Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son was punished. This is the news disclosed by the Vietnam Government News Network on December 28. What's the matter?
Although the Vietnamese side did not disclose more content, but careful analysis, and some reports on other content from the Vietnamese side, we can roughly see the clues.

First of all, so far, the punishment against Pei Qingshan himself is still a punishment within the party. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam not only still calls Pei Qingshan a comrade, but also requires Pei Qingshan to seriously review, learn from experience, supervise the work in a timely manner, thoroughly rectify and report to the Politburo.
What do you think of this punishment?
Picture of Pei Qingshan: Information
In Uncle Hai's view, if Pei Qingshan is not found out in the future and has more violations of discipline and law in the eyes of the Vietnamese Communist Party and the Vietnamese government, there is a high probability that Pei Qingshan will not be further punished. The foreign minister can still continue to work in the next few days.
According to reports, Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, disclosed at a meeting of the Political Bureau and Secretariat of the Central Committee hosted by the Central Committee on December 27 that the basis for punishing Pei Thanh Son was based on his violations of regulations and disciplines and the consequences they caused. It is carried out by the central government on disciplinary measures against party organizations and party members who violate regulations and disciplines.
Pay attention to this passage——
The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam decided to severely criticize Pei Thanh Son.

Secondly, although Pei Qingshan himself currently sees that he has only been punished for party discipline, including some of his current subordinates, he has only been punished for party membership, but on December 22 , the spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam released the indictment, detention order and The residence search warrant made it possible to conclude that this matter was related to Vietnam's diplomacy with Japan.
Who was arrested? Zhu Xuan Dung, vice chairman of the Hanoi Municipal People's Committee, and Vu Hong Nam, former cadre of the Vietnamese embassy in Japan.

Zhu Xuan Dung has long served as the vice chairman of the Hanoi Municipal People's Committee. From the reports in recent years, it can be seen that he is also in charge of the health work in Hanoi. Whether it is the new crown epidemic or the dengue fever epidemic, he is the deputy director of the epidemic prevention and control committee. The director of this kind of committee is of course the chairman of the Hanoi Municipal People's Committee and other titles, and the person who does the actual work is undoubtedly Zhu Xuanyong.
The other arrested person was directly related to Pei Qingshan. This time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam disclosed that Wu Hongnan was a cadre of the Vietnamese diplomatic outlet and had worked in the Vietnamese embassy in Japan. In fact, he was the Vietnamese ambassador to Japan. It's just that this time it's from the perspective of the Communist Party of Vietnam, calling him a "former cadre".
Along with Pei Qingshan, Nguyen Hong Nam, the former Vietnamese ambassador to Japan, was punished by the Communist Party of Vietnam. Obviously, this case may be largely related to Vietnam's diplomacy with Japan.
It is hard to say whether the same batch of cadres of the Vietnamese Communist Party, including members of the Taiyuan Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Department of Resources and Environment, and Director of the Department of Resources and Environment Nguyen Thanh Tuan, who were punished in the same batch as Pei Thanh Son, are related to this case.

Again, let's take a look at the diplomatic situation between Japan and Vietnam.
Although Vietnam's high-level officials have not disclosed what went wrong with Japan-Vietnam diplomacy, Uncle Hai wants to say that there are two points worth noting——
First, since Shinzo Abe became prime minister ten years ago, Japan has used the so-called "value diplomacy" to break through the separation of politics and economy in Japan's postwar diplomacy. But in recent years, Japan hopes to win over people from all walks of life in Southeast Asia, and wants to expand the so-called "encirclement". But there is a special case, and that is Vietnam. Vietnam is a socialist country. Want to engage in "value diplomacy", theoretically Vietnam does not accept this. But if you want to become an "encirclement", Vietnam cannot become a shortcoming.
The second is that Japan has made many diplomatic moves on the surface, but there are also many small moves in the dark. But now, Vietnam's top officials have only discovered that officials in the diplomatic system have participated or followed up on Japan's small moves. Only in this way did they begin to investigate and deal with relevant persons, and believed that the foreign minister's supervision was insufficient.

In general, Vietnam's punishment of officials this time, even if it is not in the diplomatic system, is related to anti-corruption. So, is it because Vietnamese diplomats, such as Wu Hongnan, have eaten Japan's "sugar-coated cannonballs"? Wait for Vietnam to further announce the progress of the investigation in the future!
