Fulbright College Vietnam was immediately labeled by the extremist public opinion forces of the Communist Propaganda Division as a reactionary nest established by america, with the purpose of coaching forces to hold out a “shade revolution” and overthrow the Communist regime in Vietnam.
The Tet Offensive on the Web
The supply of the story was mentioned by one of many propaganda websites that Bangladesh had a revolution that overthrew the federal government and elected Mr. Muhammad Yunus because the chief of the interim authorities. The commentators have been screaming that Mr. Muhammad Yunus had additionally obtained a scholarship from the Fulbright system. From that, it was inferred that Fulbright College in Vietnam was extraordinarily harmful! The incident occurred as immediately because the communists’ flip of face within the assault on the Republic of Vietnam authorities in the course of the Tet Offensive in 1968.
For a number of days, the Communist Propaganda Division launched a “common assault” on social networking websites, calling on the federal government to research the social and civic coaching applications of Fulbright College in Vietnam. All of the feedback appeared to verify that this faculty was established by america to plot a “shade revolution” to overthrow the communist regime in Vietnam.

Maybe the Vietnamese Communist Occasion has seized energy many occasions because of the usage of “mass energy” and thru this expertise, they’re very afraid of the reasonable and progressive democratic actions which can be utilizing their voices and energy to vary the regime.
“Coloration Revolution” is the title that communists gave to unarmed coups and peaceable protests that helped many nations escape dictatorship, equivalent to in Czechoslovakia in 1989 and Yugoslavia in 2000.
Dozens of social networking websites managed by propaganda equivalent to Tifosi, Anti-reactionary, Purple Flag, “Without end following the social gathering”… have labeled Fulbright College as a “nest of shade revolution.” From there, the general public opinion forces have posted numerous video clips on Tik Tok defaming Fulbright Vietnam, and even went to the college’s Fb web page to curse.
Not stopping at Fulbright College, the Communist Occasion of Vietnam’s public opinion forces additionally attacked different applications sponsored by america equivalent to Yseali (Younger Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Scholarship), USAID (United States Company for Worldwide Improvement)…
Upgraded diplomatic relations, however nonetheless enemies
Fulbright is a college 100% funded by the US authorities, coaching bachelors based on the liberal training program. Specifically, communist state officers are 100% sponsored with scholarships when finding out the grasp’s program in public coverage at this faculty. The full funding for all the program is about 525 million VND/individual.
As initially dedicated, Fulbright educated human assets to assist the Vietnamese authorities govern the nation scientifically, offering free coaching with the hope of pushing Vietnam into the civilized world. However with resentment and worry in its coronary heart, Hanoi noticed enemies in every single place making an attempt to overthrow its regime.
Instantly after being attacked, Fulbright College issued an announcement about this false data. The assertion, posted on August 14 on the college’s Fb web page, mentioned: “Fulbright College Vietnam is the results of the long-term goodwill of cooperation between Vietnam and america with the continual robust assist from the very best leaders of the 2 nations. Fulbright’s academic rules are constructed on a dedication to serve Vietnam and completely respect the legal guidelines of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.”

USAID, the group that was “contaminated” with assaults on this event, is the US support company that helps nations escape poverty… USAID helps Vietnam with a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of {dollars} to reduce the affect of local weather change, sustainable improvement, human useful resource improvement, well being infrastructure improvement, and response to infectious ailments…
In 2019, USAID supplied $50 million to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities in Vietnam. In 2021, in the course of the outbreak of the Chinese language flu, USAID supplied $9.5 million to assist Vietnam combat the pandemic. In 2022, USAID supplied $65 million to assist Vietnam combat local weather change and fight wildlife trafficking. Additionally in 2022, USAID supplied $100 million in technical help to assist Vietnam develop its personal economic system.
Regardless of receiving cash, the Vietnamese Communist Occasion nonetheless permits public opinion makers to put in writing articles “criticizing” USAID. As within the case of 2021, when it obtained $9.5 million in funding to combat the pandemic, Vietnamese propaganda claimed that “free cheese from the US is usually in a mousetrap.” Doing a favor and getting harm, the communists all the time think about the goodwill of america as a “plot” and a “trick” to trigger inside turmoil in Vietnam.
Simply think about, you reside in a dilapidated shack, you’re unemployed, your youngsters are uneducated, missing meals and clothes, and somebody involves construct you a home, train you a commerce, offer you capital to start out a enterprise, give your youngsters cash for college, meals, milk, garments… and all of it’s selfless, without having to be repaid. In case you are handled like that, try to be grateful, why would you doubt and curse? Is that the standard type of the Vietnamese communist authorities?
Maybe no nation on the earth, which has diplomatic relations with Vietnam at such a excessive stage as america, is all the time thought-about a hostile drive. The federal government all the time encourages extremist forces to curse endlessly, regardless of when. This reveals part of the two-faced overseas coverage of the Communist Occasion of Vietnam, with the attractive title of “bamboo diplomacy.”
Certainly, on the earth, solely the Communist Occasion of Vietnam is so deformed.
