Funny, I thought you were going to say it was a specific arm of a signals intel group.

The point was obviously to say that you shouldn't take an out of context quote and apply it to whichever situation you want to confirm a belief, because unless you know exactly what the context is (and nobody here does) your opinion means squat. Also that link wouldn't exactly support the idea that Obama and Russia were working together to allow "European people suffer", because if anything it should push the administration to push harder against Russia to ensure that Biden's son doesn't have to worry about Russia influencing the company and forcing him out for political reasons. That link is even weaker than the "link" that the Bush administration went to war in Iraq to increase profits for Halliburton.

They went to war in Iraq for the similar reasons why they are working with Russia now: energy suppression.

BEIJING—China's police chief, Guo Shengkun, urged his Vietnamese counterpart to do a better job of protecting Chinese nationals and companies from anti-Chinese protests, Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency reported.

In the Saturday phone call, Mr. Guo told Tran Dai Quang, Vietnam's minister of public security, that the Vietnamese side bears what Xinhua called an "unshirkable responsibility" for the situation.

Mobs looted and set fire to scores of factories in industrial estates in Vietnam this past week, set off initially by anger at China's moving an oil rig into South China Sea waters claimed by Vietnam. China said Friday that two of its citizens died in the rioting.



Violent protests targeting Chinese factories in Vietnam have spilled over into the facilities of other global manufacturers. The WSJ's Deborah Kan speaks with Willy Lin, deputy chairman of Federation of Hong Kong Industries.

"China's Ministry of Public Security is very much shocked and indignant at the violence," Xinhua quoted Mr. Guo as telling Mr. Tran. Mr. Guo added that China was dissatisfied with Vietnam's response to the violence, Xinhua said.

According to Xinhua, Mr. Tran said Vietnam had dispatched large police forces to the areas affected and had arrested people responsible for harming Chinese.

In Hanoi, Vietnamese officials said Saturday that the country it is taking all necessary measures to prevent further illegal violence following the riots that leftfactories, many of them owned by Taiwanese and other non-Chinese companies, burned and damaged.

"The situation has been under control and we have arrested more than 300 people for stealing, sabotaging and resisting against the authorities," Hoang Kong Tu, chief investigator of the Ministry of Public Security, said at a press briefing in Hanoi.

Mr. Tu said two Chinese citizens were killed and 140 others were injured in a riot at the Taiwanese Formosa steel mill in Ha Tinh province Wednesday night.

Foreign Ministry officials said Vietnam will take necessary measures to support factories affected by the recent riots. They didn't elaborate.

"Vietnamese people have the right to show their legitimate patriotism, but are not allowed to take any illegal actions that may spoil the country's image and affect the operations of foreign businesses, including Chinese companies," said Dang Minh Khoi, an assitant to the country's foreign minister.

Mr. Khoi said Vietnam will continue to exercise restraint and stick to peaceful measures to drive the Chinese oil rig and vessels out of Vietnamese waters.

In Qingdao, eastern China, trade ministers from China and Vietnam were meeting as part of a session of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, but it wasn't clear whether the China-Vietnam tensions had become part of the discussions.

The rioting in Vietnam has hit businesses with no ties to the dispute between Beijing and Hanoi, including those from Taiwan and Malaysia.
