well, since i was a vietnam veteran, i've read books about vietnam for years. most recently i read max hastings wonderful history, where he recalls vietnam an epic tragedy, which it certainly was. and it a tragedy that's still casting ripples across the world today. and so i was familiar with many of the themes of the war and many of the things we could have done better. and i also love the quiet american, and i thought there might be a niche for a book that a veteran that was not a combat novel. there are lots of tremendous books by tim o'brien and, karl marlantes, many other jim webb, many other people that are basically about combat experiences of the protagonists and i thought it would be fun to write a mystery set in vietnam that would try to capture some of the cross-currents of american opinion and the anti-war movement at the time. now, are any of the principal characters in killing grace based on you knew from that period? yes, several of them are. we had an interpreter at our unit in south vietnam in the delta, who was? chinese. vietnamese. he had up

he inherits this policy on south vietnam or vietnam.i want to talk about continuities and structures is but one thing that's frustrating at least from my perspective today, is that kennedy, the candidate, had a different or more subtle view of wars of national liberation or national liberation movements. post-world war two than, say, eisenhower. right. he had some respect for people's attempts to establish independence from colonialism. he even was in vietnam in the 1950s, where he kind of concluded was not a war for us to fight. john f kennedy like other senators and even, you know, members of the eisenhower administration, realized that colonialism was a losing proposition. all the empires were being broken up and the post-world war two environment, everybody wanted independence and we recognized that south vietnam needed independence in order for the people to rally against the communists. but at the same time, south vietnam never really had independence because it was utterly dependent on american aid for its survival. we paid for m

as you say, vietnam caught in somewhat of the l vietnam caught in somewhat of the us china tensions butl disputes with china over south china sea. to with china over south china sea. if? most vocal states as with india, when they tried to negotiate the dispute with china. in the past ten years we have seen china growing, more willing to use power to vietnam. forthe more willing to use power to vietnam. for the better process with the other states. at the same time vietnam and china are both one—party states so they played out the disagreement trying now to show the public they actually have sometimes common interests in maintaining security. would not be a big obstacle... security. would not be a big obstacle. . ._ security. would not be a big obstacle... ., ~ . ., obstacle... thank you so much for “oininu us obstacle... thank you so much for joining us on _ obstacle... thank you so much for joining us on newsday _ obstacle... thank you so much for joining us on newsday today. - obstacle... thank you so much for joining us on newsday today. my i joining us on newsday today. my pleasure.

we also work with vietnam and thailand. you, this was ambassador extraordinary plenipotentiary of belarus to vietnam vladimir borovikov. now are the results of trading in belarusian currencies. on the stock exchange, our ruble strengthened against the dollar and yuan. so, the following rates have been established: dollar 3 rubles. 17 cop. for 10 yuannii at the auction they gave 4 rubles 42 kopecks. 3.51 costs 100 russian rubles. and the euro exchange rate according to the national bank is 3 rubles 43 kopecks. this is an area of ​​interest. now there is a short advertisement, further in the program from auto production to biotechnology. belarus and china are setting records in mutual trade and benefits for investors. who can count on what, let's look at the new legislation. belarus captivated them at first sight. i came from syria, came here to study, entered the medical university and remained alive here, for the first time i saw belarusian people and how friends talked to them. belarus and china are setting records in mutu

-vietnam relations. only this year did vietnam and the u.s.he same level that vietnam and china have had for 15 years. so it is sort of a different level of closeness. and there is certainly not that aspect of party to party relations. even a party secretary-general meeting another party secretary-general is intimate. it is different in terms of the nature of the visit. i think both are important on their own merits and reflective of specific sets of bilateral relationships. i think the president -- biden's visit in september attracted perhaps more attention globally because it was such a milestone given the and vietnam's relationship -- given the u.s. and vietnam's relationship trajectory. this visit was quite important as well, but the two communist neighbors have had quite a close relationship for some time already. shery: how would you say hanoi has been balancing the relationship with these two superpowers which are engaged in geopolitical rivalry and tensions? huong: given that vietnam actually fought wars with both the giants in living

she actually is going on in paris to end the vietnam war. and 1968. it was already been a horrible difficult, but it got the last, it's another almost 7 years actually. uh, and he got information from the insiders who were negotiating in paris and he said it to nixon and nixon was able to use it to sabotage. they undermine the negotiations. they told that you government, that he would be much more supportive, much friendlier, that they shouldn't negotiate with that the north vietnam reason given to those terms. the final terms that the united states negotiated 5 years later and 1973 were very, very similar to what we could have gotten in 1968. but they would have bins, tens of thousands of americans more alive. and they would have been probably $1.00 to $2000000.00 vietnamese more alive, and we don't realize that. but i had robert mcnamara come into my class a few years ago. mcnamara said that mcknight was a former secretary defense. that was also considered the architect of the vietnam, moore and mac marriage said that he accepted that 3800000 in vie

roman golovchenko with his colleague and the president of vietnam. negotiations started at within the framework of the official visit of the delegation. literally before our eyes, the familiar system of international relations is being transformed into a new world order , new players are emerging in the international arena, the influence of primarily regional organizations is growing, all this is happening against the backdrop of countries recovering from the consequences of the pandemic, but unfortunately we note that in international relations... we consider belarus an important partner and will develop ties for the well-being of the peoples of our countries. mutual trade turnover is growing. behind last year the total volume was 180 million dollars, in 9 months this is already 200 million. today, the countries are ready to search for new areas of cooperation. currently taking place in ha chiminh city. the vietnam expo exhibition, where almost four dozen of our companies take part. during the first day of work , contracts worth $26 million were sig

but everything about the vietnam war was savage. and then later, the united states is going to begin bombing the north again. so the kissinger's policy with nick's and was one of the vietnam ization. the idea was if we can pull most of the american troops out and let the vietnamese take over a. meanwhile, we'll just try to bomb them back to the stone age. that would be the best, the united states to get away with their and yeah, what it is, is one of the worst atrocities in human history. now we, we, we, dr. yeah, absolutely. i mean, it was rumored that his orders were to take down anything that moves or anything that flies at all gets shot then. yeah. what you're referred to, as you mentioned before, is that the united states had been bombing in louse since 1964. but that accelerated enormously under kissinger and nixon. and we also be and bombing in cambodia, supposedly to test drive a north vietnamese sanctuaries in cambodia. and the amount of bombing that we did in those 2 countries is, was truly obscene. and what if it didn't d

in vietnam, the chinese president xijinping is due in vietnam, the chinese president xi jinping is dues there for two days, and the visit is aimed at strengthening ties with its southern neighbour. china is already vietnam's largest investor. this year, registered investment from mainland china and hong kong combined, doubled to more than $8 billion. that's compared to

$3800000.00 vietnam. it just died . and that fighting 3800000 and kissed drive the hand in a lot of that. and so when the he and nixon get in there, they immediately have this very, very aggressive policy operation, doc hook, which is going to be a massive bombing policy that was described as a savage bobby policy. and they were even options for use of nuclear weapons. unfortunately, there was such shoes, protest, and that full of 1969 that nixon was forced to or is actually, yeah. is it that the fall that next was forced to abandon that policy, but kissinger was all in on this viciously savage policy. but everything about the vietnam war was savage. and then later, the united states is going to begin bombing the north again. so the kissinger's policy with nick's and was one of vietnam ization. the idea was if we can pull most of the american troops out and let the vietnamese take over a. meanwhile, we'll just try to bomb them back to the stone age. that would be the best, the united states to get away wi

belarusians in vietnam, we offer new areas of cooperation, study the tastes of buyers, requests from our enterprises at the vietnam expo exhibition. abroad they do not understand the real scale of the tragedy and genocide of belarusians, and the falsification of history and the extermination of civilians in belarus during the war years were discussed at an international conference. ukrainian blockade checkpoints, conflict of interests, fatigue of european farmers from the influx of cheap ukrainian products and the shortest hunger strike in history, details in the periodic table. it’s friday evening and a million belarusians will watch the first live broadcast of the country’s most talented show. despite climate conflicts and the total tension of planetary misunderstanding, belarus and china continue to surprise and demonstrate to the world how you can get along and be partners, find a common language. views, despite the distance, difference cultures, scale. this is all about the results of our president’s working visit to the middle kingdom and about our cooperation in principle, the

o, the known in vietnam, the american war, the vietnam war lost it for almost 2 decades and drained in numerous countries. not any time, right? now and then you don't see it now. why didn't all i'm empty? hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to back the south vietnamese on me. and that's on top of that not, but the american soldiers, limited resistors mercilessly burned down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals and lee by all right. did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did and on the vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yeah, yeah, yeah, that's, that's a ways to but yeah, the, it's been planned, organized, it is now being carried out according to the technology's principles and schemes of the so called might on revolutions, rushes out baset of the soviet, says president alexandro, boot church has proof that the overnight protests and valid great will over straighten by certain western players as officials, tool comparisons with a 2014 might on coo and ukraine. authority say at least 70 people are killed and then is really stripe hold

vietnam already has a partnership with china. coming from that angle, vietnam is a key beneficiary. theme. we are seeing chinese companies exporting and expanding into southeast asia. the fact that the chinese president is heading there after biden made a trip, how significant is that? rishaad: it is not come as a surprise at all. biden was in vietnam just a couple of months ago. they have a relationship, a partnership, which is a big deal for the u.s. they not only have a partnership with china, india, south korea, japan. vietnam as a neighbor of china and has important trade initiatives with china. this is not come as a surprise. it is a signal from vietnam that it is not listening to any global power. they have relationships with china and the u.s. they want to send a signal. even though it is dependent on both countries. rishaad: it is so trade dependent. you have a slowdown in china taking place. the u.s. could be facing fairly anemic growth in 2024. how does it affect this country? is it the biggest headwind in your positive you? >> absolutely. very trade dependent. especially

o, the the known in vietnam as the american war, the vietnam war. last, it's almost 2 decades and dragged in numerous countries. not any time we have now, and then you don't really know why it's all on empty. hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to back the south vietnamese on me. i got the american soldiers, limited resistors mercilessly burned down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals. and lee laid up today by all right. did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did and on the vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yes, yes, that's the way it's too late. to the, at least 17 people all killed in a single is really a strike on them. a gauzy refugee thompson essential thought. the as, according to local authorities, we have from the supply the of the attack, the husband and his sons were all killed. it is all charging civilians where the old song gets the disturbing images from the southern paul tapia in place where an idea to talk claims to at least 20 products in your life. also have a.

it was to be the 1st spring of the 2nd republic of vietnam. the crew proposed by the communist. the north vietnamese seemed to promise the people of safe holiday for you from the ever present. anxiety of war leaves the new year, families praise the they offer there and i pray that he might be restored to their home. this year, however, the traditional fire tankers, the defendant celebration, became the play over the me. all day guy, all the right. you did the to pay a lot cooking at night. the black boots don't want to complete the boat. don't weigh more dollars. my god, stop on. yeah. but i'm going to wait. lucky if i can come. probably a good time. really. a young lady comes up as all that all go get hold on the site at night. oh yeah, yeah. no, no. come on the the way to let you know that right now i do that stuff. they do it at the top from when they've been cutting some phone number here. yeah. so it may not be your number. they have 10 miles. it's really crazy. and then to say he took the class, come up the don't wait on snuggles. the goals that come from florida and that

china is already vietnam's biggest investor.s year, registered investment from mainland china and hong kong combined doubled to more than $8 billion. that's compared to 2022 when pandemic restrictions were still in place in china. but with the us pushing to grow its influence in the region, beijing is also clinging to deepen relations with hanoi even further. raji biswas from s&p global market intelligence describes what's at stake for both countries. i think it's very much reflecting the importance of vietnam for china economically and of course it's an important neighbour as well. so, the political relationship, i think that will be important in terms of president xi's visit to strengthen bilateral ties further. but also, vietnam has become increasingly important in its own right as an export market for china. it's now the fifth—largest export market for china and it's grown tremendously over the last 25 years as vietnam has become more and more important as a manufacturing hub for other countries. so i think enhancing economi
