Is this the beginning of democratic renovation for Vietnam?

Vietnam had economic renovation starting in 1986.

Testing, testing.....but a step to the right direction. How long is a term?

nice to hear

we will rise and reform with no violence

If the communist regime is willing to change for the better of Vietnam and its people then violence is unneeded.

I hope this is just not a show.
