Well this is definitely bad for vietnams image/FDI. They have made it hard for even thoer ASEAN partners/others to support them.
However concerning the destruction of Taiwanese factories(which was he most affected), it isnt really out of place for those rioters who committed it. Taiwan is still an ethnic chinese country, and even more chinese than the mainland(they preserved the traditional mandarin/chinese culture which the mainland lost during the cultural revolution). Taiwan still holds the largest/most habitable island in the sprastly islands. Also it was taiwan government(KMT) who claim the nine dash line, the communist just took over from them after the civil war. So the ROC(taiwan) is a valuable target since they are still Chinese people(doesnt matter if they have issues with the mainland). im not condoning the violence. just stating that the rioters mistake was targeting some south koreans and japanese factories instead of ethnic chinese.
