Vietnam is on the verge of gender inequality as a result of gender-biased sex selection since many families in the country still favor boys over girls, resulting in more than 40,000 baby girls unborn every year.
Sex selection of fetuses on the basis of gender inequality has existed in Asia for decades, according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
The manifestation of gender-biased sex selection can be directly measured through the sex ratio at birth.

U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien left Thursday for Vietnam and the Philippines to discuss regional security cooperation, the White House National Security Council said.
He would meet leaders in both countries “to reaffirm the strength of our bilateral relationships,” it tweeted on Thursday.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswomen Le Thi Thu Hang said at a press meet the same day that O’Brien will be in Vietnam from Friday to Sunday for high-level meetings to discuss bilateral relations and regional and international issues that concern both Vietnam and the U.S.
Two weeks ago U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Hanoi where he affirmed his nation’s continued support for a strong, prosperous and independent Vietnam.

Gender bias is preventing Vietnamese women from climbing the corporate ladder, a recent study by the International Labor Organization has found.
The survey polled executives and employees at 300 companies of whom 54 percent agreed or strongly agreed that women with equal skills and qualifications as men have greater difficulty reaching top management positions.
Only 15 percent said the top positions in their company were held by women.

TĐH: Dear readers, for the sake of Vietnamese workers, please kindly promote this article far and wide. Thank you very much.
I am not an expert. Most certainly, I am not an economist. I just speak from the experience of being an ordinary, unskilled worker.
Until a few years ago, as college students, my friend and I typically spent summer vacations as factory workers to earn some money and help parents pay our tuition fees.
Honestly, those three months felt like three centuries.
TĐH: There are many intangible benefits from foreign direct investments (FDI) – employment and jobs for the local population, increased education, increased professional skills, better law enforcement and legal process, better working and living conditions in general for the locality… Not just taxes. Tax is a small part of the benefit package. If we need to lower/exempt taxes to compete, then let’s do that to compete. If the entire gang of Asia or Southeast Asia countries agree not to use taxes to compete, then that is “an agreement not to compete,” in a national scene that would constitute a violation of antitrust (anti-competition) law, harmful to consumers and to the economy. The economic principle should not be different in the international scene. (But of course, we need to compete both in business environment and in financial benefits such as taxation and land lease).

Competing for foreign investment with tax incentives will end up hitting governments’ revenues and be a lose-lose situation for all ASEAN members, experts warn.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said the incoming Biden administration should move quickly to restore lines of communication with China that frayed during the Trump years or risk a crisis that could escalate into military conflict.
“Unless there is some basis for some cooperative action, the world will slide into a catastrophe comparable to World War I,” Kissinger said during the opening session of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum. He said military technologies available today would make such a crisis “even more difficult to control” than those of earlier eras.

Vài năm trở lại đây, ở nước ta rộ lên thú chơi cây cảnh cổ thụ được khai thác từ rừng. Ban đầu, đây chỉ là trào lưu nhỏ lẻ của một bộ phận người đam mê cây cảnh, nhưng dần dần nó đã lan rộng trở thành “cơn lốc” triệt hạ, cưỡng bức cây rừng ở khu vực Tây Nguyên – Nam Trung bộ.

Những cuộc đào bới, triệt hạ cây rừng bắt đầu từ nương rẫy, dần tấn công cả vào rừng phòng hộ. Rừng bị tàn sát khiến lũ lụt gia tăng. Trong khi đó, các cơ quan chức năng lại kêu khó vì pháp luật còn nhiều kẽ hở.

Fifteen Asia-Pacific economies formed the world’s largest free trade bloc on Sunday, a China-backed deal that excludes the United States, which had left a rival Asia-Pacific grouping under President Donald Trump.

The United States is expected to take a more contained approach to the South China Sea under Joe Biden, but the disputed waters will remain a potential hotspot in the relationship between Beijing and Washington, observers say.“I think he [Biden] will take a different approach to [US President Donald] Trump,” said Wu Shicun, head of the National Institute of South China Sea Studies, which advises the government.“He is likely to pay more attention to the South China Sea but his policies will be more balanced and more contained.”

English: What will it take to achieve Vietnam’s long-term growth aspirations?
COVID-19 đã làm gián đoạn hành trình của đất nước là trở thành một nền kinh tế tăng trưởng cao, tuy nhiên những điều chỉnh cơ cấu phù hợp có thể đưa nền kinh tế trở lại quỹ đạo.
Với một lượng ca nhiễm và tử vong do Covid 19 tương đối ít được ghi nhận đến nay, Việt Nam hiện đang có cơ hội và bắt buộc phải xem xét về khát vọng kinh tế dài hạn hơn, thậm chí giống như một quốc gia chịu trách nhiệm chống lại vi-rút. Thành công lâu dài sẽ đòi hỏi các nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam phải tập trung vào vấn đề và cơ hội đã có từ lâu trước khi có đại dịch
Viện khoa học Xã hội Việt Nam, thành công sẽ đòi hỏi mức tăng trưởng hàng năm từ 7,0-7,5 % từ năm 2021 đến năm 2030, đây một bước tiến lớn so với mức 6,3 % trung bình của Việt Nam trong mười năm trước năm 2018.
