China accuses Vietnam of shelling border town
China says Vietnam fired more than 2000 shells daily into Yunnan since mid September and sent armed men across the frontier to harass peasants. Xinhua said a Vietnamese platoon crossed near Laoshan and was wiped out in 50 minutes. The Laoshan area is a frequent border hotspot in the ongoing undeclared war after Vietnam’s 1979 Cambodia invasion.
