Vietnam's snub of international scholars.

[Carl Robinson]

Remember our gig back in Saigon for the 50th anniversary and still waiting for our travel reimbursements?   Take a look how they treated these academics for the recent 7th International Conference on Vietnamese Studies! 

The first scholar quoted in this piece as somebody we all know as he's posted it on his own Facebook & Vsg.   Shit-house hotel to boot. 

Things aren't going too well up in today's Vietnam, folks, and we've all got to pay closer attention in the lead-up to next January's big communist party confab and party leader's got everyone really nervous.
