Tien is head of policy & legal affairs at the #Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and director of the Institute for #Workers & Trade #Unions, the group said.
In the latest cause for concern, police in #Hanoi have arrested a #reformist labor ministry official, Nguyen Van Binh, 51, and charged him with disclosure of state secrets. Mr. Binh had advocated #LaborReform as director general of the legal department at the ministry, especially ratification of International Labor Organization Convention 87, which would guarantee #Vietnamese#workers the right to form independent trade #unions.
An officer at #XuanPhuoc prison declined to comment on his behavior but said that prisoners who are disciplined are put in #SolitaryConfinement for 10 days.
Phuoc, 62, is a former music lecturer at #DakLak#PedagogicalCollege. He was #arrested on Sept. 8, 2022, on charges of “anti-state propaganda.”
Sentenced to 8 yrs in prison & 4 yrs of probation at his trial in June 2023. After losing an appeal, he was sent to Xuan Phuoc prison in #PhuYen province.
#Vietnamese officials have called on #Apple supplier #Foxconn to reduce power use by 30% at its assembly plants in the north of the country where there were #electricity#outages last year, two people familiar with the matter said.
The request for #EnergySaving measures, which two other industry sources said was sent to multiple manufacturers, is precautionary & aimed at averting a repeat of last summer when #PowerShortage led to over a billion dollars in lost output.
#Vietnamese#Actor Hoa Xuande stars in the new espionage thriller “The Sympathizer” based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the #VietnamWar. On Wednesday, May 22 at 3:00 p.m. ET, the breakout star joins The Post’s Jonathan Capehart to talk about playing a double agent in the miniseries, exploring the #VietnamesePerspective of the war and his journey from #Australia to #Hollywood.
President #HoChiMinh is a figure with universal stature, a great #revolutionary who fought tirelessly for the best for #Vietnamese people and #humanity, and a very great but humble man Dr. Ruvislei González Sáez.
Saez, who is also VP of the #Cuba#Vietnam Friendship Association, affirmed that the great #ideology of President Ho Chi Minh, one of the most important figures in the 20th century, remains alive among the 100 million Vietnamese people & world #revolutionaries.
"The Hollywood Reporter spoke with eight of The Sympathizer’s Vietnamese cast members in a group conversation below that revealed that, although they all share the same ethnicity, they are diverse in age, nationality and experience, together forming a living account of the modern Vietnamese diaspora — what it has been through, and what it is like now."
"Last Saturday, I was at a community gathering of around 30 Vietnamese immigrants, all in their 50s and 60s, in Oakland, California, when I asked if anyone knew anything about AI or artificial intelligence.
None of them had ever heard of it...And in this room full of elders from my community, the Vietnamese community, no one knew about it, which meant no one knew to look for it."
I had a great Sunday with my friend, Sarah! She came over earlier. We did mini home spa treatments. I did full skincare spoils for her because she doesn't treat herself to spa facial treatments & deserves some pampering. Afterwards, we went to the outdoors expo, at Juan de Fuca Rec.
Just got back home & am relaxing as my #Vietnamese#BòKho (beef stew) finishes simmering. I put it on slow cook before going to expo.
I was a bit weirded out by some unmasked folks at the expo who complimented me on my custom marked N95 mask - that reads on one side: Covid Killed My Dad & other side has a bear sticker that says - Sometimes Anti-Social. Always Anti-Fascist.
Beef jerky vendor was nice person but not very informed on covid. He asked me if that really happened? I asked, what do you mean? He points to my mask & says - about #covid killing your Dad? I replied - Yes, Dad died June 9,2023 after hospital infected him with covid, after I kept him safe for 3 years at home. I lost a dear friend to covid recently too after in hospital infection & a friend's teen is living in wheelchair from #LongCovid & he was a jr athlete prior to 2 infections.
Using less water & using a #drone to fertilize are new techniques that Van is trying & #Vietnam hopes will help solve a #paradox at the heart of #GrowingRice : The finicky crop isn’t just vulnerable to #ClimateChange but also contributes uniquely to it.
Vietnam is the world's 3rd largest #rice exporter, & the staple importance to #Vietnamese culture is palpable in the #Mekong Delta.
"Nguyen, who is an executive producer, and the creative team hope the series will force viewers to center the Vietnamese perspective of the conflict while rethinking fundamental American myths, including about how the country still wields its geopolitical power in a fractured world today. 'Everything that the United States was doing in 1975 are things that are still happening now,' Nguyen says."
#RiceVermicelli with chives & fried eggs; nuoc cham sauce poured over it. Our breakfast today. We'll likely have it for lunch too, with some Chinese greens clear soup.
Day off. Plans are to get caught up on seeds sowing, get food transplants into beds/bigger pots (2 pea types & loganberries), aerate composts, sift soil & prep pots.
Going for a nature walk nearby, after tasks are done. Lovely sunny morning; it'll be a beautiful day 🌞😎
I don't like how other places here make them. My fave place to buy is on Main St. in Vancouver Chinatown. I don't remember name of the place, know it by sight. My family bought from there since 80s & it's run by Teochew ppl from Cholon, Saigon, Vietnam. I can speak Teochew there; very few ppl speak my language in BC.
@JoeQuinlan Vietnam is one of the most censored nations in Asia. This secret directive will make things even worse for Vietnamese citizens & will further put more government dissenters at higher risks of being jailed.
