I literally know nothing about Vietnamese politics. But I also don't think I've made any assertion that press/individual freedoms are incompatible with socialism. In fact, I think I've been pretty clear about this forum "deserving a better brand of socialist"

Okay, you dont know anything about vietnamese politics and you don't think there can be press freedom under government control, got it.
