Even though Communist hardliners have clamped down on some freedoms, the government nonetheless promised in November it would soon allow foreigners to own 49% of local businesses, up from 30%. As Vietnam's Communist Party encourages economic growth without wanting to let go of power, it's only setting itself up for more clashes with foreign partners...
