More DTiNews readers have sent donations to Vietnamese fishermen amid tensions with China over the East Sea.

On May 19, Bui Canh Duong, Director of Thang Long Culture Centre visited the office of DTiNews to donate VND50 million (USD2,380) to a fishermen support programme launched by the newspaper. The donation comes from the staff of the centre.

Duong said, like other Vietnamese people, he strongly opposed the illegal Chinese actions and clearly understood the hardships brought on the fishermen in the cause of the national sovereignty protection.

Mr. Duong came along with his son, who is now in the fifth grade. The boy also donated his savings of VND2 million.
