Hanoi chicken farmer Nguyen Huu Tuyen blames inexpensive poultry imported from the U.S. for the loss of almost $14,000 this year.
Farmers such as Tuyen say the only way American companies can undercut Vietnamese poultry prices is if they export chicken at artificially low prices or ship damaged meat to the Southeast Asian country. Tiếp tục đọc “Chicken War With U.S. Shows Free Trade Threat to Vietnam Farmers”

“Youth” is best understood as a period of transition from the dependence of childhood to adulthood’s independence and awareness of our interdependence as members of a community. Youth is a more fluid category than a fixed age-group.
However, age is the easiest way to define this group, particularly in relation to education and employment. Therefore “youth” is often indicated as a person between the age where he/she may leave compulsory education, and the age at which he/she finds his/her first employment. This latter age limit has been increasing, as higher levels of unemployment and the cost of setting up an independent household puts many young people into a prolonged period of dependency.

Từ nhiều thập kỷ nay, trong những nước có ít nhiều tự do, thấy rộ lên trào lưu luyến ái đồng tính (homosexuel). Ở một góc phố tối nào đó của một đô thị phồn hoa, người ta có thể bắt gặp một “cô điếm đực” đứng chờ khách.
Táo bạo hơn, nhiều cặp đồng tính quyết định sống chung như vợ chồng thực thụ, bất chấp dư luận, lại còn đòi pháp luật phải chính thức công nhận Hôn nhân đồng tính của họ nữa. Ngày nay trên thế giới, không những chỉ những nước Âu Mỹ, mà một số nước đang phát triển cũng đã công nhận hôn nhân đồng tính, thậm chí công nhận “giới tính thứ ba”, tức giới tính của người chuyển giới.

In December 1941, Japan’s Centrifugal Offensive was launched to gain control of the Western colonies in Southeast Asia and create a defensive perimeter to protect against an Allied offensive. It succeeded in capturing most U.S., British, and Dutch held territory. By the end of February 1942, Tokyo had secured all Western colonial possessions with the exception of part of New Guinea and Macau.
As fighting concluded in the Pacific Theater, an estimated 4.9 million Japanese soldiers remained stationed throughout the Pacific Islands and Asia.
At the conclusion of the war, Japan was still extended throughout the Pacific as Allied offensives continued to chip away at its holdings.
