The daily English newspaper gives a pretty good view of important events and occurences, all told through the eyes and words of the country's one and only news agency - Vietnam News Agency. Normally, it seems like a perfect country, in the middle of some kind of never ending, nothing but positive economic boom and general development. If there is ever a problem, it is normally caused either by natural causes, external forces or, possibly, some weak individual's failure. In all other senses, it is a fantastic country. Its people, potiticians and, above all, Party, working side by side to make everything even better. Totally ok to read and pretty nicely and professionally packaged for being propaganda.
