Re: Installation of the statue of Ho Chi Minh and Inauguration of the “Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh Space” at the museum of the City of Mimasaka.

Dear Sir,

We write to you on behalf of community organizations and associations of Refugees from Communist Vietnam presently living in Japan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Switzerland and the United States.  We extend our best wishes for the enduring friendship between the people of Japan and Vietnam, and present our greetings to you and to the people of the City of Mimasaka.

We recently became aware of the City of Mimasaka’s plans to celebrate the 45^th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Vietnam. Information provided by the news media indicates that on November 21, 2017, the government of the City of Mimasaka accepted a statue of Ho Chi Minh presented by a member of the central committee of the Vietnamese Communist Party and has inaugurated a “Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh Space” at the museum of Mimasaka.

We respectfully implore you to reconsider your recognition of Ho Chi Minh. 

We laud your endeavors to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the people of Japan and the people of Vietnam. We submit, however that there are other figures of Vietnamese descent who would be much more appropriate for recognition in the annals of Vietnamese history. To extol the fighting spirit and the accomplishments of Vietnamese historical figures in their struggles to regain and preserve our country’s independence,  there were many heroes who deserve the veneration of all the Vietnamese people, such as Tran Hung Dao, who defeated three successive Mongol invasions in the 13rd century, or Nguyen Trai who was instrumental in expelling the Ming occupying imperial forces during 15^th century.

Ho Chi Minh, on the other hand, was a cadre of the Comintern, trained in the Soviet Union, who returned to Vietnam to form the Vietnamese Communist Party and put the Vietnamese people under the yoke of a Stalinist dictatorial regime. During the so called “Land Reform” in the 1950s in North Vietnam under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, ten of thousands of people were put to death on the accusation of being “land owners”. In the 1960s and 1970s, Ho Chi Minh and the leaders of the Vietnamese Communist party initiated and conducted the invasion of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) during a 10-year long “Vietnam War” that ravaged our country and caused millions of casualties.

We know that the Japanese people do not condone the assassination of political opponents, the disregard of human rights, the maltreatment and imprisonment of political dissidents continuously perpetrated by the Vietnamese Communist regime for the past 70 years.  Ho Chi Minh is responsible for all these atrocities inflicted on the Vietnamese people, a terrible legacy that remains to this day. 

Therefore, in the name of millions of victims of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese Communist party, we respectfully protest the honoring of Ho Chi Minh and ask the government of the City of Mimasaka to remove the statue of Ho Chi Minh and the “Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh Space” at the museum of Mimasaka. The visitors at  the Mimasaka museum certainly deserve a true and accurate rendition of the people of Vietnam’s history, rather than another piece of propaganda that only furthers the narrative of a dictatorial and corrupt Communist regime.

We wish you and the people of Mimasaka the best.

Sincerely,

Nhân danh một số tổ chức cộng đồng và hội đoàn người Việt tỵ nạn Cộng Sản hiện cư ngụ tại Nhật Bản, Úc, Canada, Pháp, Đức, Na Uy, Thụy Sĩ và Hoa Kỳ, chúng tôi xin kính chúc  tỉnh hữu nghị giữa Nhât Bản và Việt Nam luôn luôn bền vững và xin gởi lời chào mừng đến Ông Thị trưởng và nhân dân thành phố Mimasaka.

Chúng tôi vừa được biết thành phố Mimasaka đang chuẩn bị mừng lễ kỷ niệm 45 năm bang giao giữa Nhật Bản và Việt Nam. Các hệ thống truyền thông cũng cho biết chánh quyền thành phố Mimasaka đã tiếp nhận một bức tượng Hồ Chí Minh do một cán bộ của Ủy ban trung ương đảng CSVN trao tặng và đã khánh thành khu “Không gian Việt Nam-Hồ Chí Minh trong bảo tàng việc thành phố Mimasaka.

.

We respectfully implore you to reconsider your recognition of Ho Chi Minh. 

We laud your endeavors to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the people of Japan and the people of Vietnam. We submit, however that there are other figures of Vietnamese descent who would be much more appropriate for recognition in the annals of Vietnamese history. To extol the fighting spirit and the accomplishments of Vietnamese historical figures in their struggles to regain and preserve our country’s independence,  there were many heroes who deserve the veneration of all the Vietnamese people, such as Tran Hung Dao, who defeated three successive Mongol invasions in the 13rd century, or Nguyen Trai who was instrumental in expelling the Ming occupying imperial forces during 15^th century.
 

Chúng tôi kính cẩn xin Ông xét lại việc vinh danh Hồ Chí Minh. Chúng tôi hoan nghênh những nỗ lực nhằm siết chặt tình hữu nghị giữa người dân Nhật Bản và Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, lịch sữ Việt Nam có những nhân vật đáng được ghi nhận công đức. Để vinh danh những người có công trạng xây dựng và gìn giữ đất nước và dân tộc Việt Nam, chúng tôi thiển nghĩ quý giới chức của thành phố Mimasaka có thể chọn trong lịch sử nước Việt Nam một trong số nhiều vị đã được nhân dân Việt Nam tôn kính, như Trần Hưng Đạo (thế kỷ 13 đời nhà Trần) hay Nguyễn Trải (thế kỷ 14-15 đời nhà Lê),

.

Ho Chi Minh, on the other hand, was a cadre of the Comintern, trained in the Soviet Union, who returned to Vietnam to form the Vietnamese Communist Party and put the Vietnamese people under the yoke of a Stalinist dictatorial regime. During the so called “Land Reform” in the 1950s in North Vietnam under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, ten of thousands of people were put to death on the accusation of being “land owners”. In the 1960s and 1970s, Ho Chi Minh and the leaders of the Vietnamese Communist party initiated and conducted the invasion of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) during a 10-year long “Vietnam War” that ravaged our country and caused millions of casualties.
 

Hồ Chí Minh là một cán bộ của Cộng Sản Quốc Tế được huấn luyện ở Nga Sô và được đưa về Việt Nam để thành lập đảng CSVN và tròng lên nhân dân Việt Nam cái ách thống tị độc tài theo kiểu Stalin. Trong cái gọi là “cải cách ruộng đất” trong thập niên 1950 tại miền Bắc Việt Nam dưới sự lãnh đạo của HCM, hằng chục ngàn người đã bị xử tử vì bị kết án là “địa chủ”. Trong 2 thập niên 1960 và 70, HCM và các lãnh tụ CSVN đã khơi động và điều khiển cuộc chiến tranh Việt Nam trong 10 năm trời khiến cho đất nược Việt Nam bị tàn phà và hằng triệu người thương vong.

.

We know that the Japanese people do not condone the assassination of political opponents, the disregard of human rights, the maltreatment and imprisonment of political dissidents continuously perpetrated by the Vietnamese Communist regime for the past 70 years.  Ho Chi Minh is responsible for all these atrocities inflicted on the Vietnamese people, a terrible legacy that remains to this day. 
 

Chúng tôi tin rằng nhân dân Nhật Bản không thể đồng tình với những vụ ám sát đối phương, những việc chà đạp nhân quyền, đối xử tàn nhẫn và cầm tù những người bất đồng chánh kiến, những việc mà chế độ CSVN đã làm từ 70 năm nay. HCM là người chịu trách nhiệm về những điều tàn ác đối với nhân dân Việt Nam mà hậu quả còn tồn tại đến ngày nay.

.

Therefore, in the name of millions of victims of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese Communist party, we respectfully protest the honoring of Ho Chi Minh and ask the government of the City of Mimasaka to remove the statue of Ho Chi Minh and the “Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh Space” at the museum of Mimasaka. The visitors at  the Mimasaka museum certainly deserve a true and accurate rendition of the people of Vietnam’s history, rather than another piece of propaganda that only furthers the narrative of a dictatorial and corrupt Communist regime.
 

Vì vậy, nhân danh hằng triệu nạn nhân của HCM và đảng CSVN, chúng tôi kính cẩn phản đối việc vinh danh HCM và xin yêu cầu chánh quyển thành  phố Mimasaka hủy bỏ bức tượng HCM và “Không gian Việt Nam-HCM” trong bảo tàng viện Mimasaka. Những khách đến viếng viện bảo tàng Mimasaka cần được biết rõ về lịch sữ của nhân dân Việt Nam, thay vì thấy những màng tuyên truyền cho một chế độ CS độc tài thối nát.

.

We wish you and the people of Mimasaka the best.
 

Chúng tôi xin kính chúc Ông Thị trưởng và nhân dân thành phố Mimasaka mọi điều tốt đẹp.

Sincerely,
 

Trân trọng,
