Reading the other day the how-to-care-for-it brochure that came with Mrs. Charm’s choice of a new kitchen table from Pier Imports, I noticed it was made in Viet Nam.
I like it. Just knowing that their entrepreneurs are turning out stuff that Americans will buy is refreshing. I have some Lands End shirts made there as well. All to the good.
Then, I saw news of their latest show trial of a young dissident, Le Quoc Quan, who thinks they’d be better off without the Communist Party. Well, of course.
The Party, however, disagrees and, obviously, doesn’t intend to put up with criticism of their continued oppression. Sad, but no surprise.
