Border Jam Forces Vietnam to Halt Trucks Headed to China

The northern Vietnamese province of Lang Son has decided to stop trucks loaded with fruit from heading to its border with China for 10 days starting February 16, VN Express reported.

The provincial department of industry and trade said the number of trucks waiting at the three border gates of Huu Nghi, Tan Thanh and Chi Ma was 1,640 as of last Friday morning.
