According the decision of the CPV’s Central Inspection Commission released on October 25, Prof. Chu Hao, former deputy minister of science and technology, had seriously violated the party’s disciplines and affected the social ideology.
The party must discipline him for his violations, said the conclussion of the commission at the end of its 30th regular session.
Particularly, as the head of the Knowledge Publishing House, Prof. Hao is responsible for publishing a number of book with contents opposing the party’s policies and the country’s laws, the commission said in its statement.
Many of books published by the house had been banned from circulation, the commission said without naming the banned books.
Professor Chu Hao, who obtained his PhD in France, held many positions in research institutes before became deputy minister of science and technology in 1996. At this period, he supported the project to launch Internet in the Southeast Asian nation.
He retired from the post in 2005 and became the director of the Knowledge Publishing House, and still holds the post. He is the president of the Vietnam-France Friendship Association.
According to readers, many books published by his agency have progressive points of views.
Meanwhile, on October 22, Vietnam’s National Assembly, the rubber-stamped parliament elected Nguyen Phu Trong, 74, as the country’s new president, making him the most powerful figure in the communist regime.
Since becoming the party’s chief in early 2016, Trong has launched severe crackdown on the local dissent. In 2016-2017, Vietnam detained more than 50 activists. So far this year, the communist regime has arrested 26 activists and convicted 39 government critics with a total 294.5 years in prison and 66 years of probation under controversial articles of the national security provisions in the Penal Code. As many as 13 of them were sentenced to between ten and 20 years in prisons.
In addition, the regime has also sentenced 56 peaceful protesters who participated in the mass demonstration in mid-June to between eight and 54 months in prison.
