All of the Red River delta's major arteries south of Hanoi feature Communist-run "floating markets" that offer goods stolen from ships or directly off the docks at Haiphong. Conspicuous consumption among Communist officials has become so flagrant that Premier Pham Van Dong felt it necessary to issue a prevailing...
