The Economist's latest print edition featuring Vietnam's General Secretary To Lam has been banned in Vietnam, marking ongoing media censorship. The article discusses Vietnam's economic transformation and the potential impact of U.S. tariffs, which pose a threat to its export-driven economy. While the magazine highlights the need for strategic reforms under Lam's leadership, there are fears that failure to adapt will keep Vietnam as a low-value production center. Distributors reported orders to remove the magazine from sale, highlighting the stringent control over media in the communist state.
Reports by both Reuters and Bloomberg quoted unnamed distributors who said they could not obtain copies of the magazine or that it had been banned.
Vietnam's ministry of foreign affairs and the Economist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
