One of the strengths of @amchamvietnam’s Education & Training Committee is peer-led learning. At our January meeting, Dr. Majo George spoke on US university franchise and partnership models in #Vietnam, focusing on why they’re attractive and how both partner institutions benefit.

Người Lao Động featured my remarks on Ho Chi Minh City’s role in #Vietnam’s economic development. I noted that the city continues to play a leading role in driving national growth and remains the country’s strategic hub for international #business. https://t.co/5yX8N8kkbH

Delighted to host Professor Markus Taussig from Rutgers University in my Cross-Cultural Management class at @daihocUEF. A longtime researcher on #Vietnam, he reflected on the normalization of U.S.–Vietnam relations and shared his research on emerging markets across #Asia.

We’ve truly enjoyed having students and faculty from Guizhou University of Finance and Economics with us at @daihocUEF this summer. Their visit brought energy, curiosity, and international spirit to our campus. Looking forward to welcoming more #GUFE students in the future!

Life has come full circle—from being an international student in #China to now welcoming Chinese students on their own study abroad path. I was glad to deliver remarks to students from GUFE as they begin summer studies, explore #Vietnam, and connect across cultures at @daihocUEF.

This summer, I finally visited #Tokyo—over five years after my first trip to #Japan. I wondered what the capital might reveal that other cities hadn’t. In my latest for @AsiaConnects, I reflect on what stayed with me: the cultural rhythm beneath daily life. https://t.co/5QOru5eS17

Summer is almost here—and with it, study abroad programs, language camps, and student exchanges. Don’t let #passport issues ruin the experience. 4 months left? No blank pages? That’s a no-go in many countries. ✈️ Read this for more: https://t.co/LmBYixee29

President #Trump on #Chinese students in the U.S.: “No problem... It’s our honor to have them, frankly.” He added that he wants international students to come and feels "very honored by it". https://t.co/eYrku1GIhP

We scroll fast. But good thinking takes time. In my recent lecture on critical thinking at the American Center in Ho Chi Minh City, I spoke with over 100 attendees about how to slow down, question deeply, and think more clearly in a world that often pushes us to react.

As the U.S. seeks to deepen ties with #Vietnam, it must recognize #Hanoi’s long, delicate balancing act with #China. Vietnam has managed this complex relationship for centuries. Strategic partnerships thrive on trust—not ultimatums. Forcing an “us or them” choice could backfire.
