From his experience studying telecommunications in Hungary before the Communists there began to soften a bit in the late 19893s and early 1980s, then becoming the chairman of the IT association of Vietnam in the 1990s and, later, as a businessman dealing with the Vietnamese government, he has an almost innate understanding of how party functionaries think.

It's here, maybe, that the Olympics comes closest to delivering on its promise to Bring Us All Together—in the futile and selective enforcement of doomed laws, in all the compromised functionaries of all the rotten ministries, in the fussing and rhetorical bloat of various podgy acronymic agencies, and especially in the destructive, all-consuming pettiness and raw, dick-swinging recklessness of the people in charge, we really do see the world.
