Resignation ist keine Option
15.08.2019 Leonie Gubela (taz) - Für die 24-jährige Nhi Le war Leipzig lange ein Sehnsuchtsort. Mittlerweile erlebt sie dort einen immer aggressiveren Rassismus.
Man könnte meinen, Nhi Le sei nicht zum ersten Mal in dieser Küche. Zügig verteilt sie Schneidebrettchen, Messer und Schnibbelanweisungen an die anwesenden taz-RedakteurInnen, stellt den Herd an und erklärt nebenbei, warum sie sich für das Dinner in der Dresden-WG Sommerrollen gewünscht hat.
Seit 2016 gibt Le auch Workshops zu Antirassismus, Antisexismus und Hate Speech. Was sie ihren ZuhörerInnen mit auf den Weg geben will? „Dass es sich um Muster handelt, um gesellschaftliche Strukturen.“ Auf gar keinen Fall dürfe das Bild entstehen, dass Diskriminierung nur ein paar Einzelnen passiere.

Beijing starts military exercise in disputed South China Sea as tensions with Vietnam rise
15.08.2019 Laura Zhou (SCMP) - China started a series of military training exercises near the Paracel chain of islands in the disputed South China Sea on Tuesday, amid growing tensions with Vietnam over the vital maritime trade route.
Ships were prohibited from entering three locations in and near the Paracels from Tuesday morning until Thursday afternoon, according to three brief notices published on the Maritime Safety Administration website on Monday.
On Tuesday, Vietnamese police said they had dispersed a brief protest outside the Chinese embassy in Hanoi, in which about 10 people demanded the departure of the Chinese ships from Vanguard Bank. The protest came just days after a Vietnamese fishermen’s association publicly urged the government to take stronger action to remove the ships, which it said had disrupted fishing in the area.

EU-Vietnam trade deal shows EU will bend human rights standards if the price is right
14.08.2019 By Skylar Lindsay (ASEAN Today) - The new EU-Vietnam free trade agreement (FTA) shows the EU will look past human rights violations to push a trade agenda. But as FTAs with ASEAN states don’t offer the EU the same economic benefits, it’s unlikely the bloc will pen more in the near future.
The Vietnamese government regularly violates civil rights to freedom of association and expression. Small landholders lose their property and livelihoods to government and private development projects. Political dissidents are regularly silenced and punished. The EVFTA gave hope to other actors in the region. It showed that in cases where the EU stands to benefit economically, trade negotiators are willing to overlook political repression and rights issues. [read more]

China hammers message as survey ship returns to waters claimed by Vietnam
14.08.2019 (Japan Times) - HANOI – A Chinese survey vessel has re-entered disputed waters in the South China Sea, according to ship tracking analysis, after a tense monthlong standoff in the same area inflamed tensions between Hanoi and Beijing.
China has been accused of deploying warships, arming outposts and ramming fishing vessels in the waters, stoking ire from other claimants on the global shipping route.
Hanoi said last week the ship had left the area, but on Tuesday it had returned, according to the U.S.-based Center for Advanced Defense Studies. [read more]
"Dieselben Bilder, dasselbe Drama, so viele Jahre danach"
13.08.2019 Ein Interview von Alex Raack (Spiegel Online) - 1979 trat das Rettungsschiff "Cap Anamur" in den Dienst - Tausende Flüchtlinge verdanken den Helfern um Christel und Rupert Neudeck ihr Leben. Hier spricht die Gründerin über Mut und Hass, Böll und Rackete.
Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann Rupert und prominenten Freunden wie dem Schriftsteller Heinrich Böll initiierte Christel Neudeck 1979 das Hilfsprojekt "Ein Schiff für Vietnam" inmitten der humanitären Katastrophe im Südchinesischen Meer. Vier Jahre zuvor hatte der Vietnamkrieg mit dem Sieg des kommunistischen Nordens geendet, ein Terrorregime folgte. Vor willkürlichen Verhaftungen und Umerziehungslagern, vor Folter und Mord flohen etwa 1,5 Millionen Menschen mit oft seeuntauglichen Booten übers Meer. [Weiterlesen]
Flucht aus Vietnam: Gerettet von der "Cap Anamur"
13.08.2019 von Sebastian Stoll (NDR) - Vor 40 Jahren begannen Retter auf der "Cap Anamur" ihre Hilfsaktion im südchinesischen Meer. Auf dem umgebauten Frachter aus Hamburg fanden Menschen Zuflucht, die mit Booten aus dem kommunistischen Vietnam flohen. Eine Überlebende erinnert sich.
Es beginnt mit einem kleinen Schauspiel: Über Monate hinweg streiten sich die Eltern von Alicia Le-Sattler - und immer, wenn die Mutter für ein paar Tage auszieht, nimmt sie ein Möbelstück mit. Die Wohnung leert sich, aber Mama bleibt. Der ganze Streit - alles nur inszeniert, damit die Nachbarn von den Fluchtplänen nichts mitbekommen. [Weiterlesen]
Vietnam’s lagging 5G ambitions
13.08.2019 Author: Phan Le, ANU (East Asia Forum) - On 10 May 2019, Vietnam became one of the first countries to successfully establish a 5G-powered phone call. It was a milestone for the country given Hanoi’s ambitious plan to deploy a 5G network for commercial operations by 2020 using domestically-developed technology. But while Vietnam’s 5G rollout is on the right track, fully realising this ambition still requires overcoming myriad challenges in technology, national security and governance.
From a technical standpoint, Viettel’s demonstration on 10 May reveals neither the company’s capability to meet its goal of 5G self-reliance, nor its ability to roll out a 5G network which is standards-compliant, robust and feature-complete. Viettel’s biggest goal of self-developing its core network equipment, including multiple state-of-the-art chipsets, likely amounts to a pipe dream. Even leading 5G suppliers — Huawei, ZTE, Nokia and Ericsson — still rely on external chip developers such as Qualcomm or Intel. [read more]

Bruderland – Sozialistische Vertragsarbeiter in der DDR
10.08.2019 Armin Siebert (Sputnik) - Auch in der DDR gab es „Gastarbeiter“. Sie kamen aus befreundeten sozialistischen Staaten wie Vietnam, Mosambik, Kuba oder Angola. Wie haben sie die DDR erlebt und was passierte mit ihnen nach der Wende? Die Webdoku „Eigensinn im Bruderland“ erzählt die Geschichte der DDR-Migranten. Sputnik hat mit einer der Autorinnen, Julia Oelkers, gesprochen.
Frau Oelkers, wie kamen die Vertragsarbeiter in die DDR? Aus welchen Ländern kamen sie und war es eine Auszeichnung, in der DDR zu lernen und zu arbeiten?
Wir haben uns in unserer Webdoku auf Ende der 1970er / Anfang der 1980er Jahre fokussiert. Es kamen aber schon seit den 1950ern Studierende und Arbeiter aus sogenannten „befreundeten sozialistischen Ländern“ in die DDR. [Weiterlesen]

South China Sea stand-off shows Vietnam has few options in dealing with Beijing’s bullying
08.08.2019 Le Hong Hiep (SCMP) - Impasse at the Vanguard Bank suggests diplomacy is Vietnam’s first – and last – line of defence against China’s assertiveness in the contested waters.
The Vietnam–China stand-off at Vanguard Bank in the South China Sea [1] has been going on for more than one month. Despite Vietnam’s repeated diplomatic protests and international pressures, China has not completely withdrawn its vessels from the area, which is part of Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
According to marine traffic data, the Haiyang Dizhi 8 survey vessel, which is at the centre of contention, moved together with some accompanying ships to China-controlled Fiery Cross Reef [2] in the Spratlys last Wednesday evening, but two Chinese coastguard vessels remained in Vietnamese waters near Block 06-01. It is unclear if the Haiyang Dizhi 8 and accompanying vessels will return to Vanguard Bank in the coming days or not. [read more]
Vietnam police disperse protest at Chinese embassy over South China Sea standoff
06.08.2019 James Pearson (Reuters) - HANOI - Vietnamese police on Tuesday broke up a brief protest outside the Chinese embassy in Hanoi against Beijing’s maritime survey of an offshore block in the southeast Asian nation’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), a Reuters witness said.
Vietnamese and Chinese ships have been in a weeks-long standoff near the oil block, the latest confrontation in waters that are a potential global flashpoint as the United States challenges China’s sweeping maritime claims.
Protests in the authoritarian and Communist-ruled Southeast Asian country are rare, and police dispersed the short-lived demonstration of about 10 activists of the “No-U” group within minutes. [read more]

In “Opposite: The reverse side of social media,” Vietnam Television (VTV) says that activists have used social networks to provoke protests and misrepresent or falsify information to advance the agenda of “Abolishing the leadership of the Communist Party and overthrowing the People’s Government.”“I challenge any Party organization, radio stations or VTV station to point out any incorrect facts from my articles or interviews, or to show where there is any misrepresentation or agitation,” said independent journalist Pham Chi Dung, one of the accused, in a statement issued shortly after Opposite was broadcast.

Pianistin darf fertig studieren
06.08.2019 Von Dietrich Mittler (SZ) - Abgelehnte Asylbewerberin aus Vietnam wird nicht wie ihre Eltern abgeschoben.
Monatelang hatte die junge vietnamesische Pianistin Hong An Nguyen bangen müssen, dass sie als abgelehnte Asylbewerberin ebenso wie ihre Eltern in ihr früheres Heimatland abgeschoben wird - doch diese Gefahr ist offensichtlich gebannt. Sie darf in Nürnberg ihr Studium fortsetzen. Kürzlich erst hatte sie die Prüfung zum Masterstudiengang an der dortigen Hochschule für Musik bestanden. Olaf Kuch, Chef des Nürnberger Einwohneramts, sagte: "Ihr Studium kann sie auf jeden Fall hier absolvieren, auch wenn ihr Status noch nicht endgültig geklärt ist."
Nach Angaben von Amtschef Olaf Kuch hat Hong An Nguyen inzwischen mehrere Optionen bezüglich des weiteren Aufenthalts. Unter anderem sei sie bald vier Jahre in Deutschland und könnte folglich auch eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis für gut integrierte Jugendliche und Heranwachsende bekommen. [Weiterlesen]

Das Schicksal der „Boat people“ im Chinesischen Meer - „Cap Anamur“ rettet Flüchtlinge aus dem Meer – vor 40 Jahren
05.08.2019 (Kirche+Leben) - Humanitäre Großtat oder „Beihilfe zur illegalen Einwanderung“? Unter diesem Vorwurf ist Carola Rackete, Kapitänin der „Sea Watch 3“, angeklagt, weil sie ihr Schiff mit 40 Flüchtlingen an Bord in den Hafen von Lampedusa steuerte, trotz Verbots der Behörden. Ähnliche Diskussionen um die Seenotrettung gab es schon vor 40 Jahren.
Damals war der Schauplatz das Chinesische Meer und die Flüchtlinge kamen aus Vietnam. Am 13. August 1979 stach das Hospitalschiff „Cap Anamur“ von Japan aus in See und nahm sechs Wochen später die ersten Bootsflüchtlinge an Bord. „Boat people“ wurden die Menschen genannt, die in winzigen, völlig überfüllten Booten ihr Heil in der Flucht über das Meer suchten.

Am 1. August 1979 heben er, seine Frau Christel und einige Freunde - darunter Literaturnobelpreisträger Heinrich Böll - die Kölner Hilfsorganisation Cap Anamur aus der Taufe. [Weiterlesen]
EU, Vietnam to become brothers in arms
01.08.2019 By David Hutt (Asia Times) - On August 5, the European Union’s (EU) chief diplomat Federica Mogherini will sign a new defense agreement with Vietnam, the first such security deal Brussels will have with a Southeast Asian nation.
It is the latest indication that the EU is trying to forge a closer defense relationship with the region and Vietnam in particular, which is at the heart of disputes with China in the South China Sea.
After taking part in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum and an EU-ASEAN Post-Ministerial Conference in Bangkok between August 1 and 2, Mogherini will head to Hanoi to sign “an agreement on Vietnam’s participation in our European military and civilian missions”, she told regional media earlier this week.
