I see Lam has just got another 5 years at the top and they're talking about making him president, so like Xi Jinping.

Documentary on Vietnam's Leader.

Carl Robinson <robinso...@gmail.com>: Jan 27 09:35AM +1100 Here's a Substack I've written after viewing a new documentary, *General: Vietnam in the age of To Lam, *from a young American journalist Laura Brickman that is now making the rounds in the diaspora. Quite critical. And for those following things in today's Vietnam as closely as I do, it's a good summary of what's led up to the country's now one-man leadership under hard-liner To Lam.   And for those in Bangkok, the FCCT will be screening this documentary tomorrow evening, Wednesday 28th, with Laura also in attendance and I strongly urge you to be there.   The General: Vietnam's Police State revealed. <https://carlrobinson.substack.com/p/the-general-vietnams-police-state>   Best regards,   Carl
