Rankings like QS are in my opinion less convincing because the methodology is not appreciated. The long-lasting universities which have a large scale and receive investment incentives from the state turn out to have lower scientific capacity than new schools. However, the important thing is setting specific standards, and it is even more difficult to find weights for every standard. There are long lasting large-scale universities which are highly appreciated by the public, but they are not highly ranked after calculations of indicators and analyses. From that perspective, I think there are 3 groups of ranking criteria: scientific research, teaching and facilities. First, the market and the demand of clients.

In 2017, France passed legislation requiring large corporations to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence and to publish an annual Vigilance Plan. These were developed in accordance with the Labor Law, Environmental Law, Vietnam’s commitments at COP21 and COP26, the Global Reporting Initiative, and ISO 26000 standards, as well as a wide range of ESG requirements embedded in Vietnam’s numerous free trade agreements. The directive requires EU member states to create laws that monitor environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in [their global supply chains](https://www.vietnam-briefing.com/news/antidumping-countervailing-duties-vietnam.html/#importanceofsupplychainauditsHeader:~:text=than%20ever%20before.-,Importance%20of%20supply%20chain%20audits,-All%20of%20this). The burgeoning Southeast Asian nation also has several key laws, regulations, and arrangements in place to fulfill its own ESG goals. This is hoped to facilitate the adoption of best international practices and open better access to remedies for victims of harmful corporate practices. Furthermore, a European Network of Supervisory Authorities will be established to bring together representatives of the national bodies. Furthermore, it also aligns with the Paris Agreement and internationally recognized human rights and labor standards. With a large number of EU companies in Vietnam, here’s what local and foreign firms need to be aware of.

Intellectual Property (IP) laws have been an essential aspect of legal systems worldwide for many years. These laws aim to safeguard creative ideas…

One key issue that the country continues to grapple with is the lack of resources and capacity of IP Office in Vietnam to effectively enforce IP rights. With its expansive IP laws and abundance of resources, Vietnam offers a favorable environment for IP protection and development. Even with these challenges, Vietnam can be a great launchpad for innovators, artists, and businesses looking to turn their ideas and creations into reality. [IP rights are governed by the IP Law and related regulations](https://www.aseanipa.org/index.php/members/viet-nam/185-ipguidesvietnam/507-ip-guides-for-vietnam), which provide protection for a variety of IP forms, such as copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and trade secrets. After the turn of the 21st century, Vietnam began to make further efforts to improve its IP legal framework and meet international standards. Despite gaining independence in 1954, Vietnam continued to follow the French IP legal system, with some modifications along the way. Trade secrets are protected through the country’s It also displayed its dedication to upholding IP law in its World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) membership and becoming a signatory for several international IP treaties, including the [Patent Cooperation Treaty](https://www.ipvietnam.gov.vn/web/english/patent-registration-through-pct), the [Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks](https://www.ipvietnam.gov.vn/web/english/international-registration-of-marks-through-madrid-system), and the [Berne Convention](https://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/notifications/berne/treaty_berne_241.html). In Vietnam, - Copyright Copyright protects original literary, artistic, and scientific works, such as books, music, paintings, and software. For businesses, IP rights give them a competitive edge by securing their brands, products, and technology from being copied or misused by rivals. These laws aim to safeguard creative ideas and materialized works, and they have become increasingly important in an era where technology and innovation play a vital role in society.

According to recent reports, the utility is posting huge losses and may run out of cash as early as May.

EVN and its subsidiaries still control the generation, transmission and distribution of the vast majority of electricity in Vietnam. The state is reluctant to reduce its control over a critical national function – in this case the production and distribution of electricity – and give more influence to private sector actors. There is indeed more private sector activity in the sector now than there was in the past, including a nascent wholesale market. And this is an especially acute issue in Vietnam, due to the structure of its electricity markets. They want this, at least in part, because electricity generation is very capital-intensive and the market can be an efficient way of raising money to finance large-scale investments. Because of this, the price of energy inputs like coal was very low for a while.

Fifty years ago this spring, the last American troops left Vietnam. Taylor Downing looks back on a conflict that ended in humiliation for the US.

But the Viet Cong were allowed to remain in the South. Nixon was re-elected with a landslide in the autumn of that year, but the killing in Vietnam continued. The war provoked intense protest in the US and around much of the Western world. But the fighting dragged on, and in 1971 Nixon escalated the war into neighbouring Cambodia in an attempt to destroy the Viet Cong supply routes. The US refused to halt the bombing. Fighting in the ancient capital of Hue was particularly intense, and went on for some weeks. Kennedy had seen the horrors of war first-hand, in the US Navy in the Pacific. It was a situation perhaps best encapsulated in an earlier comment, allegedly made by Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 about the head of Nicaragua’s Somoza family: ‘I know he’s a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch.’ It was in this context that an incident took place in the Gulf of Tonkin in August 1964. Claiming that two American destroyers, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy, had been attacked in what were regarded as international waters off North Vietnam, an outraged Johnson went to Congress and won overwhelming support for what was effectively a declaration of war. Supporting a corrupt and repressive regime in Saigon was not a popular option, but Communist guerrillas, known as the Viet Cong, were now actively backed by the Soviet Union and Communist China. Many of those who were part of Kennedy’s administration have said there was no way he would have let the US get sucked into the Vietnam quagmire.

No country of comparable size in the whole world has gained as much economic freedom as Vietnam since 1995. It's all thanks to market-oriented reforms.

Vietnam is now one of the world’s most dynamic countries, with a vibrant economy that creates great opportunities for hardworking people and entrepreneurs. The comprehensive rating is based on 12 categories of freedoms. The Heritage Foundation writes about Vietnam: “Capitalizing on its gradual integration into the global trade and investment system, the economy is becoming more market-oriented. Back in 1995, when the index was first compiled, Vietnam scored a meager 41.7 points.
