Again, I not interested of such news. But because you questioned, I read the court filing. What we know so far. This guy is publisher. He repeatedly criticizes Vietnam gov and communist ruling party. In this case hr made the claim about Vingroup attempting to bribe him twice, but failed to deliver any evidence.
So the court ordered him to stop defamation in the future. If failing he will pay 250,000 euros or 6 months prison.
He made other accusations and remarks. Accusations are always problematic. If made he must show evidence, otherwise he is guilty. As remarks, that’s generally accepted as free speech.

That's just for one of several claims VF Germany made against him, the one he actually lost. You can see it clearly in how the legal and court fees are divided.

That´s ruled by laws. the costs are calculated by numerous factors. that´s a thick book. I don´t know if anyone interested of reading.

FPT Recognized For Semiconductor Excellence And Showcases Vietnam’s First End-To-End Chip Ecosystem At SemiExpo 2025​

07/11/2025

Hanoi, November 7–8, 2025 – At the Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Exhibition 2025 (SemiExpo Vietnam 2025), FPT Corporation received the Vietnam Semiconductor Distinguished Industry Award 2025, recognizing its outstanding contributions to advancing Vietnam’s semiconductor industry. At the event, FPT also showcased its comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem under the theme “Powering Your Next Innovation”, reflecting its vision for an integrated innovation landscape where technology, talent, and creativity converge to elevate Vietnam’s role in the global semiconductor value chain.



SemiExpo Vietnam 2025 is co-organized by the National Innovation Center (Ministry of Planning and Investment) and the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). The event centers around the theme “Accelerating Vietnam’s Semiconductor Ambition”, highlighting the country’s rapid progress within the global supply chain. The exhibition welcomes around 5,000 delegates and features nearly 200 booths from leading technology corporations, universities, and industrial parks worldwide. Participants include industry leaders such as ASML, Samsung, Amazon, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron, Coherent, Amkor, Micron, Cadence, Qualcomm, and Intel, alongside Vietnam’s key enterprises, including FPT.

FPT also outlined its long-term roadmap toward mastering advanced packaging and testing technologies, aiming to strengthen Vietnam’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities through collaboration with leading equipment providers such as Quantel.

As part of its workforce development strategy, FPT is pursuing the goal of training 10,000 semiconductor engineers by 2030, contributing significantly to Vietnam’s national target of 50,000 engineers. The training programs are developed according to international industry standards and co-designed with leading global semiconductor partners and experts, enabling learners to access real-world projects and advanced semiconductor technologies early in their studies.

To support scalable engineering education, FPT has also developed a 1:1 virtual cleanroom simulation platform, allowing learners to safely practice operating semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as photolithography systems and probe stations in an immersive environment. This solution helps reduce risks, optimize costs, and enhance training efficiency for universities and industry partners.

Visitors explore FPT’s exhibition booth featuring Vietnam-designed chip products and semiconductor talent development solutions.

FPT’s participation and recognition at SemiExpo Vietnam 2025 reaffirm the corporation’s pioneering role in advancing “Make in Vietnam” technologies, strengthening public–private collaboration and enhancing Vietnam’s competitivenes and presence in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

Her soul is ugly as her looks, she denies any crimes or wrong doings of Japan in WW II.

Instead, I have no opinion about the new Japanese prime minister. I expect her to make mistakes. Both Chinese and Americans are happy that she is elected president. The Americans expect Japan to be a hitman, and the Chinese expect Japan to make mistakes.

She and her gov might crumble under pressure, that is good for China.
