If the media reports it, this means the information was given by the government. As for the 'fear' comment, I do not think people in Vietnam fear the government anymore. There is just too much frustration going on. Vietnam is changing, quite fast. @Jenkins Butterworth: In all honesty, I do not think anyone really knows when a blogger is imprisoned or not.

If you have a blog, you really should not censor yourself, per se. The whole point is to express your opinions and views. I am guilty of it in the past though. @Tracy: I agree with on this point now.

Like many expats, some thoughts that reasonates into a blog could be deem as harmless and unpolitical in nature; however, it can be deem as "incorrect information about...political system..." regard of the source of your information. Sometimes, it doesn't even have to be political. Merely comparing your ability to exercise your rights in certain country or your home country versus in Vietnam can be deem as "incorrect information." I wouldn't blog anything about the political system at all. Anh Hung has a good point.

However, the particular blog on "changing political environment" may be a good target for them, so be careful :) If you continue writing what you’re writing, you won’t be running into problems at all.
