General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is the most powerful figure in the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam today. Talking about political tricks, Mr. Trong is also number one. Although he is old and weak, no force can oust this nearly 80-year-old old man out of politics. No one in the party has taken advantage of populism as well as Trong. He has defeated many enemies, and at the same time received a lot of praise from the gullible people. Although his burning campaign could not clean the party and the government apparatus as well as has not returned money to the people, they still praised him as “the great furnace man” or “Bac Ha scholar” etc…
In the political arena, Mr. Trong has a strong stance, but with non-political characters, sometimes, Mr. Trong is gently deceived. High mountains have higher mountains than that. In the political field, Mr. Trong is the king, but in the economic field, Mr. Trong is just a “naive old man.”
Remember, on November 14, Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong visited the VinFast automobile production complex project in Dinh Vu economic zone, Hai Phong. In order to invite Mr. Trong, of course, it is not easy. VinFast’s bosss Pham Nhat Vuong drew up a project in which Vietnam can be self-sufficient in technology. Because of being humiliated as bad management of the country, after 42 years of liberation, but Vietnam could not produce snails, the Communist Party, and especially Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong, also wanted to grab some project, to “slap the reactionaries in the face.” Therefore, the VinFast project appears as a big buoy for the party.
At the construction site of the VinFast factory, Mr. Trong said that the implementation time was short but VinFast had achieved some initial achievements. Especially the gathering of a team of leading experts in the world, with extensive experience in the field of automobile manufacturing, participating in research and production management. At that time, the press said, “The General Secretary believes that VinFast will continue to effectively implement the next steps; especially the speeding up of factory construction, recruitment and training of personnel; actively cooperate with leading domestic and foreign partners to conduct research and select technology solutions for VinFast’s first car series to be launched at the end of 2018 – with electric motorbikes, and at the end of the year. 2019 – with cars.” In general, Mr. Trong believes in VinFast as a pioneering enterprise, breaking the curse “Vietnam cannot produce snails.”
The fact that VinFast hired Launch Design Company in Shanghai China to research and develop the whole VF e34 electric car, and at the same time, hire this company to be responsible for finding and supplying components, has been exposed. This shows that Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong brought back Chinese goods and labeled them Vietnamese, not self-sufficient in technology as VinFast informed General Secretary Trong. Obviously, Mr. Trong was tricked by VinFast’s boss. Not only Mr. Trong was deceived, but the party was also deceived.
In fact, if Mr. Trong had some understanding, he wouldn’t be so easily lured. Let’s see, how far is the auxiliary technology for Vietnam’s auto industry? In this respect, Vietnam is far behind Thailand, however, Thailand still does not make its own cars. No matter where your strength is, you will develop there, that is the path of sustainable development.
In May, at the General Meeting of Shareholders, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong said that “If it is only for money, VinGroup is not foolish to make cars.” So, if not for money, what does Mr. Vuong do for? Perhaps it is because of the false reputation for the Communist Party and also because of the virtual position for VinFast.
Technology development must have big brain and supporting industries. These things cannot be obtained in a day or two. In technology, there is no “miracle” which perhaps Mr. Trong does not know? Therefore, he was so delusional, so easy to believe Pham Nhat Vuong.
