Vietnam unanimously elected Communist Party General Secretary To Lam as president for a five-year term, consolidating his control over both the party and the state.
The move departs from Vietnam’s tradition of shared leadership, in which the jobs have typically been held by different people, and echoes power structures in China under Xi Jinping and neighboring Laos.
It has been widely expected since Lam’s reelection as Communist Party head in January, when observers noted that his consolidation of party authority positioned him to assume the presidency as well.
As in education? Yes. Yes I did.
If a news source posts something so incredibly stupidly, unwaveringly blindly evil and suggests that a country that happens to be your country’s rival is doing it, maybe stop. Check out the ‘news’ source, who created it and its motivations, and then maybe check to see how much logical sense something makes.
The most “evil” people on Earth still operate purely and solely logically. It is their own logic, but they still operate rationally. Non-rational people cannot keep nor really attain power, much less power over 1.6 billion people.
So if something seems completely illogical, then maybe the people reporting it aren’t good at reporting (best case scenario) or are trying to get you to believe a narrative and don’t care if it makes sense since their target audience is the most gullible (worst case scenario.)
With 1.6 billion people, 1.6 billion sets of eyes who have been trained since birth to overthrow corrupt governments and have been taught explicitly how to recognize corruption… maybe there’s some reason why their government has 80+% support out of that group. Maybe there’s a reason why one of the most educated populaces on Earth choose to support an ‘autocratic’ government.
But that just might be crazy propaganda and definitely the people that say Mao ate babies and Dr. Xi Jinping definitely was just a billionaire nepo baby that barged into the people’s congress one day and shot anyone that disagreed with his declaration of making himself omniking… maybe those people are right.
I already know you’re fucking stupid, no need to convince me anymore
