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).

Shin Woong-Jae A prototype axion detector in Daejeon, South Korea.

nature – Behind the doors of a drab brick building in Daejeon, South Korea, a major experiment is slowly taking shape. Much of the first-floor lab space is under construction, and one glass door, taped shut, leads directly to a pit in the ground. But at the end of the hall, in a pristine lab, sits a gleaming cylindrical apparatus of copper and gold. It’s a prototype of a device that might one day answer a major mystery about the Universe by detecting a particle called the axion — a possible component of dark matter.

China’s Youth Think Tiananmen Was So 1989

I still remember the first time I talked about the Tiananmen incident with my university roommates. It was the eve of the 20th anniversary of June 4.

“Do you girls know what day is it today?”

“June 4.”

“Anything else?”“I know what you mean,” said the girl whose bunk bed lay under mine. “It’s the anniversary. But what can we do?”
