www.nytimes.com U.S. Tells Its Diplomats in Vietnam to Avoid War Anniversary Events
The reversal adds another Trump administration blow to decades of reconciliation efforts.
The Trump administration has told its senior diplomats in Vietnam not to take part in events marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the war.
Four U.S. officials who insisted on anonymity to describe sensitive diplomatic decision-making said that Washington had recently directed senior diplomats — including Marc Knapper, the U.S. ambassador to Vietnam — to stay away from activities tied to the anniversary on April 30.
That includes a hotel reception on April 29 with senior government leaders and an elaborate parade the next day — gatherings hosted by Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, where the war ended with South Vietnam’s surrender.
Veterans returning to Vietnam have also been told they’re on their own, for public discussions they organize on war and reconciliation, and anniversary events. For many, it amounts to a sudden reversal after months of anticipation.

China, Vietnam Sign 45 Deals as Xi Seeks Closer Regional Ties
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28219321
China and Vietnam signed dozens of cooperation agreements during a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, as he aimed to strengthen ties in Southeast Asia on his first overseas trip of the year.
Vietnam is seeking to further strengthen cooperation with China in security, transport and securing preferential loans as well as technology transfers from China, VTV said. Hanoi also expects more balanced trade with its neighbor, it said.
Xi landed in Vietnam days after Donald Trump raised tariffs on China but gave everyone else — including Vietnam, which is negotiating over its 46% rate — a 90-day pause.
His regional tour, which will also see him visit Malaysia and Cambodia, highlights the tricky position Southeast Asian nations face. They’ve become key routes for Chinese exports to reach the US since Trump’s tariff hikes on Beijing in his first term.

www.polygon.com Switch 2 consoles made in Vietnam earmarked for the US
A new pre-order date has not been set
A new Bloomberg report suggests Nintendo will be able to “build a stockpile of millions of consoles” shipped from Vietnam to the United States ahead of June’s Nintendo Switch 2 launch. That’s based off data provided by global trade data and customs analysis company NBD, which showed Nintendo shipped more consoles from Vietnam in February than it had “in the previous six months combined,” Bloomberg reported.
Nearly all of the output from Hosiden Corp. — one of three Nintendo Switch 2 assembly companies — was sent to the United States beginning in January, per Bloomberg’s data. The jump was from 11% to “two-thirds over the previous 12 months.” That’s good news for Nintendo, which, up until Wednesday, was facing President Trump’s 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam. Those tariffs are on a 90-day hold, save for a universal 10% tariff; that hold may not last forever, but it gives Nintendo time to ship tons of consoles to the United States. Bloomberg said “roughly a third” of Switch 2 cons

That what I figured out too. Sometimes it feels weird to be the first one posting some popular contents to Lemmy. Normally, those contents would be on Reddit the moments it aired.
Seem like they get royalties for the content inside the book, but none for the cover art which they must draw for free.

Yeah, from what I understand. If it an one-off encounter (annihilate each other), then tit for tat will lose most of the times. That is original version Prisoner's dilemma and the answer for that version is you all should betray each other. When the scenario is not an one-off encounter but a repeated once then tit for tat will win most of the times.

From the article:
To tame the crisis, Milei has proposed not only privatizing science, but also closing the environment and health ministries, and abolishing the current public-health and education systems. The anti-establishment politician has even floated the idea of allowing people to sell their own organs for profit. On environmental issues, he is equally provocative, calling climate change “a socialist hoax”, and saying that a company should be able to pollute a river as it see fit. “From his perspective, any regulatory intervention by the state represents an attack against market freedom and, therefore, against individual freedom,” says Maristella Svampa, a sociologist at the CONICET-funded Center for Documentation and Research of Left-Wing Culture in Buenos Aires.
