Based on Noelle-Meumann’s “the spiral of silence” theory, the article identifies the silence spiral formation mechanism in ethnic minority areas today. The silence - the fear of speaking out comes from several reasons including that of conflicts with neighbors and unfair treatment, due to the lack of accountability of local officials, etc. Thence, some recommendations are provided to cast off the spiral of silence, partly minimize political and social risk hot spots in ethnic minority regions in Vietnam in the coming time.
