Yo Ryan Boston, you forgot to mention this part of the article:

"Intel knows it faces a tough challenge helping Vietnam upgrade its industrial base. The biggest worry is finding enough qualified engineers. The company recently tested 2,000 graduating Vietnamese students. Only 90 were able to score at least 60 percent on the standard exam, and half of those failed an English competency review."

Great education under the Communist system.

90/2000 = 4.5% of graduates score 60%?

Maybe you guys need to stop learning a bit less about HMC and more about math and sciences?

Thanks 0ChoDe 0LaHCM, for those infos. Very interesting.

What you got against them?
Anyway, why would they want people to fail the test, they're investing $1B. in there right?

However if Intel gives a test about Ho Cho Ming, where he was born, what the sucker altar name, who the sucker love to suck, as well as if socialism is much better than capitalism. Then they all would score 100%
You guys know what the sucker said? He said it needs 100 years to brainwash a vnese until all the grey matter in his/her brain become red matter.
That what it matters to Ho and VCs

They failed because they learn Marxism and assLicking-ism in the morning and watched stupid cheap Chin KungFu in the eve.
However Intel told the gang leaders that if you guys rob me, I will withdraw! So the gang chiefs told Intel not to worry, they only rob other companies, not Intel.

Hey bro,

We are where we are.

Let just take a min. imagine and put you in the shoes of those who are making this buz decision. What would you do before making such move that could reshape a whole economy of 70B +.

Yay yay yay.

The Elders have been sleeping for more than 3 decades. Don’t tell me you are the same.

Wake up and smell the coffee, would you?

Every where VCs put up the sign Khu Van Hoa (Civilized Neighborhood), here is the proof of "Civilized Neighborhood" under VCs. Can Vnese be civilized under the murderous/robbery regime? The answer is NO!

A party secretary of one province asks a kid
"If there are 2 bags dropped on the road, one contains money and the other morality, then which bag you would take?"
The kid replys "I would take the bag of money"
The Commie secretary says "I would take the bag of morality"
The kid says back "Well, I think whatever one needs then he would take what he needs!"

Vietnam Today, Princeton Journeys

February 16-27, 2008. An optional post-trip extension to Cambodia is available to see the temples of Angkor, built during the height of the Khmer civilization and one of humankind's most astonishing architectural achievements.


Steeped in a history of powerful dynasties, diverse religious traditions, and political transformations, Vietnam is emerging from its years of isolation and beckons the sophisticated traveler to visit now. Join your fellow Princetonians as we travel to Vietnam, February 16-23, 2008, to see the country as it is today.

Beautiful and lush, the landscape hosts emerald green rice fields and the remnants of ancient temples, and its cities fuse French colonial architecture and ancient dynastic elements. In Hanoi tour the Museum of Ethnology, visit the city’s Old Quarter aboard rickshaw-like cyclos, and delight in exclusive meetings to learn about the countries traditional and contemporary arts. In Hué, explore the Citadel and the Forbidden Purple City, and stroll amid the pavilions of the Royal Tombs. Become acquainted with the charms of historic Hoi An, and the tree-lined boulevards of Saigon.

We've also included some special features, including visits to Princeton-related enterprises, a Vietnamese cooking class, and free time for independent exploration in this welcoming land. This program features historic hotels and boutique resorts throughout this journey so you may enjoy Indochina in style.

Please note: We ran this program in 2006 and it was a sell-out. We anticipate this one selling quickly, too.

Big projects launch in southern Dong Nai

Several projects worth more than US$1.2 billion in total broke ground in the southern Dong Nai Province, 28 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, this week.

Two new road projects, the Long Hung-Phuoc Tan road and the An Hoa-Huong Lo road, as well as two property projects in Long Hung Hamlet, were opened.

The $750-million Waterfront Dong Nai City, a joint venture between Dong Nai Agriculture Services Co-Operative union (DonaCoop), An Phu Long Joint Stock Company (APL) and Singapore’s Ports Ville Ltd, an affiliate of Keppel Land, was the biggest project opened Thursday.

The waterfront town on the Dong Nai River will comprise an ecological township with apartments and villas, a resettlement zone, hotel and tourism facilities, and public works.

The project is located near HCMC’s Hi-Tech Park in District 9, home to Intel’s new $1 billion facility that is under development.

VIETNAM TO START BULIDING $6 BILLION OIL REFINERY

Source: Bloomberg

Vietnam set to start construction of a US$6 billion oil refinery this week, in the central Thanh Hoa Province, in a bid to become self-sufficient in oil products.

The Nghi Son refinery, to be operational by 2013, is designed to produce 2.1 million tons of gasoline of 92, 95 and 98 octane grades, 2.67 million tons of diesel, 790,000 tons of kerosene and jet fuel as well as 500,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) annually.

The state-run oil group PetroVietnam holds a 25.1 percent stake in the plant while Japanese refiner Idemitsu Kosan Co. and Kuwait Petroleum International each maintain a 35.1 percent stake.

A fourth partner, Mitsui Chemicals Inc., takes a 4.7 percent share in the project.

Vietnam’s first refinery, the 140,000 barrels per day (bpd) Dung Quat facility – 100 percent-owned by the government – is scheduled to go on stream in 2009

Oil project runs for ever. 6B project means VCs will steal 2B out of it. Ppl have been continue to suffer for another 63 years of colonialism by Viet Congs.

EXPORTS TO US TO HIT 13 BILLION USD IN 2008

Viet Nam ’s exports to the US are forecast to reach 13 billion USD or more in 2008, representing a yearly increase of 28 percent, said the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT).

Garment and textiles will continue to top the list of key hard currency earners as its export turnover is expected to attain 5.4 billion USD this year, surging 25.6 percent against 2007.

Seafood is expected to fetch 850 million USD, up 14.9 percent, while woodwork will bring home 1.1 billion USD, soaring 23.6 percent.

Around 120,000 tonnes of coffee will be shipped to the US this year, earning between 192-200 million USD.

The ministry also forecasts this year’s export turnover to the whole American market will reach 14.6 billion USD, a 25.2 percent increase over last year.

No shit ! because the Language ( English ) barrier ? if that is the case I could understand , but I though it was " the peak of knowlege " !

Education under commies suck. Commies are too busy to steal and too greedy to give some to education. The kids are too poor and living conditions are bad. Some have to go to China to sell kidneys or sell blood. The picture is bleak.
But VCs are happy to get super rich with the land, and kids have to live like slaves. Besides they have to spend sometimes to lick ass the murderers too!

Ho dong is the same as toilet paper. Now Viet Cong stock certificates are going to be the same as toilet papers. Too bad that many Vnese were cheated by VCs to buy toilet papers
