How #Vietnam bets on serving the #Trump organization. Despicable, including land evictions—not particularly a thing the Vietnamese people fancy.

Video: Inside a Trump Family Project in Vietnam
As President Trump blurs the lines between politics and business — and threatens steep tariffs on trade partners — governments feel compelled to favor Trump-related projects. Damien Cave, Vietnam bureau chief for The New York Times, and Katrin Bennhold, a senior writer on the international desk, discuss how this dynamic has played out in Vietnam, at the groundbreaking of a fast-tracked $1.5 billion Trump golf complex.

#Vietnam amid an unsustainable rush.
"The race to get out of China has gathered so much pace in recent weeks that a social media genre of fixers has surfaced to offer tips on how to reroute goods through not only Vietnam, but places like Thailand and Malaysia too."

Chinese Factories Are Moving Manufacturing to Vietnam to Escape Trump’s Tariffs
A movement of manufacturing to Vietnam that began in President Trump’s first term is accelerating as sky-high U.S. tariffs block Chinese exports.

The Economist aiming for #Vietnam and the general secretary.
"If Mr Lam fails, Vietnam will muddle on as a low-value-added production centre. But if he succeeds, a second doi moi would propel 100m Vietnamese into the developed world, creating another Asian growth engine."

Cover of The Economist, in all red and the general secretary of the communist party with golden stars on his glaces on the front. This is basically the flag

50 years of reunification, the end of the second Indochina war, #Vietnam had a blast with a mammoth celebration. The nationalism is troubled but it goes strong. An entire day of a parade in Saigon and on TV, and we had a tank in the newspaper 🤷
Interesting, since it’s the final days abroad for us

Lots of tiny red Vietnam flags lined up across a tree, blue sky avoce and curbside below
A cardboard build your own tank as part of the newspaper. A gift to readers, all under the header of 50 years of glory, the propaganda of the government. The longer you read about propaganda propaganda, the less dramatic it sounds. But lest not forget that this was a civil war and that there's a history with a yellow flag, communities still strong, e.g., in the US

Chilling out outside, perhaps having a solo Karaoke session, rockin it, living the AQI 50 life.
