Vietnamese people do not agree with the Vietnamese government to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping to Vietnam, according to a recent poll.

The poll was conducted on Viet Tan’s Facebook page and attracted over 5000 respondents over two weeks. 83% of respondents believe Vietnam should not welcome President Xi Jinping in his upcoming visit.

The Chinese President will be addressing the Vietnamese National Assembly on Friday, November 6 amidst protest from Vietnamese organisations and citizens.

Twenty civil society organisations have called for protests on Thursday, November 5 in front of the Chinese Consulate in Saigon and Chinese Embassy in Hanoi.

Instead of representing the Vietnamese people’s interest, the Vietnamese government will continue to welcome the Chinese President in Hanoi over the next few days.
