Some commentaries are heavily biased and borderline conspiratorial.
I am Vietnamese, currently still living in the Vietnam, and I believe the VCP is doing what they are saying on the can: purging corruption (rather than this being political purge).
Just as concrete counterexample on why it is not merely political purge: In the past 3 years, the last two Presidents of this term both had to resign due to corruption, the first one related to covid testing kit was from the Northern faction. The last two Chairman of People’s committee of Hanoi (basically Hanoi’s mayor/ governor) were also removed and arrested for corruption.
Someone below was wondering what the trigger for this was, so here is it: people were tricked into buying bonds by SCB (My Lan’s bank) when trying to opening saving account. Some lost their entire life saving to the bullshit bonds, and to this day I still occasionally see protester in front of Vietnam’s state bank (it is on my daily commute).
I am not saying there weren’t political infighting, but past few years weren’t it
- tuan 2y ago>> Some commentaries are heavily biased and borderline conspiratorial. yeah, just want to echo what NhanH said above. Please factcheck or ask for citations. Some comments are borderline conspiracies.
- gigatexal 2y agohrmm perhaps i got swindled by one who can speak so confidently -- either way -- i will have to collect all inputs (thank you all who responded) and use my best judgement and perhaps own research to confirm. it's too easy to be swindled these days and even my critical thinking might be not strong enough
