(Reuters) -The most common Asian edition of Economist, depicting Vietnamese leader LAM on its cover, was banned in Vietnam, said Reuters in two local media distributors, and in a new censorship in the communist -controlled country.
May 24 The permit that can still be found in the country in his electronic version depicts a LAM with two stars on his eyes on the red background, indicating the national flag of the country, “A man with Vietnam’s plan”.
The entity in Vietnam’s main history said: “The Communist Party’s difficult person must save a great Success History of Asia.”
The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry and the Ministry responsible for public information did not respond to the requests to comment on the announced prohibition.

Vietnam is also prohibited regularly for books, films and other cultural works and many media.
“We were given orders to tear the cover and an article about it (LAM). Forcing the magazine was no longer sold. We were later told not to sell it at all,” said Ngay Moi Executive Director, refusing to be named because she was not allowed to talk to the media.
The distributor of the second distributor, the Global Book Corporation, said the Vietnamese ministry responsible for public information forbade the distribution of that particular problem without going into motivation.
The third source of the Xunhasaba distributor said he did not have this problem because he had not received enough orders.
Vietnam, the Southeast Asian Industrial Center, is facing the main moment as it seeks to consolidate the long -term economic boom when the US tariff trade voltage can damage export -oriented growth.
In an economist’s article, LAM described it as an ambitious leader who originated from the Security State and “must turn himself into a reformer” to adjust the country’s economic model and become richer.
The 67-year-old LAM has risen from the Ministry of Public Security, which he has been leading for many years to reach the peak of the Vietnamese political hierarchy last year after a few months of struggle, first to become president and then leader to the leader of the country, the highest work of the country.
Economist cover and articles have forwarded thousands of times Vietnamese users in social media with various reactions.
“Vietnam is confidently moving into a new era of growth – and the world is paying attention,” Linhedin said Linkedin with Economist sales manager Yumi Thao Nguyen.
Le Thi Kim NGOC, a self -described “citizen of the Vietnamese Socialist Republic”, said Facebook that the economist described LAM as a difficult person, “serious political and social changes that are currently underway in Vietnam.”
