The incident occurred right after the Yadea Vietnam brand launched a series of new products in the Vietnamese market.

Specifically, Yadea Vietnam admitted: "We admit that we were extremely negligent in coordinating with the website construction service provider and map provider to display accurate information/images."

A Yadea representative said that after receiving the information, they immediately "checked and removed inappropriate images in accordance with current legal regulations."

The company representative shared: "We confirm that this incident happened unexpectedly and sincerely apologize for this very unfortunate mistake."

Previously, the Vietnamese online community discovered that the company’s website yadea.com.vn displayed an inappropriate map in the store search category. In particular, the images and information that the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa belong to Vietnam were not clearly shown.

In addition, there is non-specific information about the language, displayed related to the provinces and cities of Vietnam on the map.

According to the reporter's records, at 6:00 p.m. on May 19, the store search service on Yadea Vietnam's website was blocked. Users accessing the store search will only receive a 404 error message "page not found".

The reporter's private source said that Yadea has been actively working with the service provider to edit the map system. Only when it fully meets the regulations of Vietnamese law will it be displayed again.

With a receptive spirit, Yadea Vietnam also said: “With a long-term commitment to the Vietnamese market and to contribute more to the country's economic and social development, we seriously listen to all feedback and suggestions with a receptive spirit, and will implement strict review measures to ensure that similar incidents do not happen in the future.”

Yadea is a bicycle and electric motorbike manufacturing brand based in Shanghai, China with over 20 years of experience. The company has been present in Vietnam since 2019. This is also one of the popular electric motorbike brands in Vietnam thanks to its affordable price range and diverse products.
