HANOI, Vietnam (AP) Only top Communist Party and government officials and a few others will be allowed to watch international satellite TV in Vietnam under a new government order, state-controlled media said Monday.
Prime Minister Phan Van Khai signed the directive last week as part of a recent retightening of control over the media by the ruling Communist Party.
All TV stations in Vietnam are operated by the government, and all newspapers are published by government or party-controlled organizations. The media are viewed as the mouthpiece of the Communist Party.
