TTN – Singling dried and fresh chili out from decayed one after harvest has become a livelihood in Thanh Binh District of the southern province of Dong Thap and many children have had to work at a very early age to help their families.

Chili pickers will receive VND4,000 (US$0.19) when they get a basket of fresh chili, equal to around 7kg, done and VND10,000 for a kilo of dried chili. Continue reading In Vietnam, children cherry-pick chili after harvest to earn a living →

There are only five years left for Vietnam to implement its target of becoming an industrialized country by the end of the decade.

However, the goal seems improbable with the country lagging far behind even members of the regional bloc ASEAN like Malaysia and Thailand in terms of technology, infrastructure and living standards. Continue reading Economists skeptical of Vietnam’s chances to industrialize by 2020 →

How will China view the new maritime strategy?

AMTI – The military services responsible for American seapower (Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard) recently released their new maritime strategy, entitled“Forward, Engaged, Ready: A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower.”  The reviews thus far have been positive, with most analysts praising the specificity of the document, as compared to its 2007 predecessor, as well as its harder, more combat-oriented edge.  One set of reviewers have yet to be heard from, however, and that is the large and garrulous community of Chinese military analysts.  This analysis attempts to anticipate what that reaction will be.

One of indication of how the Chinese military community will react is its past history.  The 2007 strategy did not name China as a challenge or threat, nor did it particularly focus on Chinese strategies already being discussed in navalist circles for denying U.S. freedom of action.  As the Team Lead for the production of that document, I was privy to high level conversations about the degree to which the document should “name names.”  Continue reading How will China view the new maritime strategy? →

AMTI – Since 2014, China has attracted tremendous regional and international attention through its land reclamation activities in some features of the Spratlys which it controls, namely Gaven Reef, Cuarteron Reef, Johnson South Reef and Fiery Cross. While many have criticisms and concerns, China feels this reclamation is necessary in order to keep up with others in the Spratlys who have earlier occupied features in the disputed Spratlys and built up military and civil facilities since.

aucegypt.edu – The Vietnam War or Second Indochina War—known in Vietnam as the American War—was one of the most destructive conflicts in history, and ended with a triumphant victory for Ho Chi Minh’s Communist forces and the most humiliating military defeat the United States has ever experienced. If a single image represents the historical drama, perhaps it is the one of the Huey helicopter evacuating American personnel and Vietnamese associates from a U.S. embassy building rooftop.

Land grab in Ukraine is Monsanto’s backdoor to the EU

Leave a comment

Mon, Apr 6, 2015

By ORIENTAL REVIEW

The quest for Ukraine’s legendary black earth is almost complete. To the dismay of French, Polish, German farmers, the multinational agricultural corporation Monsanto, as well as DuPont Pioneer and John Deere, have all lobbied for access to the largest agricultural market in Eastern Europe. This will soon reshape the market for agricultural products in the EU and spell ruin for Europe’s farmers.

In Nov. 2013, the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation drafted a legal amendment that will benefitglobal ag producers by allowing the widespread use of genetically modified seeds. Taking a backseat to the dramatic political developments there, this turn of events went almost unnoticed, although Monsanto has been lobbying within Ukraine’s agricultural market for quite a while. Back in 2007 the US embassy in Kiev demanded that the Ukrainian government take action against sellers of “fake” seeds (i.e., producers competing with Trans National Corporations — TNCs).
