Stay firm

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Life is not easy. I am sure that you all would agree to that. So, all the great teachers of the world, from the ancient times till today, have focused on one job: figuring out the way to make life easy and teach others to go that way.

In US-China rivalry, is Vietnam the big winner?

CNA Insider -13 thg 2, 2024

In the span of three months, presidents of both the US and China have visited Hanoi. From the visits, numerous trade and investment deals were signed.
