VietNamNet Bridge – A Taiwan-invested company in Da Nang City
imported 240 desks calendars and 240 manuals as gifts for their employees.
However, these products were confiscated because the Vietnamese maps on these
products do not have the Hoang Sa (Paracels) Archipelago.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Chien, deputy
director of the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said the Da
Nang authorities have confiscated 480 manuals and desk calendars of the TCIE
Co., Ltd., which is based in the Hoa Khanh Industrial Park, Lien Chieu District
for "having content, images that violate the regulations on the import and
export of cultural products of the State of Vietnam."
These publications were imported
from the Kee Lung port (Taiwan) to Da Nang on January 31. The back covers of
these products have the map of the countries with which the company set up its
branches. However, the map of Vietnam does not have the Hoang Sa and the Truong
Sa archipelagoes.
On February 7, the Da Nang
Customs Agency seized 240 desk calendars and on February 27 continued to
confiscate 240 manuals.
"In principle, when using a
map of Vietnam, the map must have the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa Archipelago as the
territory of Vietnam. But these publications do not have the archipelagos so we
seize these products," a staff of Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports
and Tourism said.
