“Building the spirit of youth through solutions to raise awareness and training through movements and actions to create self-resistance for youth against social negativity, sabotage and distortion by hostile forces. Thereby, helping youth become more sensitive to political and social issues, contributing positively to the fight against false information and arguments on cyberspace”. That is the guiding viewpoint of the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union in the fight against false and hostile views.
Party with youth - Youth with Party
Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education's Youth Union Nguyen Vu Hoai An introduced to us many activities of the program "Youth Union Day - Good Work Day 2023", including the forum "Party with Youth - Youth with the Party" with the theme "Promoting the role of young Party members in protecting the Party's ideological foundation". The forum exceeded the number of registered students, with nearly 500 students filling the hall. Hoai An said: "There were 30 speeches participating in the forum with perspectives from reality to help students clearly see the nature, plots, methods and tricks of reactionary groups and hostile forces that spread distorted information on cyberspace".
Among them, the most notable is the opinion of Ngo Trinh Anh Thu, a member of the Young Communist Club: “In addition to the topic of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile views, it is necessary to equip the elite union members and young party members in loyal groups and the Young Communist Club with knowledge, methods of fighting and refuting, and ways to attract the online community to discuss topics and publicly refute the erroneous and reactionary arguments of hostile forces”. Or as suggested by student Huynh Ngoc Tu: “It is necessary to create more forums “Party with Youth - Youth with the Party” at the grassroots level to foster awareness, revolutionary ideals and create resistance for the youth”.
On the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, District 11 Youth Union and many Youth Union branches organized thematic activities "The Day of Total Victory", "The Revolutionary Path of Youth in the New Era"..., attracting thousands of Youth Union members and young people to participate. From the opinions of participating speakers revolving around the assessment of viewpoints and perceptions of the Victory Day of April 30, 1975, Youth Union members and young people have a clearer understanding of their role in fighting against wrong viewpoints on social networks.
Nguyen Thi Ha, Young Theory Club of Tan Phu District Youth Union, spoke at the forum “Youth with Socialist Ideals”: “Each member and youth of the present era has a great role and responsibility for the cause of building and defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; promoting revolutionary ethics, patriotism, and socialist ideals; protecting the Party’s ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile views. Each of our actions and deeds today in protecting and promoting spiritual values is a useful contribution to the longevity and development of the Party and the country.”
Create a resilient environment
“In your opinion, what are the difficulties and advantages of the Youth Union in participating in the work of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile views? What is the solution to effectively implement the political activity "Aspiration to contribute - The way of life of the youth?" Nguyen Thi Thuy Linh, Secretary of the Youth Union of Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union, asked this question in a discussion session of the Young Communist Club on the topic of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile views. This content received nearly 20 discussion opinions from the Club members with many solutions and proposals close to the reality of each unit and locality.
Based on the characteristics of the large number of young people and their easy attraction and incitement, hostile forces always use new and increasingly sophisticated and complex tricks and tactics to carry out their plot of peaceful evolution, especially in the social network environment. Young people are always the direct targets of being influenced, attracted and incited by distorted and hostile arguments in the present and the future. Therefore, protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile views in the new situation is the top priority task of union members, young people and the Union organization in participating in Party building.

Youth Union member Van Hung said: “Each Youth Union unit, each Youth Union member and youth need to diversify their approaches and propaganda methods on the contents and values of protecting the Party's ideological foundation in the new situation, attracting Youth Union members and youth to participate in the fight against reactionary and distorted articles by hostile forces and reactionary organizations on cyberspace. Along with that, it is necessary to spread and introduce positive information, orientation, raise political and ideological awareness, legal understanding, and create resistance for youth against negative impacts and influences of society.”
Ho Chi Minh City currently has more than 100 Young Communist Clubs, Young Theory Clubs, Loyalty Groups, Cultivation Groups, etc. that regularly organize seminars, competitions, exchanges, and political activities that attract thousands of young party members, union members, youth, students, and members of political and social organizations to participate. According to the assessment of the Standing Committee of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union, in recent times, the activities of these clubs and groups have had many innovations in methods, content, and activities that are quite diverse, suitable to the characteristics of each locality, unit, and learning and working environment of young people. In particular, the "Young Communist" Movement and the activities "Communist Labor Day", "Union Member Day - Good Work Day 2023" ..., have had a widespread influence on young people in terms of awareness, understanding of political viewpoints and stances and issues from real life, and the national development goals set by Ho Chi Minh City. This is considered a sharp environment and weapon for each member and youth to improve their resistance and spread positive things to youth and the community participating in social networks.
