Su Lin's leading successor policy will not have a big turn

In the

In the Vietnam Communist Party, when the General Secretary cannot perform his duties, it should be temporarily represented by the Executive Secretariat, but Ruan Fuzhong and other leaders should not follow this rule.A person familiar with the matter told the Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Vietnamese Channel that Ruan Fuzhong chose Su Lin Dynasty as the general secretary of the executive secretary before he fell into a deep coma on Wednesday (17th) in the afternoon.

This marks Su Lin's leading position in the successor.People familiar with the matter said that because Su Lin played an important role in the anti -corruption movement, Ruan Fuzhong trusted him very much.

Observer believes that Su Lin is very likely to take over as the general secretary, but this is just temporary arrangement.The 14th National Congress of the CPC will be held in 2026. Who can eventually become the leader to be observed.

Pan Chunyong, a researcher at the Vietnamese project of the East East South Asian Research Institute in Singapore, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that Vietnam's political internal fighting will intensify and face a period of uncertainty but not obviously unstable.

Research Director of the Institute of Strategy of the French Institute of Defense and the expert of Vietnam, Benoit de Treglode, said in an interview that the legitimacy of the Vietnam Communist Party came from economic growth."They can't scare away foreign investors, so maintaining Vietnam's political stability is the primary task of Su Lin."

Ruan Fuzhong has vigorously promoted "bamboo diplomacy", showing a "Vietnamese method" that is neither pro -beauty nor kiss.Some people are worried that changes in the leadership team will change Vietnam's economic and foreign policies and affect foreign investment.

Pan Chunyong said that bamboo diplomacy has always been the core of Vietnam's foreign policy."Vietnam has benefited from maintaining a balanced position between the United States and China, which helped Vietnam to attract external resources and promote economic development. Therefore, Ruan Fuzhong's successor has no reason to change it."

Anti -Corruption Furnace Bear Burning New Leadership must be balanced

David Hutt, a researcher at the Chinese Institute of Asia, a think tank headquarters in Slovakia, told Lianhe Zaobao: "The Vietnamese left by Ruan Fuzhong is more concentrated than ever, and different voices have been suppressed.As a result, Vietnam will appear in the future strong man politics "

Pan Chunyong said that the Vietnam's new leadership team must master the balance between maintaining policy continuity and promoting reform, especially in anti -corruption."The ability of the leadership to deal with these challenges will determine the political pattern and development of Vietnam in the next few years."
