The spirit of the Vietnamese people is manipulated by Facebook, YouTube and TikTok
Son said that despite many efforts and achievements in recent years, one cannot be “ironic about the country’s cultural development.”
He noted that we are witnessing a “phenomenon of cultural importance” and are being negatively influenced by movies, songs and lifestyles. Even foreign thoughts corrode and destroy the soul of the Vietnamese people.
“Many people say bitterly that the Vietnamese are here but their soul and spirit have crossed the border, being manipulated by Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.
We can’t just look at 1 or 2 films by Tran Thanh and Ly Hai that make a few hundred billion dong and think that the entire Vietnamese film industry is brilliant because there are dozens of films that are generating net losses.
We can’t watch just 1 or 2 shows. music, some artists live luxuriously, but they think that the entire Vietnamese art scene is rich because of hundreds of programs and thousands of artists living in difficult circumstances,” Mr. Son said.
According to Mr. Son, if science opens knowledge about nature to society, literature and art open goodness, beauty and love to people. Of the three goals of education Truth, goodness and beauty, literature and art represent 2.
Literary and artistic creativity is always a pioneer in opening the meaning of people’s lives, which is why it always requires artists to sacrifice themselves. A civilized society is one that listens and creates favorable conditions for the creativity of writers, artists and cultural professionals.
He considers this a period in which it is necessary to “awaken popular energy” for an era of national advancement. Therefore, it is very necessary to support and encourage the cultural products of the Vietnamese people, for the Vietnamese people, so that there is more love, more trust and pride in the development of the nation’s culture.
“That is why I hope to have conditions related to cultural development, including value-added tax, creating better conditions for literary and artistic products. At the same time, so that taxes do not become a barrier to patriotism, the spirit of national self-esteem and the aspiration to develop the country based on the inspiration that literary and artistic works bring to the people and the entire country. our country,” said Mr. Hieu.
Not being subject to VAT can have adverse effects for manufacturers and service providers
Finance and Budget Committee Chairman Le Quang Manh later explained that he fully agreed with the need to create a favorable development environment for the field of culture and arts. This is a very precise policy.
However, according to Manh, if services and goods in this field are not subject to VAT, there will be impacts that may be disadvantageous to manufacturers and service providers in this field. This area is like a fertilizer story.
“At that time input VAT will not be deducted if the product is not subject to tax. Therefore, we agree with the direction of this editorial to consider very carefully the fields and products that are most suitable,” Manh said.
He stated that since today’s opinions of the delegates are very relevant, the writing and verification agencies will continue to review the proposed content in detail to clarify the points of view and policies for each content… as best appropriate.
