Vietnam – Whys and wherefores over disputes with China

On its Progam "International Affairs in Depth", China Central Telelvision (CCTV) aired a Special Feature "Vietnam – Whys and Wherefores" on 30 May, 2014. It attempts to elucidate  from China's perspective domestic and external factors leading to assertive confrontation against China's deployment of an oil rig near the Xisha/Paracel Islands, followed by spreading domestic riots against foreign-invested factories.

The broadcast is in Putonghua (Mandarin) with English subtitles.
