Trump and Three Stripe Flag

Viet Kieu in North America here

My mom told me that Trump said something to the effect that there is only one flag of Vietnam, and his allies are no longer flying the three stripe flag. Theory is that Trump is trying to improve relations with the VN government. US is also building a huge new embassy in VN.

This blows me away, as many of the people who venerate that flag have also been strong Trump supporters.

I can’t read Vietnamese, and not finding anything on this in the English media.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Chúng ta cùng chờ xem giữa Luật rừng và "Tiếng Ong Ve" thì kết cục sẽ đi về đâu. Giờ các trang báo đều khóa comment, chứ nó mà mở thì chắc comment nhiều lắm.

Giải thích cho các bác nào chưa hiểu "Tiếng ong ve": khi dân bị ép xài xăng E10, nhiều bài post khui ra xe họ đổ E10 xong bị hư giữa đường, báo chính thống lên bài "Những lời ong, ve không làm ảnh hưởng đến việc thực thi chính sách".

An unjust death of a 18-year-old Vietnamese girl

The incident involving Nguyễn Sỹ Cương (former National Assembly deputy of the 13th–14th terms, who previously served as Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs Committee), who drove a BMW that struck and killed a female student born in 2007 (around 18 years old) in Hanoi in 2025.
Main sequence of events
Time and place: Around 1:00 p.m. on 30 May 2025, on Nguyễn Huy Tự Street, Hai Bà Trưng District, Hanoi.

Nguyễn Sỹ Cương (born 1961, approximately 64 years old at the time) was driving a BMW X3 with license plate 30H-369.09. The vehicle suddenly veered into the oncoming lane at high speed and collided with a motorcycle carrying a man (commonly referred to by the initials ĐVH or H) and his daughter.

Consequences: The father suffered a broken leg; the female student (full name often given as Đỗ Ngọc Phương Thùy or ĐNPT/Đỗ Ngọc Phương Thùy, born around 2007, 18 years old) had her right leg severed and sustained multiple severe injuries at the scene. The BMW then crashed into a roadside tree, severely damaging the front of the vehicle. The motorcycle was badly deformed, with debris scattered across the road.

The student was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment but did not survive. She died in the early morning of 8 June 2025 (about one week after the accident), just before the 2025 high-school graduation exam.

Initial handling and official information
Police tested Cương’s blood alcohol level and reported no violation.

State media initially referred to the driver only by the initials “NSC, born 1961, residing in Đống Đa District” and did not publish clear photographs. The case file was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Police Agency of Hanoi City Police for further handling.

According to multiple sources (including the Vietnamese Wikipedia and overseas media), more than a year later there has still been no clear public information regarding formal charges, detention, or the specific outcome of the investigation against Cương. Public opinion and some independent outlets have expressed suspicion that the case was being “buried.”

Background and reactions
Cương previously served as a National Assembly deputy for Ninh Thuận province (13th–14th terms), Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the 14th term, and earlier as Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Home Affairs. His wife is Lâm Thị Phương Thanh (former Secretary of the Lạng Sơn Provincial Party Committee, who later held a senior position at the Party Central Office; several months after the accident she was elected Secretary of the Party Committee of the Party Central Office).
The incident sparked strong public outrage on social media, with many posts demanding accountability and people placing flowers at the crash site (the tree the BMW hit) in memorial. Some overseas sources and social-media discussions have suggested that the slow or opaque handling of the case was linked to Cương’s status and family connections. Mainstream domestic media provided only limited coverage of his identity and subsequent developments after the initial reports.

Any recommendations for those who wants to live it DaNang?

Hello! I'm from Russia, and recently me and my mom have really got pissed off because of the situation in our country, war, crazy dictature and so on. We want to live in DaNang for, idk, 1-2 years just to calm down and relax from everyday stress. I am a teacher in a bilingual school, so I have an opportunity to work in an international school in Vietnam.

My question is: is it worth it? How do you live in DaNang? Is it calm, healthy life out there? Is there anyone who teach in international school? Is there anything I need to know? Thanks!

As a viet from OC, we need more viets in nyc

I visited nyc and I assumed that it had a lot of viets since it’s nyc, yk, lol…

But anyways I tried their viet food and it’s mediocre at best, despite it having a lot of viet restaurants around the city. I checked the viet population and it’s less than 0.5% 😭. I assumed that those viet places are Chinese Han owned. I am planning to relocate to nyc soon, and we need more viet people from all over America to move to nyc since we need more viet culture down here 😭. There is already Chinese, Korean, Indian, and middle eastern culture, but we need more viet culture.
