Aspiration for development

  • Hồ Sĩ Quý

Abstract

Hochiminh city today and the former Pearl of Orient, Hanoi today and Hanoi 20-30 years ago, Danang - the most worth-living city today and Danang in the old days, those are rather significant changes.

In the beginning of 2015, Hochiminh city announced that its GDP per capita has reached 5,000 USD; Hanoi inaugurated the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Southeast Asian region. In late 2014, new weapons received for national defense were the third Kilo-class submarine named HQ-184 Haiphong and the SU-30MK2 fighter jet. Such events have significant impact on the development.

However, besides such positive changes, the country is facing many serious, intractable problems. Looking at the reality of development, especially in recent years, it can be seen that there are many conflicting phenomena which we must accept even though we do not want to.

The development should have been more commensurate with the potential. That’s right. But the aspiration for development is always bigger, more ideal than the reality.

The content of the article clarifies Vietnam’s thirst to “dragonize” with the necessary and sufficient conditions; the contradictions in the development process in order to realize this aspiration.
