Apparently offering to do something is the same as actually being able to do it.

It’s funny how the tankies are smug about panic-buying shortages in the US when they’ve spent the past few years ignoring much worse permanant shortages in countries like Venezuela.

>Governments must resist calls from some quarters to protect their own food supply by restricting exports, he said, as some have begun to do. …  Vietnam, the world’s third biggest rice exporter, has temporarily suspended rice export contracts.

Ooops.

>Many supermarkets across Hanoi have empty shelves due to panic buying over the coronavirus outbreak. DTI News has reported that many shops and small markets have run out of food as local people have been bulk buying products so they can self-quarantine in their homes for long periods.

Double Ooops.

Vietnam? Which has been shifting back from a planned economy to an open market over the past 34 years? The country that’s faced economic growth by EMBRACING private ownership?

I mean, regardless of if they’re lying or not, I don’t really think they are the hard socialist nation the tankies want to make the US into.

There is a difference between china who always lies, and the USA who often lies but iui s capable of telling the truth.

leviathan-supersystem:

unlike the government of the good ol’ US of A, who would never lie to us.

You know how china lies?

Vietnam does the same shit.

loving that the sidebar of your last (two month old) link shows me a portal into an alternate dimension where there’s a sensibly planned economy and the whole covid-19 thing is already over.

Man you really are desperate for any source arent you.

Also remind me, where exactly does Vietnam rank in freedom of the press?

Oh and you never answered my question, what exactly do you consider a legitimate source?

i did answer that question, [link] actually, and you never responded.

i’d love to hear what you think the current daily vietnam death toll of covid-19 is, since you’re so sure it’s higher than the 2000 a day projected in the US.
