Following the recent hacking incident at the National Credit Information Center (CIC) on 12 September 2025, numerous false reports regarding data leaks in various sectors such as energy, banking, transportation, and delivery have rapidly circulated on social media and online forums. The National Cybersecurity Association, after verification with relevant parties, confirmed these reports are baseless and contain no factual evidence.

The continued sharing and commenting on these false reports by internet users have exacerbated information chaos, making verification and response efforts more challenging. Mr. Vu Ngoc Son, Head of the Technology Department at the National Cybersecurity Association, emphasized that these false claims have caused related organizations to expend significant resources to verify and address the misinformation.

Experts warn that fake news in cyberspace is a deliberate attempt to damage reputations, create public unrest, and could facilitate fraudulent activities. The spread of misinformation has long-term harmful effects on digital trust, increases the risk of scams, and destabilizes business and social environments.

The National Cybersecurity Association urges the public to avoid sharing unverified information, verify facts through official channels, and remain vigilant against fraud schemes exploiting fake news. Internet users are called upon to contribute to building a safe and healthy online environment by rejecting misinformation.

China's Ministry of Commerce has launched an anti-dumping investigation targeting certain analog integrated circuits (analog ICs) imported from the United States. The probe will focus specifically on commodity interface ICs and gate driver ICs, components commonly used in devices like hearing aids, Wi-Fi routers, and temperature sensors. Major U.S. manufacturers involved include Texas Instruments and ON Semiconductor.

Simultaneously, China has initiated an anti-discrimination investigation concerning the U.S. chip industry, criticizing American export restrictions and tariffs as protectionist measures aimed at hindering China's high-tech development, particularly in advanced computer chips and artificial intelligence sectors.

These investigations follow the U.S. addition of 23 Chinese companies to its restricted entity list on September 12, citing national security and foreign policy concerns. Among those listed are two entities accused of acquiring chip manufacturing equipment for SMIC, China's leading semiconductor firm. The U.S. actions coincide with ongoing U.S.-China trade talks held in Madrid from September 14 to 17.

China's Ministry of Commerce condemned the timing of the U.S. sanctions, urging the U.S. to reverse what it termed as arbitrary suppression of Chinese companies. The agency affirmed that China will take necessary steps to protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises.

The Vietnam Private Sector Forum (VPSF) 2025 is scheduled for September 16 in Hanoi, gathering government leaders, ministries, agencies, localities, and nearly 1,000 businesses and entrepreneurs. Prior to the main session, four thematic dialogue sessions addressed startups, legal issues, and global expansion. Over 3,000 opinions collected from 12 prior dialogue sessions reveal key concerns from the business community.

Approximately 40% of the opinions focus on the policy environment, highlighting issues such as unstable regulations, overlapping documents, complicated procedures, and inconsistent enforcement, particularly regarding land use for investment projects. About 35% center on difficulties in accessing credit, especially for small and micro businesses, with limited bank capital and inadequate support mechanisms noted. Infrastructure and logistics account for 25%, where transportation costs in Vietnam exceed regional averages by 10–15%, affecting business competitiveness and profits. The remaining 20% emphasize challenges in science and technology, specifically small enterprises struggling with insufficient capital, personnel, and digital transformation tools.

VPSF 2025 aligns with key Politburo resolutions aimed at innovation, digital transformation, international integration, legal reform, private economic development, and education breakthroughs. The Government has demonstrated openness, actively listening to and incorporating business feedback into policies and administrative reforms, reflecting the forum’s practical and non-formal nature.

The Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association, leading VPSF, intends to monitor policy implementation post-forum, ensuring business recommendations lead to effective and appropriate policies. Under the theme "Unleashing potential – Shaping Vietnam's future," VPSF 2025 aspires to promote specific solutions contributing toward sustained double-digit economic growth and foster stronger collaboration among the private sector, government, and Vietnamese entrepreneurs domestically and abroad.
