Compare Vietnam Human Rights problems with US Human Rights problems

TĐH: As President Obama mentioned during his VN visit that human rights is a significant matter of US foreign affairs policy, I post here the 2015 report on human rights in Vietnam, compiled by the US Department of State. And to be fair, I also post the 2015 report on human rights in USA, compiled by Human Right Watch (because the US State Department doesn’t do a report on USA).

Human Rights is always a contentious matter among nations. However, knowing how a friend is seeing, correctly or incorrectly, another friend’s problem, hopefully will facilitate the VN-US dialogue and cooperation on Human Rights.
