“Vietnam's ruling party to be one of the most thin-skinned governments in the region when it comes to public criticism. A noodle seller mocking the Minister's ridiculously expensive steak on a gov't trip is funny, not criminal. Mockery is a legitimate form of expression that should not be considered a crime.”

“Vietnamese leaders have the political wisdom to maintain a balance between China and the US. The US has been trying to depict China as a security threat to the region and court Southeast Asia toward its camp, but those kinds of attempts are doomed to fail as even Vietnam, a country that has maritime disputes with China, knows what's beneficial - to jointly manage differences and risks, and expand cooperation and enhance mutual trust.”

“The risk for the outbreak to spread nationwide is very high. We need to deploy stronger measures to curb the outbreak. If the outbreak spread nationwide, it would affect political stability, people's health and the National Assembly and People's Council elections, and the consequence would be unpredictable.”

“From the Vietnamese perspective, it’s probably good for its position and interest if Washington appears to be more assertive and confrontational to China. Strong US positions could help modify China’s claims and position in the South China Sea. Vietnam will be happy to see US military presence and security role in the South China Sea, which may help prevent the Chinese military from establishing a domination position.”
