i just get very suspicious when i see 2nd/3rd world countries selling SOEs to foreigners and the americans are complimenting them
From what I've know, a shit load of members caught taking all have their property seized and kicked out of the Party
The state selling SOEs to the foreigners and stuff are just some conspiracy theories
I don't see any clear evidences on whether or not they sell them to foreign enterprises
the FDI stat i posted
idk if its SOEs
but vietnam is allowing a lot of foreign business in
"The foreign direct investment sector posted 14,600 enterprises, up 54.2% compared to 2012 and a 9.2% annual growth in the number of enterprises."
There are a lot of European, Korean and Japanese corperations here
Like a lot
Like this weird ass Samsung TV that I have in my room for some reasons
The middle class in Vietnam is growing
My family personally is middle class and stuff are going well for us
Talkihg about SOE
Unlike private companies, SOEs and Military owned companies actually get their shit done
MOEs?
man vietnam signed up for TPP
whyyy
this also makes me suspicious lol
We actually went to war with China 40 years ago
because the people learn all about marxism, but then their government does the opposite?
is that why?
"The government can then use those proceeds to help in funding infrastructure projects to attract more foreign investment."
is this part of why SOEs are being sold off?
No, the South East China Sea problem
As you have already know, our GDP is low, maybe the state are selling off those SOEs because they're inefficient and to pay off debts and do as listed above
The people don't care about Marxism/Leninism or Communism and Socialism and they certainly won't start another bloody civil war just because the government isn't what they claim to be
There are a clear trait of nationalism in Vietnamese society and even though the government is "Socialist", they are in fact Nationalistic
Vandalizing historical Vietnamese national heroes can land you in jail
The school books encourage Nationalism and national pride
Propaganda posters have a certain amount of Nationalistic content in them
Like this for example
"Glory to be a soldier"
"Protect the Fatherland"
"Vietnam in my heart"
