So long, the communist government of Vietnam has always invoked reasons of national security and discretion are used to interpret the terms of a vague and unreasonable of Article 258 (abuse of Freedom Democratic rights for infringing the national interest) or as Article 79 (conspiracy to overthrow the government) and the most popular is Article 88 (propaganda against the regime) to excuse and cover up the violation human rights, serious suppression of free speech rights of lawful citizens which are prescribed by the State Constitution and protected by law.

While other Asian country Myanmar is gradually change meat closer to the formation of a free society and a democratic country, Vietnam still hung up on the spot the worst human rights records of them if not say that there are human rights setbacks in recent years. Themselves leaders in the party apparatus and the communist state government keeps them in conflict with themselves. On the one hand they are aware that only the Liberal and New Democratic truly sustainable economic development and long-term, truly political stability and social stability as well as the country quickly and people to prosperous and thriving place really. At the same time, Vietnam will have the opportunity to integrate and foothold in the international arena as well as regional. But on the other hand they fear that power and benefits they have possessed so long may lose if the democratization of the country as successful as some countries in the world today.
