HANOI—Seven people were killed Friday in a clash between Vietnamese border guards and migrants from China attempting to enter the country illegally who seized weapons from officers in a bid to avoid being sent home, Vietnamese authorities reported.

Two of the dead were Vietnamese border guards and four more were wounded, according to an information portal for Quang Ninh province, where the attempted entry was made. The report didn't provide details on the migrants who were killed or those who were possibly injured in the clash.

There had been women and children among the 16 migrants who attempted to enter Vietnam, the portal said.

They had attempted to cross at 4:20 a.m. at Bac Phong Sinh on China's southern border with northern Vietnam, the information portal said. They were arrested and escorted to a transfer facility to be sent back to China, but during the procedure guns were seized by some of the men, who then opened fire, killing one guard, according to the portal. The men refused to surrender, resulting in a shootout, the portal reported.

Before i read the news, i have think they'r China Uyghur. So why ?

China XinJiang ==> China YunNan ==> South Thailand ==> West Myanmar (Rohingya camp) ==> run to the Turkey

or

China XinJiang ==> China GuangXi ==> Vietnam ==> Cambodia ==> South Thailand ==> West Myamar (Rohingya camp) ==> run to Turkey

The Myamar muslims - Rohingya help these China Uyghur smuggling to Turkey.


R.I.P for Vietnamese border guards, pls do not send them back.

A group of illegal migrants from China killed two Vietnamese policemen and seriously injured four others in a shooting attack at Bac Phong Sinh Border Gate between Vietnam and China this noon.

Five Chinese nationals died in the attack, most of whom had committed suicide while the others were gunned down by Vietnamese police and border guard.

According to the Vietnamese Border guard, they were informed by Chinese colleagues at 5:30 a.m. this morning that a group of Chinese nationals was attempting to enter Vietnam illegally.

The Border guard and police of Hai Ha District intercepted the group and detained 16 people, including ten men, four women and two children.
The police and guards then kept the illegal migrants at the Bac Phong Sinh Border Gate, waiting to hand them over to Chinese authorities.
At noon, however, some of the detained managed to snatch an AK47 assault rifle from an officer and started the shooting rampage.
Three women in the group also armed themselves with knives, authorities said.
Police in Quang Ninh Province are preparing a press briefing on the incident in their area.

The bold part shows something really strange,China knew those people were about to enter Vietnam but chose to let them.

Uyghurs are troublemakers. I'm happy to see them leaving China. I hope all Uyghurs follow them.

No need to condemn an entire ethnic group.

Chinese citizens can pay 2USD to the Viet bordergards，enter Vietnam without visa and travel in VN without problems. This only shows that Uyghurs enjoy the same rights or advantages as ordinary Chinese. However these Uygurs are possibly using VN as an escape to a third country.

Why would a Muslim always blames others on Muslim-Non-Muslim issues while keeping silent on Muslim-Muslim issues such as Iraq-Iran，Syria，Egypt and so on？

I think China should have a free migration policy for the Uyghurs and open borders to Pakistan as well as to other central Asian states....

Blindness, bias or violence based on religion or political fanaticism is foolish...

Why you want to get rid of Uighurs? They are the local and indigenous people of Sinjiang.Your rulers should treat them with respect and dignity and solve all the problems in peaceful manners.You as a nation have long way to go,don`t adopt the path of arrogance but humility.
