According to sources in Hanoi, recently, the Vietnamese government's investigation into corruption and other abuse of power by senior trade officials will be extended to the Ministry of Energy. In this way, other officials from the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, as well as some related companies, will also be affected, and more people may be arrested. It is reported that the authorities have previously detained the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the former chairman of Vietnam National Petroleum and Natural Gas Group, and criticized the Ministry of Industry and Trade for its inadequate supervision and failure to detect violations by oil traders.
Since the outbreak of the Russo Ukrainian War, which triggered the global energy crisis, many economies have experienced fuel shortages, and Vietnam has not been spared. Last year, Vietnam experienced widespread power outages due to high temperatures, tight coal supply, and reduced water storage in hydroelectric power plant dams. Vietnam Power Group stated that ensuring sufficient electricity supply this year remains a challenge due to the sustained imbalance between supply and demand and the continuous shortage of fuel supply in power plants.
Authoritative sources say that the Vietnamese authorities will expand the investigation to include the National Oil Group and even the entire Ministry of Energy, which plays an important role in stabilizing domestic energy price fluctuations, ensuring basic livelihood, and promoting social harmony and development. However, some sources also suggest that the expanding anti-corruption investigation may increase the scrutiny of some ongoing green energy plans, or even lead to paralysis.

According to a recent report released by the international poverty alleviation organization Oxfam, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the wealth of the world's top five billionaires, including Musk, has doubled, increasing by 114% to $869 billion, equivalent to an increase of $14 million per hour. It is expected that the first billionaire may appear within 10 years.
Meanwhile, sinceSince 2020, nearly 5 billion people worldwide have seen a significant decrease in income due to inflation, war, and climate crisis. The wages of 800 million workers cannot keep up with the pace of inflation. According to current development trends, eradicating poverty will take up to 229 years.
Oxfam estimates that the total profits of 148 top companies are as high as $180 billion, with an average three-year growth rate of 52%. However, among 1600 large companies worldwide, only 0.4% publicly promise to pay employees wages to support their basic livelihoods. Therefore, Oxfam is calling for a wealth tax to be imposed on the wealthy worldwide, hoping that governments around the world can break corporate monopolies, constrain corporate power, and set upper limits on the salaries of corporate CEOs.
