Vietnam is expected to surpass Thailand to become Southeast Asia's second largest economy this year.

Vietnam going from poor to developed, is an absolute triumph of the Marxist central planning model.

In 2025, Trump’s second-term policies, including aggressive U.S. tariffs, a trade war with China and inconsistent commitments to allies, disrupted economic and security trends that are expected to continue in 2026. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/16/world/washington-transform-asia-in-2025-2026/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #us #china #asia #shinzoabe #vietnam #japan #australia #europe #thailand #xijinping #sanaetakaichi #taiwan #myanmar #cambodia

“Pfade und Wege” / Paths and ways

Ninh Bình province, Vietnam.

#photography #landscape #Vietnam

Photo of a curved walkway of weathered wooden planks, snaking over a wide lake as it recedes into the distance. The lake is still, with the stalks of aquatic plants breaking the surface and green leaves floating on the water. Tiny figures of people can be seen walking along the path at the far end. Hilly limestone formations covered in green foliage rise beyond the walkway, reflected in the lake’s surface. The sky above is overcast with glimmers of sunlight breaking through.

“In der Innenstadt” / In the city center

The dragons of Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard, facing Ho Chi Minh City Hall, in Saigon, #Vietnam.

#photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #dragon #sculpture #publicart

Photo of a series of swooping arches over a wide pedestrian avenue receding to a building in the distance. The arches have scales and fins in hues of orange and green, and the arch at the far end bears a sculpted dragon’s head. The effect is of a dragon’s long body encircling the avenue, leading the eye to a statue of a man with one arm raised (Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh) in front of a palatial facade. Trees and shrubs line the sides of the avenue, and the sky seen through the dragon arches is blue with white clouds.

Vietnam’s rights suppression carries a heavy price
