The Economist’s latest printed edition for Asia featuring top leader To Lam on its cover has been banned in the country, sources at two local media distributors said.
The May 24 issue, which is still available in the country in its electronic version, portrays 67-year-old Lam with two stars on his eyes on a red backdrop, in a reference to the country’s national flag, with the title: “The man with a plan for Vietnam”.
