Be alert to hostile forces’ tricks to manipulate information and photos
15/6/16
Recently, some websites spread distorted
information and old photos of unknown origin with the aim of blackening the
Vietnam People’s Army and the Vietnam People’s Police in both wartime and
peacetime.
Everyone knows,
domestic reactionary and overseas hostile forces have for a long time been
attempting to depoliticize Vietnamese armed forces, and this is part of their
“peaceful evolution” scheme. In doing so, they irrationally criticize the
leadership of the Party over the armed forces, claiming that armed forces,
especially military, should be depoliticized to “promote its professionalism.”
To identify the dirty
plot of their “peaceful evolution” scheme, people should refer to what happened
to the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries in late 1980s and
early 1990s. It is evident, the collapse of the former Soviet Union and elsewhere
in Eastern Europe originated from the communist party’s lost leadership over
the army in particular and armed forces in general, in these countries. The Red
Army of the former Soviet Union with its heroic and proud traditions was
completely neutralized because they were trapped by anti-revolutionary forces’
scheme of depoliticizing the armed forces.
In Vietnam, right
after the war in 1975, reactionary and hostile forces crafted the strategy
“Winning without war.” Since then, they sought numerous ways to realize the
strategy. In so doing, they target the Vietnam People’s Army and other
components of the Vietnamese armed forces. They advocate for thoughts about an
apolitical army and use every trick to speak ill of the Vietnam People’s Army
and armed forces as a whole.
Aware of their
malicious tricks and plots, Vietnam’s army and other armed forces always
believe in the Party’s leadership and struggle against the wrong arguments of
the reactionary and hostile forces.
The Vietnam People’s
Army and the Vietnam People’s Police have experienced 70 years of building and
development under the leadership of the Party in both wartime and peacetime.
The two armed forces always serve as a sharp tool of the Party, State and
people in protecting the country from foreign invaders, maintaining national
peace, security and safety. The Vietnam People’s Army is an army, which belongs
to the people, is made from the people and serves the people. This army fights
for the people’s happiness, the goal of national independence and the ideal of
socialism.
In today’s context,
the armed forces and the Vietnam People’s Army in particular become more
powerful. The Vietnam People’s Army is underway to a modern revolutionary army.
The Vietnam People’s Army is continuously equipped with new weapons, thanks to
the Party’s and State’s care. The Vietnam People’s Army is also regularly
politically educated and militarily trained to become a regular, elite and
gradually modernized army.
In response to
reactionary and hostile forces’ malicious plots, tricks and activities with the
aim of separating the Vietnam People’s Army and the Vietnam people’s Police
from the leadership of the Party and the great national unity, the Party and
State attach importance to build politically strong military and police forces.
The political strength of the two forces is viewed as a firm foundation to
improve their comprehensive power and fighting capacity.
Therefore, the Vietnam
People’s Army in particular and Vietnam’s armed forces in general are
absolutely loyal to the Party, State, people and socialism in any context. Over
the past years, alongside the whole Party and people, the army and police have
firmly protected national independence, sovereignty, unity and sovereignty over
the country’s seas and islands. The two forces under the Party’s leadership
have also maintained political security, social order and safety, defeated all
plots and activities of domestic reactionaries and overseas hostile forces,
prepared well for non-traditional security threats, and been ready for any
contingencies. The achievements and victories obtained by the Vietnam People’s
Army and Vietnam People’s Police over the past years have demonstrated that all
plots and tricks of reactionary and hostile forces to politicize Vietnam’s armed
forces have been bankrupted.
Nevertheless,
reactionary and hostile forces will not easily accept failure and stop carrying
out plots and activities against Vietnam. When they failed to argue for
politicization of Vietnam’s armed forces, they utilize tricks to blacken the
image and downgrade the credibility of the armed forces, particularly the
Vietnam People’s Army and Vietnam People’s Police. To this end, they spread
fake and false information about the Vietnam People’s Army and Vietnam People’s
Police, distort their good traditions and speak ill of the noble virtues of
Uncle Ho’s soldiers. One of their usual approaches is to cut-and-paste
information, fabricate stories, reproduce or make up photos finely and then
post on their websites and social networks to slander soldiers and policemen.
It should be noted
that their uses of forums and social networks to spread fake, false and
distorted information and photos with the aim of downgrade the credibility and
honor of the Vietnam People’s Army and Vietnam People’s Police are illegal acts
under the Vietnamese laws. What is more, such activities also affect the great
national unity, the unity between people and armed forces and between the army
and police.
Against this backdrop,
the Party, people and armed forces should be active in fighting against plots
and activities of reactionary and hostile forces. The whole Party, people and
armed forces should always be alert and boycott websites, cyber addresses with
poisonous information. People should have firm trust and confidence in the
Party’s leadership and its goals and ideology, and should not believe in their
stories and photos and spread them in all forms on the internet. To help people
with good knowledge and understanding, Party committees, authorities, military
units and organizations at all levels should enhance public education and
information dissemination in various forms so that hostile forces cannot
exploit a shortage of information and lack of knowledge, particularly in
remote, mountainous and island areas to spread their fake and false
information.
Additionally, all
people should frequently study the Party’s resolutions and directions and the
State’s policies to improve their political knowledge and awareness. When
people have good knowledge of the domestic and international situation and well
understand all policies, they can recognize every plot and trick of reactionary
and hostile forces so they would refuse their information or even would
struggle against wrong arguments of reactionary and hostile forces.

No matter what hostile forces say, practice is always the most accurate measure to test doctrines and guidelines set out by a political party.
Over the past years, the hostile forces and political opportunists have rabidly and repeatedly denied our uni-party regime.
The sabotage has been increasingly developed and changed in terms of tricks
Noticeably, addition to hostile forces and anti-communist extremists, recently there have also had an echo of discontented political opportunists and even a small number of cadres and party members exploited by them.
In spite of efforts to hide, their unchangeable plot is to abolish the Communist Party of Vietnam’s leadership.
Vietnam with its uni-party regime has made considerable progress in socio-economic fields, maintaining political stability. In the similar historical and social conditions, not all states with pluralism could do.
They believe that “The reform over nearly the past 30 years has remained a uni-party regime curtailing freedom and democracy, dividing the peoples”; thus, it is necessary to change the Party’s Platform.
Such opinions have been clarified for a long time and denied by history.
Choosing pluralism is an adventure for Vietnam as it would potentially pose a risk of political and social instability, missing the opportunity for economic development and people’s welfare improvement.
All criticisms of Vietnam’s “uni-party” political regime are just prejudice and forced imposition for evil purposes.
