Hi, Matt! Yes, there are many Hongmen groups and certainly not all are entwined with criminality. Wan, based on our reporting, co-opted and invoked the Hongmen branding to legitimize his network. But many of his deputies also have ties to the Zhigong party, making things more complex...

Fifty years, surely, is not long ago enough to forget. A gift link to our story that lets you read for free:

Some bilateral work on war legacies, such as the search for the missing remains of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers, had only begun in recent years. The U.S. retreat will significantly hobble progress, say Vietnamese groups.

Perhaps the most poignant symbol: The U.S. and Vietnam were meant to put on a first-of-its kind, joint exhibit at the War Remnants museum in HCM city to mark 30 years of normalization. The exhibit is now in limbo because the American officials in charge of it have been fired.

An initiative to help U.S. businesses tap into Vietnam’s renewable energy grid. Two agreements to prevent spread of infectious diseases from animals to humans, signed post-covid. Funding for an American-style lib arts college that had taken years for Vietnam’s govt to approve.

The dismantling of USAID and USIP have undermined the very foundation of reconciliation, say U.S. officials. Dozens of programs that were touted by U.S. officials as evidence of American commitment to Vietnam have been axed. 34 out of 43 USAID contracts gone.
