Epidemic prevention corruption in Vietnam

author:The way to wealth

Because of history, Vietnam has formed two urban centers, one south and one north.

To the north is the capital Hanoi, the political center of Vietnam, and to the south is Ho Chi Minh City, the economic center of Vietnam.

As early as the 19th century, when French colonists invaded Vietnam, they invested heavily in the construction of a port for Ho Chi Minh City (then called Saigon) to facilitate the French landing here.

Later, after the construction of the United States and South Vietnam, as early as the 1950s, the population of Saigon City exceeded one million, far exceeding Hanoi (400,000) at that time.

Saigon City is the central city, capital and port of southern Vietnam, and has long been economically controlled by Western capital, and Westerners also enjoy privileges here. In the eyes of Westerners, Saigon City is the city that connects with the West.

Therefore, two currents of thought or two factions have formed in Vietnam, the Ho Chi Minh school and the Hanoi school.

It is easy to understand from the process of formation of these two cities, the Hanoi faction leans towards socialism, and the Ho Chi Minh faction is more pro-Western, more inclined to fully market-oriented economy and capitalism.

Whether there is a more market economy or a more planned economy is not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism. A planned economy is not equal to socialism, capitalism also has a plan; The market economy is not equal to capitalism, socialism also has a market.

However, in socialist countries, market economy without the escort of socialism will inevitably turn into disorderly capitalism.

Comrade ChenY, who had opposed the establishment of a special economic zone in Mumbai, had worked there and was well aware of the evils of capitalism and the comprador habit of local businessmen groveling to foreigners.

Once you let go and let them do it, it will immediately become a base camp and a comprador city.

Recently, the resignation of Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc was approved.

The Vietnamese official notification is that Nguyen Xuan Phuc is responsible for the serious consequences caused by the violations and mistakes of several subordinates.

Vietnam is a socialist country, and at the beginning of the epidemic, it also relied on the mobilization ability of state organizations to control the spread of the virus and became a model student of epidemic prevention in Southeast Asia.

But then I did it and found out that there was corruption.

Vietnam's nucleic acid corruption began with a company called Yueya Technology, which hoarded and bid up the price of testing reagents.

Vietnam's epidemic charter corruption refers to the fact that since the beginning of the outbreak, Vietnam coordinated nearly 2,000 charter flights and brought back more than 200,000 Vietnamese nationals from overseas. Later investigations found that officials from relevant departments "slaughtered" returning Vietnamese citizens in multiple links such as handling fees, air ticket prices, and charges for quarantine in returning home.

Therefore, in early January, Vietnam removed two deputy prime ministers and many other large and small officials due to nucleic acid corruption and epidemic charter corruption.

The resignation of Nguyen Xuan Phuc this time is to be responsible for the dereliction of duty of these subordinates.

Vietnam's two dismissed deputy prime ministers, Pham Binh Minh, who studied in the United States and are also regarded as one of the representatives of Vietnam's "pro-Western faction", Vu Duc Dan studied in Belgium.

Vietnam's pro-Western cadres will be relieved, which will help Vietnam maintain relative independence, not go further and further in a pro-Western direction, and try to preserve itself in the tide of dollar harvesting.

It is also beneficial for us that Vietnam is not pro-Western, or at least does not go against us with the West.
