Hello Kolayu,

Welcome to Vietnam. I live in Ho Chi Minh City. If you have two weeks, you can visit may places. Check out Vietnam Tourism Website (http://vietnamtourism.com) to have further information. There are also open tours from the South to the North with Sinh Cafe (http://www.sinhcafe.com/). It's really good. I myself sometimes travel with them.

Doi moy puts economic development as more of a priority above other things. It's really the same in China (but I don't know if they have a real name for it). They've just embraced capitalism and whatever goes along with it. The core of the political system itself is still the same though.

Hi, Kolayu. There is an article on Doi moi (Đổi mới): "Đổi" is "to change", "mới" is "new": "Change new"

Here is a part of the article:

The whole article is here: http://www.vnagency.com.vn/html/special2_ta/special2_ta.asp?NewsID=176548

So what is Doi Moi?


The two words "Doi Moi" themselves are not new. As early as the first years of the last century, a number of Vietnamese patriots had initiated the "Duy Tan" theory, the exact meaning of which was "Doi Moi". President Ho Chi Minh has also used these words many times in his writings and speeches. In his letter to Vietnamese young people on September 2, 1965, he wrote, "Over the past 11 years, the north has continually developed and renewed."

Nevertheless, at the end of the 1970's and early 1980's, when the country's socio-economic situation underwent a crisis with numerous difficulties, the words "Doi Moi" were used with a new meaning and immediately attracted special attention from the public, although the Doi Moi process then mainly focused on economic management. It wasn't until the sixth Party Congress that Doi Moi was discussed in every field and became the Party's political guideline.

At first, Doi Moi was understood as separate, concrete actions aimed at changing certain realities, and a circumstantial solution to the socio-economic crisis, but gradually, it became clear that it was a major political decision, a revolutionary strategy of the governing party aimed at comprehensive national development in a new period.

Practically speaking, the process aims to overcome the country's socio-economic crisis by launching a comprehensive renewal plan, covering economic, political, cultural, social, national defence, security, and foreign affairs domains, in order to escape the country from the list of less developed nations and to gradually industrialise and modernise the country to keep up with other countries in the world.

[Khatores]

What I think a lot of "third world" nations might be overlooking in their rush to develop is that industrialization is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. However, you don't realize that until you're stuck with it and it's too late. If you get rich but lose your family, society, and ultimately your soul, what's the point? :?

[giang]

Absolutely agreed. I usually told my students that "being rich" and "having a good life" are two different things, that sometimes (not always fortunately) are in conflict. In my opinion, "third world" nations should think about not going too fast but keeping a high quality of life: lowly polluted environment, high security, stressless.

I'm happy that Vietnam is still not too fast and there are still green spaces for people. Take your bike and run 30 minutes from the city center, you can still see the green color. It's still not bad.
