The monument was first built in 1989 on the occasion of 10 years of
victory against Pol Pot regime. It was upgraded in 2016 with an
investment of 350,000 USD from the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central
Committee. - VNA
Friendship or master and slave?
ReplyDeleteIf the monuments symbolize friendship, they should have the same type of monuments in many major cities in VN.
More like owner/boss and owned/subordinate. Face it, somebody is gonna own you folkds, if not the Vietnamese, then the Chinese or the Thai, or even the Laos could own you all.
DeleteYou really need to improve, work hard, make money, save up then invest in your own company. You need to own your factories and land. But nooooooooooo... Then don't complain.
