The Vietnamese government has a fine line to tread. Due to the current territorial disputes with China, there is a resurgence of Sinophobia among the populace in Vietnam. The Vietnamese government doesn't want to antagonize the Chinese government and jeopardize a huge trading relationship, but it also doesn't want to appear to be caving to the Chinese. It had shown remarkable restraints in allowing anti-China protests to proceed, but recently it had been curbing them because the protestors attention is now focussing on the government itself.

Where did you get such a cheap cellular plan? I hardly make any calls, but my bare-bones prepaid phone plan costs more than $4 a month. In the US, the cheapest I found is T-Mobile To Go, which charges about 10 cents a minute if you buy $100. Since the minutes last at most a year, the minimum you have to pay is about more than $8 a month.
