

Protestors shout anti-China slogans as they march toward the Chinese embassy in Hanoi on December 9. Around 200 protesters, some waving banners and chanting "Down with China's aggression!", were intercepted by security forces as they tried to approach the Chinese embassy in the capital.
