61
The second session of the 16th
62
National Assembly heard a proposal for the DREV law on cultural industries development on Saturday morning.
63
The country's first law of its kind takes an integrated approach to the sector as a connected value chain,
64
spanning creation, production, distribution, consumption and reinvestment.
65
And later on Saturday afternoon, lawmakers discussed the bill in groups.
66
Among the key questions was how can Vietnam turn cultural products into sources of economic value?
67
Our reporter Lộc Dương has the story.
68
One key area of the draft law drawing
69
National Assembly deputies' attention is the protection of intellectual property in the cultural industries.
70
The draft proposes supporting creators in accessing creative software, tools and digital platforms, while enabling cultural products to realize the economic potential.
71
The draft law will help artists
72
and businesses commercialize their cultural products by assessing their value as business assets and helping them attract investment.
73
It also provides safeguards when disputes arise or market conditions shift, which is particularly important in a relatively new and fast -changing market.
74
The draft law also emphasizes the role of businesses as key drivers of the cultural industries, creating conditions for them to lead investment and development,
75
particularly in high -risk investment ventures, with the potential to generate long -term economic value.
76
There are three key focuses.
77
First, improving access to finance through investment funds, public -private partnerships and targeted support for creative projects.
78
Second, easing business access to intellectual property and ensuring transparency.
79
Third, creating a market where businesses can invest confidently and creators can turn cultural value into marketable products.
80
As Vietnam's ambitions for its cultural industries extend beyond the domestic market,
81
turning Vietnamese cultural values into products that can compete internationally will require a long -term strategy to reach audiences around the world.
82
Countries with well -developed cultural industries have seen the sector make significant contributions to GDP.
83
South Korea, for example, has pursued a long -term cultural strategy starting from the ground up.
84
Vietnam, too, needs to promote its culture both at home and to audiences worldwide.
85
The draft law marks an exciting shift in how Vietnam approaches its cultural industries,
86
linking creativity with the support and investment needed to bring cultural products to market and reach wider audiences.
87
It also sets out complementary roles for the state in building the right framework,
88
businesses in driving investment in growth and their creative community in contributing talent and cultural identity.
89
The ambition is to grow the sector's contribution to the economy to 7 % of GDP by 2030
90
and 9 % by 2045.
91
This is Lop Zương reporting from Hanoi for Vietnam Today.
92
Vietnam's e -commerce market continues to grow with online retail sales in 2025 estimated at 32 billion US dollars.
93
But rapid growth also brings greater risks.
94
Fake accounts are exploiting brand names and images to defraud consumers.
95
This has highlighted the need for seller verification and tighter oversight to protect consumer rights.
96
Our reporter Ming -Hiu has more.
97
Nguyen Mạnh Hùng has spent more than 22 million Vietnamese dong
98
or 860 US dollars shopping for consumer goods on these e -commerce platforms over the past six years.
99
However, his experience has not always been smooth.
100
If the product I purchase is faulty, some sellers still find ways to prevent me from returning it.
101
So you have to do much more research and carefully consider your options before making a purchase.
102
Brand names and images can also be used without authorization to impersonate businesses on e -commerce platforms.
103
This company has reported three separate cases of its brand being impersonated online.
104
Such incidents can damage a company's reputation, confuse consumers, and undermine trust in official sales channels.
105
So this is a fake fan page impersonating their brand, which scammed a consumer out of 500 US dollars.
106
And this is the brand's official fan page marked with a verification badge.
107
Once an incident is confirmed, the company preserves evidence, reports the violations to the relevant platforms,
108
restores account access if an account has been taken over, and issues an official announcement when necessary.
109
According to the Vietnam e -commerce agency,
110
more than 110 ,000 product listings and 31 ,000 shops suspected of violations were removed in the first nine months of 2026.
111
To improve transparency, regulators are proposing stricter platform accountability and stronger seller verification.
112
From the 1st of January 2027, all sellers on e -commerce platforms will be required to verify their identities.
113
We have also proposed developing a shared database between central
114
and provincial authorities to ensure information can be shared and processed more efficiently.
115
Greater autonomy for provincial authorities would also help them better identify and monitor business violations in their respective areas.
116
As shopping continues to shift online, consumers' protection must go beyond product quality to include the ability to verify who is selling the goods.
117
A transparent digital marketplace depends on closer coordination between businesses, platforms and regulators.
118
And as AI reshapes how businesses are built, AI solo businesses are grinding ground.
119
Here's a single founder uses AI agents to run functions that would traditionally require a team.
120
And Vietnam Data Surfer reports
121
that the proportion of new single -person businesses surged from 19 .4 % in 2015 to 45 .6 % in 2025.
122
Yes, and the government looks to leverage this momentum, targeting 1 million such businesses by 2030.
123
However, the true test remains whether AI can help build businesses that are both effective and sustainable.
124
For An, who runs a complex alongside other projects, AI has become a way to manage more with fewer resources.
125
He is building a system that follows standard procedures while freeing up his time to focus on other business priorities.
126
AI acts as a dedicated assistant, processing vast amounts of information simultaneously.
127
It boosts operational capacity and efficiency by two or three times.
128
I coded an internal operational app to free up my time to handle other priorities.
129
I can upscale or explore creative ideas for our marketing.
130
It's leaner, more cost -effective and faster." Built with AI,
131
this website allows one person to manage a cafe, restaurant, homestay and karaoke complex.
132
With just a click, this person can track cleaning tasks,
133
check room availability, or even paste a customer message into AI to receive tailored service recommendations.
134
By optimizing staffing needs and streamlining operations,
135
AI solo business models can achieve a profit margin of up to 80%.
136
AI is taking on tasks that would otherwise require specialist support.
137
This is changing not only how quickly one can build a business, but also how much it costs to develop and market a product.
138
Repetitive tasks involving data extraction and reporting are incredibly tedious and inefficient for humans.
139
AI executes them flawlessly.
140
An e -commerce firm, after transitioning to an AI -driven model, sees productivity triple.
141
The bigger challenge is turning an initial idea into a business that can continue to attract customers.
142
With negligible physical barriers to entry, market participation surges intensifying competition.
143
The life cycle of an AI product might just be three months before the market declines due to saturation from copycats.
144
The ultimate differentiator for a solo enterprise is the quality of service provided.
145
Founders must deliver the optimal solutions for their clients.
146
That expertise forms the true moat, locking competitors out.
147
But technology alone does not guarantee success.
148
The real opportunity lies in turning expertise into services people are willing to pay for.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
