Riot Games is surveying and planning to film a 9-episode TV series based on the League of Legends game and the online cartoon of the same name in Cat Ba, Hai Phong at the end of 2025. The episodes will be widely shown on platforms such as Netflix, HBO...

According to Ms. Rose Lam, Riot Studios surveyed many other countries in Asia such as Japan, Korea, Thailand and found that Vietnam is the best location for the company's creative and production needs. The team surveyed and evaluated Cat Ba as a suitable and highly feasible location.

...

Emphasizing the viewpoint of the Party and State of Vietnam always wanting to be friends with all countries in the world for peace, friendship and development cooperation, the Minister affirmed that Vietnam is ready to cooperate and create the most favorable conditions for the research team and filming. At the same time, he suggested the film crew the following issues:

First of all, the delegation needs to clearly understand the consistent viewpoint of the Vietnamese Government that any activity on Vietnamese territory must comply with Vietnamese law, in the spirit of cooperation for mutual development, harmonious benefits, and shared risks.

Second, this is an entertainment film, so the company needs to study Vietnam's Cinema Law to have the highest quality footage, limiting offensive and violent elements that are not suitable for Vietnamese and international cinema.

Third, the filming location is Cat Ba archipelago, a world natural heritage. Therefore, the issue of heritage protection and environmental protection must be given top priority. Vietnam's viewpoint is not to trade the environment for economic benefits.

Fourthly, this cooperation activity is a vivid proof of the two countries upgrading their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is ready to accompany and cooperate with the film crew and hopes that after this start, more Hollywood films will be filmed in Vietnam.

Summary

Vietnam’s Decree 147, a restrictive internet law, takes effect, granting the government expanded control over online content under the pretext of “national security” and “social order.”

The law requires tech platforms like Facebook and TikTok to store user data, verify accounts, and comply with takedown requests within 24 hours.

Critics, including Human Rights Watch, warn it suppresses dissent and stifles free expression, while activists fear increased censorship and intimidation.

The decree also limits gaming sessions and impacts those earning livelihoods through social media. Activists see it as a growing crackdown on civil liberties.

In 2009 Vietnam had planned to build two nuclear power stations with a combined capacity of about 4,000 MW in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan, but the National Assembly rejected the proposal in 2016 on cost grounds.

Earlier reports have said that Vietnam was considering a return to nuclear power after 2035 with the construction of about 1,000 MW of capacity by 2040 and 5,000 MW by 2045.

Seem like they are finding investors and partners to help turn this project into a feature film for theaters.
