The deceptive promise of free trade

Deustch Welle, Published on Jun 6, 2018

Global trade is a hot topic of the G7 summit in Canada. Is free trade truly free – and fair? What roles do US President Trump, economic powerhouse China, and the EU play in global trade?

When it comes to global trade, it would seem that trickery, threats and deception are the order of the day – yet all this takes place largely beyond the reach of the public eye.

Vietnam is located on the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. The country’s total length is 1,650 kilometers from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. Vietnam has a diverse topography consisting of hills, mountains, deltas, coastline, and continental shelf. The topography is lower from the Northwest to the Southeast.

The peddler girl from Sa Pa who made it big

VNE – October 9, 2018 | 01:22 pm GMT+7

She was named by Forbes Vietnam as one of the 30 most influential under-thirty in the country.

Tan Thi Shu was born in 1986 in a poor H’Mong family in Sa Pa, a beautiful mountainous town in the northern province of Lao Cai.

Her family was in fact so poor it could only afford one meal a day. She started working at the age of 12, selling brocade fabric. A year later, like most of her peers, she became a peddler in Sa Pa.

Her mind was always teeming with unanswered questions: “Why are my parents so poor? Why am I different from the rest? Why can’t I go to school and have the same opportunities as others? Wherever I go, I can’t find anyone else who looks like me…”.

Prayer 543

The prayer series

Jesus,

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is not good for us.

ISDS is a mechanism
that allows foreign investors
to bring claims against host governments
to an international arbitral tribunal.

ISDS is a postcolonial relic that should be abolished.

Before abolishing ISDS,
please protect our government.
Give our government your wisdom
and help our government stand firmly
no matter how strong the ISDS storm is.

We trust you.

Amen.

Khun was just one of many who have benefited from the joint cooperation between Việt Nam and Cambodia in the medical sector.
