Vietnam’s success in containing COVID-19 provides a chance to to use earned legitimacy as a springboard to reforms.
The Diplomat has removed paywall restrictions on our coverage of the COVID–19 crisis.
The political stability of many countries has been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. As authoritarian governments in countries like China and Vietnam strive to maintain the fruits of economic growth, questions about their legitimacy arise in the face of compounding crises. These governments use their authoritarian control to legitimize societal rules and regulations in service to a shared belief system that maintaining centralized control can not only mitigate chaos in the market but also secure public safety in a pandemic crisis.

The world was a dangerous place before—and will be after—the coronavirus pandemic.
While Americans debate the proper ongoing response to the virus and argue over the infection’s origins, nature, and trajectory, they may have tuned out other, often just as scary, news.
Many Americans are irate at China for its dishonest and lethal suppression of knowledge about the viral outbreak. But they may forget that China has other huge problems, too. Tiếp tục đọc “Pandemic Only 1 of America’s Security Concerns”

Covid-19 đã khoét sâu thêm sự bất bình đẳng giữa người giàu – người nghèo, người da trắng – da đen ở New York.
Khi Sean Petty bước vào phòng cấp cứu ở Trung tâm y tế Jacobi, Bronx, anh bị sốc bởi một cảnh tượng thảm khốc: Khoảng 60 người, hầu hết là người Mỹ gốc Phi hoặc người Mỹ Latin sống ở khu vực ven thành phố New York đang có các biểu hiện điển hình của Covid-19. Họ thở hổn hển trên những chiếc cáng.
“Mọi ngóc ngách của Khoa cấp cứu đều có bệnh nhân gắn liền với bình oxy di động, họ ốm nặng và cần giường bệnh. Những chiếc cáng đã lấp đầy phòng và tràn cả xuống các hành lang, 10 bệnh nhân chỉ trong một góc hành lang”, anh nói. Những âm thanh chết chóc của bệnh tật tràn ngập trong căn phòng: “Nó giống một điệp khúc, một âm hưởng của những tiếng ho”.

Last Friday afternoon, two women walked to a charity booth at 420 Lac Long Quan Street in Hanoi.
One of them took the donated food items and walked off immediately.
The other, a slim woman in her mid-thirties, hesitated after receiving her gift pack.
She stood silently for a while, an envelope in her hand. After she’d gathered enough courage, she walked towards Dao Tuan Hung, who was managing the booth. She pressed the envelope into his hand.
“I immediately told her it was a free present, but she said that it was not money. She left quickly after giving me the envelope,” Hung said.
Inside was a handwritten letter.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen.
I have been an unemployed worker since the Covid-19 disease hit the country, the people and the government’s 16th decree (national social distancing campaign) to ensure the lives of people and the community. I sold things for a living but had to stop and paying rent has become difficult. I came across Lac Long Quan Street and found this place which distributes rice and noodles.

The coronavirus pandemic has given rise to plenty of new terminology, a recent example being ‘face mask diplomacy’. China led the way by exporting face masks, testing kits, ventilators and thermometers, but as this type of ‘diplomacy’ develops, a new challenger has emerged: Vietnam.
