NAMVIET Times - Today, I read facebooker and blogger Me Nam’s story with a lot of anxiety.
On September 12, 2012, Nguyen Tan Dung declared war on Vietnamese bloggers by issuing a government decree that prohibits government employees from reading blogs Dan Lam Bao, Quan Lam Bao, and Bien Dong.
Blog Dan Lam Bao has been reporting anything that the government aka Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP) forbids, i.e. corruption and dissidence.
Blog Quan Lam Bao started( in July 2012) although reportedly champions for the anti-corruption cause, only reports corruption cases that are related to Nguyen Tan Dung, his son Nguyen Thanh Nghi, his daughter Nguyen Thanh Phuong and her husband (Harvard-trained) Nguyen Bao Hoang.
Blog Bien Dong only discusses about South China Sea disputes, between China and Vietnam, the Philippines. Pictures and videos showing Vietnamese or Filipino demonstrators against China are strictly forbidden by the VCP.
