Viet Nam Human Rights
They do not see the wood for the trees (Part 1)
20/2/17
Basing on information about limitations
and weaknesses of our economy in 2016, a number of people deliberately
attribute them to the Party’s economic guidelines. This is an unilateral
fallacy with evil plots.
With the spirit of acknowledging the
truth, the 2nd Session of the 14th National Assembly and the 4th Plenum of the
12th Party Central Committee frankly pointed out limitations and weaknesses of
our economy while discussing reasons and remedial measures.
Nevertheless, despite reality and
efforts made by our whole Party and people to overcome difficulties, several
people who are discontented with the leadership of the Communist Party of
Vietnam have commented that the Vietnam economy picture includes dark tones
only, which aims to cause a panic within the society. Concerning information
about the rapid increase of public debt, export and economic growth not meeting
the target, measures to withdraw State capital from the enterprises in which
the State does not need to hold the biggest shares, such as Vinamilk, Sabeco,
Habeco, etc., the guideline on privatizing the construction of infrastructure
(concession of exploiting several highway lines, seaports, airports) to
implement one of the three breakthroughs identified in the 11th National Party
Congress, they rush into affirming that the economy of Vietnam is entering a
cul-de-sac. They deliberately attribute the economy’s weaknesses to the
maintenance of the Party’s economic guideline, saying that only when the Party
“stops socialist orientation”, could the Vietnam economy avoid the risk of
another crisis.
We could affirm immediately that it
is only one-sided judgment of a number of people. The National Assembly and the
12th Central Party Committee’s assessment of the above-mentioned limitations
and weaknesses proves our Party and State’s courage to face the truth to find
out the “illness” of the economy, reasons as well as measures. Those
limitations and weaknesses have resulted from both objective and subjective
conditions, not from the Party’s economic guideline.
We all know that the Party’s
economic guideline in the period of reform is a system of viewpoints and
orientations on developing a socialist-oriented market economy; stepping up
industrialization and modernization; innovating growth model, restructuring the
economy; actively and proactively engaging in international economic
integration process. That guideline was first laid down in the 6th National
Party Congress, supplemented and completed in the following Congresses.
Implementing the economic guideline, our country has gained achievements of
historic significance. From being a food importer, we are now among the world
top food and other agricultural products exporters. We have also got out of the
state of an underdeveloped country to become a middle income developing one,
with a GDP of 2,300 USD/person/year in 2016 (compared to 2,109 USD in
2015), increasing by 20 times in comparison with the pre-reform period. The
infrastructure has changed rapidly, creating a new face of the country and
making contributions to developing the economy and society and strengthening
defence and security. The structure of the economy has changed positively, with
industry and service accounting for 82.6% of 2015 GDP. The percentage of poor
household has dramatically decreased from 58% in 1993 to below 4.5% in 2015.

Under its leadership, revolutionary cause of Vietnamese people has achieved great victories with historical and timely significances.
Achievements of the Party's theoretical thinking about socialism and socialist construction in Vietnam are proved via the fact that our Party has identified the target system of the innovation process.
This is an unprecedented model of economic development, from that the party ceaselessly develops and clarifies inner elements to ensure socialist- oriented market economy.
Practice reveals that establishing model of socialism-oriented market economy has achieved great results in terms of theoretical thinking even though it still needs to continue supplementing and completing.
This model is increasingly being confirmed to be consistent with the development trend of world economy and Vietnam conditions.
Socialism and the path to socialism is a fundamental and practical theoretical topic with broad and complicated content, demanding thorough and in-depth study.
It is true that capitalism has never been more widely accepted than it is now, and it has achieved great successes, especially in liberating and developing productive capacity and advancing science and technology.
We need a society where development is truly for humans, instead of exploiting and trampling on human dignity for the sake of profits.
The concept of a socialist market-oriented economy is a creative and fundamental theoretical breakthrough for Party and an important fruit of the 31-year renewal process
Building a socialist democracy, ensuring that real power belongs to the people, is the ultimate and long-term task of Vietnam's revolution.
