Chào các bạn,
Hôm rồi mình tình cờ ngồi ăn trưa tán chuyện với một anh bạn người Tây Phương. Anh này là con lai Việt, sinh ra ở châu Âu từ những năm 1960s, gia đình anh không còn ai ở VN. Một vài năm anh lại về VN chơi vì rất thương VN. Nói vài chuyện bâng quơ không hiểu thế nào lại nói về chủ nghĩa cộng sản. Mình hỏi “Anh cảm thấy sao, làm việc với những người cộng sản VN”.
Anh nói tỉnh bơ, cộng sản thì làm sao – so what? “Mày có biết là tao sống như cộng sản không, tức là có cái gì, tao cũng chia sẻ cho mọi người. Tao là cộng sản thực, những người cộng sản hiện nay, chẳng vị nào hiểu sống đời cộng sản là cái gì”
Mình cười nói, “Anh nói đúng rồi, đồng ý”. Rồi câu chuyện đơn giản dừng lại ở đó, bọn mình hi5 vỗ tay nhau và đứng dậy đi làm việc tiếp.

Not too long ago, Ngoi Village was living in a world of its own, quietly minding its own business, virtually unnoticed in the midst of a massive reservoir created by a hydropower project.
Accessible only by boat, its inhabitants wiled away their time fishing and farming.
That was until two months ago. Tiếp tục đọc “A new dawn breaks over Ngoi Village”

The seamstresses in Thach That Commune of the capital’s Quoc Oai District are not like most garment sector workers in Viet Nam. At least half are women with disabilities.
Ha, their boss, is too. Her father was a victim of Agent Orange and she suffers some enduring side effects of the toxic herbicide sprayed by American forces in Viet Nam. In addition to her sewing work she heads up the Club of Women with Disabilities in Quoc Oai District. Tiếp tục đọc “The seamstress who patches up lives”

VietNamNet Bridge – Some years ago, analysts predicted that modern distribution channels would develop rapidly in Vietnam as income continued to rise.
The prediction has been realized, but convenience stores, not large supermarkets, are the favored channel.
Market analysts have found that consumers now prioritize convenience when choosing shops. They are no longer excited about the opening of new hypermarkets as they were in the past, but often prefer to shop at convenience stores near their houses.

The equitization has led to a significant decrease in the number of business fields in which the State invests. In 2001, SOEs were operating in 60 business fields, but the figure has dropped to 19. This has given more ‘space’ and opportunities to the private sector to make investments. Tiếp tục đọc “Tens of trillions of dong of state capital nearly lost in equitization”
The company expects to produce 100,000-200,000 vehicles per year in the first phase

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon is planning to conduct more regular patrols in the South China Sea – as many as two to three a month – to assert freedom of navigation in disputed waters claimed by China, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday (Sep 1).
The newspaper said the aim is to create a more consistent posture to counter China’s maritime claims, rather than a more ad hoc approach favored during Barack Obama’s administration. Tiếp tục đọc “US planning more regular South China Sea patrols: Report”
The Rohingya are often described as “the world’s most persecuted minority”.
They are an ethnic Muslim group who have lived for centuries in the majority Buddhist Myanmar. Currently, there are about 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims who live in the Southeast Asian country.
The Rohingya speak Rohingya or Ruaingga, a dialect that is distinct to others spoken in Rakhine State and throughout Myanmar. They are not considered one of the country’s 135 official ethnic groups and have been denied citizenship in Myanmar since 1982, which has effectively rendered them stateless.

It’s nearly 10pm and Umida* is cooking dinner – a simple meal of rice and meat for the 11 members of her household who have been stuck inside the house all day due to Uzbekistan’s intense summer heat.
Since emerging as an independent nation in 1991, after nearly 200 years of Russian and then Soviet rule, Uzbekistan has slowly seen some economic progress. But poverty and unemployment remain high and many Uzbeks travel abroad for work. This leaves the men, women and children vulnerable to forced labour and sex trafficking.
